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 :-)

  • I think the hardest thing to get ones head around is that the only constant is change, whether thats imposed from outside, how our attitudes, like and dislikes change over time, to changes in the weather.

    I dont' think it's only ND people who suffer from imposed change, everyone does, sometimes its good and sometimes not and sometimes it dosen't make much of an impact.

    At all levels we are subject to the change of entropy every minute of every hour of every day our whole lives (the aging process for example), so it is really counterproductive to fight it - learn to find positives to look into, find ways to bring the best of what we knew before with us and embrace it.

    It is a bit like a roller coaster ride, you can scream with excitement, wave your hands in the air and enjoy the thrill of it or you can cling on in fear and dread, hating every moment of the ride.

    Both ways you still get to the end of the ride in exactly the same time but one is fun and exciting and one isn't. It is all a state of mind and unlocking the ability to find the fun in life is a game changer.
