Bonjour/Hello

probably just as much undiagnosed in the uk.... the uk only started taking mental health seriously and diagnosing things within the past 10 years or 5 years even. before then there was nothing, no help, no care, perhaps farther backward any obvious case were sent to mental health prisons and electrocuted. so one can argue it was worse here than france only a few generations back. we used to torture people with mental health issues, then we did nothing and opted to ignore them, then only recently we are seemingly diagnosing and helping, probably because they noticed how big a blow to the economy and workforce mental health issues are if ignored.

Unfortunately, France is a country wedded to the theoretical approach, rather than the empirical. Having swallowed psychoanalysis in its entirety, and the theories behind it, the French medical establishment finds itself unable to understand that behaviours can have neurodevelopmental roots. So while recognising that autistic behaviours exist, it seeks to explain them by inappropriate methodologies. My sincere condolences to everyone with undiagnosed autism in France - around 700,000 people.

hor hor hor le bonjour monsieur.

hor hor hor je maise de la choceur!! je not knowe le francaise bery bery much sa la vie senpai.

Coucou Fleur,

My mum’s side of the family are from the south of France. I’m autistic and blind, and I know how hard it can be to be misunderstood, including for cultural reasons. I’m sorry you’re feeling this too. I also love music. I’m always happy to chat if that would be helpful, and we can speak in French if you like :)

Bonjour!  I'm sure you'll find friends here and have a good time chatting with others.

Je vais très bien, merci. I have not created a new page recently, but I tinker with many pages and reverse vandalism. If I could think of a suitable subject for a new page I would write one. I enjoy collecting references and then composing the text, I can get very absorbed in it. I was a research scientist before retiring, so I like using my skills in a hobby area, such as history. My favourite is probably Byzantine history, but I wrote a number of articles, published in online and printed journals, on Napoleonic military history a good while ago.

All people considered disabled in Poland can't get jobs available for everyone, so the alternative is jobs ''sponsored'' by goverment paying employer to hire disabled, except employed gets paid half and is expected to work the same if not harder than ''normal'' person.

I believe those modern action movies can be a nightmare, those with effect over effect and no plot, like mission: impossible, it's waste of time to watch them

I'd rather watch some comedy or sci-fi TV series, or if I find something that would be in category of historical fiction if it was a book, like Rome or Resurrection: Ertugrul TV series

My favourite  Louis de Funès movie is La Folie des grandeurs, I think I watched it a hundred times already  but I don't speak french, so subtitled,

most of my life I believed I have no affinity towards languages, the teachers at school convinced me to think that, but I'm finding out recently that is not true,so maybe one day I'll learn french

Merci! 

Poland sounds like it needs more rights for autistic people. That sounds so unfair being paid half like that. I wish more people knew of and understood autism. 

I love history! It's amazing to think how different things used to be and how different everywhere was. The middle ages was an interesting time I have quite a few books on the middle ages.

Oooh that does sound an interesting watch and like it will be kind to my autism. I find a lot of things hard to watch way too much noise and things going on.

Omg no way!! Me too! :) 

Merci! Comment allez-vous today? :) 

I think I've already met some very friendly people today. 

Your pages on wikipedia sound intriguing. Do you still do this? You should look at doing it professionally. I've written about The Lost City of Atlantis for an article and I enjoyed that so much. I love your interests, mine are much the same. Do you have a favourite?

I hate hospital. Worst place to be for me.

Hello and welcome

I don't think it's as bad in France as it is in Poland, back in my country of birth even if I got the job I would have been paid only half for doing the same as non-autistic

I like history too, recently I had a dive into Middle Ages but looking at it from perspective of the other side of conflicts - Turkish people, it's highly entertaining to realise that they used to picture us Europeans as devils, the same as our church depicted them

Turkish cinematography created 500 episodes long TV Series ''Resurrection: Ertugrul'' about creator of Ottoman Empire, their national hero Ertugrul, very well made, presenting XIIIth century in Turkey before Ottoman Empire was created. 

Netflix link https://www.netflix.com/watch/80127002?trackId=255824129, I would recommend watching it, nice music, horse riding, bow shooting, scimitar fighting, politics

I almost forgot to add, that I'm a big fan of Louis de Funès

Bonsoir! Bienvenue sur le forum. I hope that you find some friendly people here. Strangely, I have created more than 30 pages on the English Language Wikipedia, mostly historical. My major interests are: the Byzantine Empire, Ancient Greece and Rome, Medieval Europe, the English Civil War and the Napoleonic wars.

Hospitals are very distressing places for autistic people to be in.
