I have spend my life trying to fit in, to the NT spectrum.
Why ? Is there any NT's out there trying to live on the autistic spectrum ?
Get my point.... this fish needs autistic water to swim in,, not NT air.
Albert Einstein - "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
My whole autistic world has been taught about fitting in,, to the NT world. Hence stress, anxiety and meltdowns. Nt parents, nt peers, nt medical professionals, nt therapy and point the wrong way. I AM THE 20 of the 20/80 powerlaw, my camp is not in the nt 80.
I think it about time the NT's involved the autistic world realised,, they are not Welcome in my land of OZtism, they don't understand it anyway, I am my own universe anyway. Why can we not tell the NT world, stay out of our business, you are not welcome. Take your therapies, pills, centres, education and your NT world lens and get out of my autistic life, as conformity is half the autistic stress spectrum.
I think, I am now accepting my autism as it is and now not trying to be a NT. In fact NT's are a deadly virus in my world, and guess what I am happy in my own quarantine zone without them. Always wondered why I like long walks into forests away,, now I understand. I have always had my back on the NT world... but by societies design always getting pushed into there world via education, employment, relationships and media.
Autism is the new world of visionaries, scientists, diplomats, inventors, chefs, artists, writers and musicians. They are the original thinkers and a driving force in our culture.
I am proud to be left handed(autism), why should I use the right hand(nt) ?
