Time to change perception about the relationship of autism to change?

Phased

I'm increasing fed up with autism having a tag "resistance to change" as being a problem for autistic people.

My observation is that the effects of change by human society as a whole are making the world an increasingly unsafe place to live.

Changes that favour a small number of people over the majority are the norm.

What's so wrong in wanting to feel safe by analysing the risks?

Maybe autistic people need to be more vocal collectively about this?

This thread might be a stimulus to do so :-)

  • It sounds like you are describing Capitalism.  Most of the issues are to do with inequality, people wanting more than other people. Not happy when they don have what they want all the time. Its not a safe world for people who are trying to make sense of their own experiences. The risk in civilised countries should be minimal, but the above is making everything turn on an axis.

    With autism I think that preparing to go out is difficult, if there are added threats then it/they are avoided. Monotropism I have been reading about lately as its something I do a lot, putting almost all ones eggs in one basket, even if one way works is never good only in the short term.
