Why does everyone with autism get treated differently ?

Why does everyone with autism get treated differently ?

By reading the forum, it appears to me that everyone is getting treated differently with autism ? Bus Passes, Benefits, support, employment, housing, diagnosis,, there doesn't seem to be a NHS treatment standard across the board. I thought the NAS would have policed this side of things,, so that AUTISM IS AUTISM, not an adhoc system. It is a disgrace ! to all those professional bodies involved. Yell

  • It's because we walk and talk and look normal.  The fact that in those ways it's an invisible disability means we get less sympathy, less awareness, less support.

    It's so short-sighted, because in the longer term we end up costing the services more due to impacted mental health issues as a result of struggling with no support and a regression of autism traits and coping abilities.
