As someone who has always wanted to travel the world but not been able to due to my struggles with any change to my routine, I am facinated with what it must be like to be autistic in other countires and whether there are any societies that it might be easier to live in than our own. Ive always felt that although the UK has more support and understanding than many countries, British culture and way of life is so difficult to understand and live in as an autistic person. Even though Ive lived in it most of my life, most of it makes no sense to me
So I read that in Holland autistic people can get extra support like taking someone for free with them to things like zoos and attractions for support and that if we have an autism card we can skip queues if we feel sensory overload and stuff like that
Since I was a little kid I have been facinated with German culture, everything about it, like food, music, football, films, way of life. It just makes so much sense to me. Lately I have got really into Swiss culture too. German culture is one of my special interests and I think Switzerland is too. I read a wonderful quote today "If autistic people ran a country it would look very much like Germany or Switzerland". Maybe thats why.
Does anyone have any experiences of being autistic in other countries? Im really interested
