Advice for N.T's

over 5 years ago

I have to deal with someone who isn't mental health aware and although i have told her im Autistic i don't think she really grasps what that means as she often changes appointment times or turns up at my home un announced and brings different people with her and creates situations that really stress me out and what im looking for is a free booklet or information pack which explains to N.T's how to deal with autistic adults so as to not causes stress etc any help would be appreciated i have looked online but i don't have a printer so im looking for free info type pack i can request to be posted to me please

thanks in anticipation

    I think the main issue is everyone is different, so a generic "fits all" info pack can be more damaging. Have you considered typing something out to print off that's individual to you? Then you can hand it to her - include the effects of not following the guidelines you have set out for yourself.

    yeah at a push but im looking for something more official with general topics covered ie routines light noise sensitivity touching,  new strangers personal space etc

    Tell them what effects it has on you when they do these things. Then if they turn up with other people etc against your wishes, tell them you aren't letting them in. It's nothing to do with autism here - if someone disrespects your wishes they aren't worth dealing with.
