Living With Autism

JDDurrant

Hello,

I recently wrote a blog post about my life with autism. The purpose of this blog post is to help other people with autism. It is based on the idea that if you have autism, you don't have to think of yourself as disabled. This post has received loads of positive comments from people I know, but I want to get it out there. I would like other people with autism to read it and hopefully feel better about being different.

If you do read this, I encourage you to tell me what you think about it.

Enjoy!

  • that was amazing

    horrible and disgusting that ANY of those schools are allowed to operate at all,

    but its a sad fact of this nt society, we are biased, judgmental, and selfish, we judge on the 'norm' rather than just accept people for who they are, and we are ignorant, and allowed to be, on individual peoples needs especailyl when it comes to 'hidden disability' like autism

    (sorry fellow nts, but when you see things from another perspective, you can see that)

    my partners school years were very similar to your own

    i feel so angry when he talks about it, because i think its disgusting these people are allowed to be teachers of young kids when they treat them with contempt just because they are 'different' or have different individual needs

    but, both you and he have come out of it by yourselves and are doing well, THAT is what matters now, that and of course making sure THIS ATTITUDE STOPS and small children and young adults with autism have respect and proper treatment as they deserve
