ADS Rights

Hello everyone,

I have a question for the community. As someone with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), I have noticed that people with ASD often don't stand up for themselves like other minorities do. I wonder why this is the case?

We see people from other minorities fighting for their rights, making their voices heard, and advocating for themselves. However, I feel that this is not the case for individuals with ASD. We often keep to ourselves, avoid conflict, and are generally less assertive.

I believe that it is important for people with ASD to stand up for themselves and to advocate for their rights. This is not only important for our own well-being, but also for the betterment of society as a whole. We can't expect change to happen if we don't speak up take action that inpacts the system which keeps us in these chains ?

So, why do you think people with ASD don't stand up for themselves like other minorities? And what can we do to change this? I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this topic.

  • Hello Switcher.  I'm Number.

    I'm no shrinking violet in matters of confidence.  But I am a pragmatist and generally operate more efficiently and comfortably under my own steam and following my own coordinates.  I'm OK in a group, but it is not my natural state nor preference.

    I would imagine that the "individuality"  and "lonerness" (not a word, but should be) of many autistic souls explains some of why we don't coalesce.

    NB.  An honourable mention is appropriate here for one of our number named Isperg who aspires to raise an autistic army.......so some do look to organise (as a pragmatist, I rather shy from trying the herd cats!)

  • do you have a sign up sheet for this autistic army. ? i am prerty good at making memes so if you want a propagandists

    autistic army.
