I think people who are neurotypical don't honestly get what we Autistics are asking when it comes to us asking to be accommodated to and I feel it has to do with the brainwashing they to over complicate and over think things.Like I don't think us who are Autistic are asking a lot of people, yeah there are things beyond our control, like the other day I went to a reenactment and they had some loud noises with guns and cannons going off which was a sensory overload for me.I mean for me to have a function relationship with me is simple:
How is stuff like this hard for neurotypicals to conform to just so I can function? What about anyone else? What is it that you need accommodated that neurotypicals don't seem to understand?
In as much as I am just as guilty of the following: generalizing is dangerous. My best NT friend is well read on the subject of autism and we both enjoy reading the MSD5 and making jokes with it. She worked with ND people when before she retired so she can understand me better. Another good friend still refuses to think of me as ND even though she, herself presents as ND. So it is hard to generalize. who knows how broad someones understanding is till we talk with them.
Do you mean the DSM5?
Oh yes thanks, yes. I sometimes scramble letters. autocorrect catches most of it. DMS5 got it. If you ever read one of my missives before autocorrect you would be looking for a code breaker.
agh! DSM5
