Collectively as autists, and as a wider society. We need to stop assuming/pressuming other people's ability to function and support needs. Especially online. We are all strangers. Nobody here really knows what it is like to live our lives when we step away from the computer. What we tell people here is just snippets and the basis of absolutely nothing anyone else can say or prescribe with anything other than a faux qualification. Especially the assumption that someone's ability to communicate in a text based format means they do not go or are not in fact nonverbal irl, or has any bearing on the other areas of their life.
That's really it. That's the post.
Thanks for pointing this out! Good to see you posting again.
Only on and off tbh, I've still got a lot going on irl. But good to see you're still here too. :)
That’s ok, that’s the entirety of the purpose of this space, just post when you want or are able to.
