"When you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person."
I'm sure that many of us have now encountered that little bon-mot many times already; true though it is, it is getting to be a bit of a cliche. So, after noting some of the interesting things that people pick out when we quote each others posts, I thought I'd start a thread to see what fresh, new, or rarely heard little aphorisms we could come up with of our own.
Here's a handful I use a lot to get the ball rolling...
- When you're fighting an invisible monster, first throw a bucket of paint over it.
- It's not being autistic that I find difficult, it's the pretending not to be.
- I'm not stupid; but I am slow.
- Autism isn't about what we do; it's about why and how we do it.
Anyone else have any catchy one-liners that describe being autistic to them? (Guaranteed upvote for any funny ones!)
