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!

  • Thanks for reading my blog post and sharing your thoughts. I'm glad you like what I wrote, and I hope you consider showing it to your partner if you haven't already. If he thinks of himself as "disabled", this post could help him.

    Although neurotypicals generally pick on people with autism because they don't know why people are different, they could pick up on these things and try to understand and accept our differences.

    I recently started attending a new school and I'm finding it hard to talk to the other students and make friends. When I do talk to other students, I sometimes feel a bit ignored by them.

    I am thinking about writing another blog post on my website, actually defining autism and telling everyone else what they do without realising it. I think that if everyone in my school knew more about autism, I would have an easier time making friends there.
