I am on a course understanding autism level 2, and found this;
One major difference from other individuals with autism is that those with HFA and Asperger syndrome usually want to be involved with other people; they just don’t know how to go about it. They may have problems understanding the emotions of others and struggle to understand facial expressions or non-verbal communication. This can lead to them being teased and they can often feel like social outcasts which, in turn, can lead to depression and anxiety.
This is victim shaming autistic people for the treatment they receive at the hands of NT and quite jarring to see it a part of education course.
