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!

  • Sorry you had some horrible experiences. Sadly that doesn't seem unusual.  I hope things are changing.  I too think the D is not disabled or disorder but different. My son has just started at nursery and his head teacher said to me that she thinks that it is wrong to expect kids on the spectrum to always adapt to others. It's the other kids that should adapt because it's easier for them.  I wanted to hug her.  I think your blog is a really good way of getting the message out there that everyone is different and I would love to read the new blog you mention. Well done.  I think there have been some case studies that show if you can educate other students about autism it improves the experience of the students with autism.
