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

Phased 2 months ago

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 :-)

I do often joke though when spending on card I don’t use cash becuase I don’t like change and tj be fair as long as I have weeks or months or on rare occasions days notice can be ok

Being given notice of a change is important for me, too. I think it goes back to things being predictable. If I'm given enough time, I can predict what may or may not happen and slowly integrate that into my overall model of the upcoming situation. Then, when the time comes, I don't have to think about those things consciously, as all that thinking has been done ahead of time. I can just focus on the one or two things that I need to focus on. My monotropic brain can handle that.
