Confusing

Amy

Hello

I am very sorry if this is just me but I find that this site is very complicated and confuses me as do many online sites.

I have autism and I would expect that a website for people with autism should be made so that autistic people can understand it. I do not know if anyone else has this problem too but I think this site should be made a lot simplier.

  • That's good, the way you have what I have said in there too. I hope I have worked out how to do this correctly.

    I sometimes get the feeling that the NAS isn't actually for us, the people on the Autistic Spectrum, but rather appears to be run largely by, for, and to meet the needs of, neurotypical parents and carers.

    I deffinatly agree with you there. I have never thought about it like you have but noticed it however seeing it written like that I really know what you mean. I think I can explain why this is though. From my very limited knowlage about autistic people the 'steryotypical' (I hate to use that word because everyone is affected differently) autistic person is a young boy who is unable to speak and understand the world. Often young meaning under 10 and someone who is lost in their own world. 

    I therefore think that this person would be unable to use a computer or any website and maybe their is no point in making it something he could use. But, as we have proved not everyone who is autistic is like that. I deffinatly feel in the minority as someone with autism on the national autistic society's website! I know I am always too logical but no-one can tell me that now.

    Hopefully that makes sence. I really struggle to explain things.
