Ten things autism isn't

Martin

Interesting list by an autistic blogger:

I think that all clinicians tasked with autism assessment should read it.

  • Thanks that's helpful misconceptions can make it hard to tell people. The husband bit was familiar to me as he helps where I find things hard and knows why. I can do some things others do but it is harder and need more time to unwind after. It explains how I can do things in my job that don't fit the classic way some think of us. 

    The thing I haven't grasped yet is when someone asks me to do something which is too challenging explaining why as I don't think they would understand.
