an NT asking autistics what THEY want from us.....

some one

...what do YOU want to see neurotypicals do in society to help you adapt better , fit in, feel happy etc ?

what changes do YOU think will help do this?

I think you all deserve the chance to speak about this for yourselves rather than other people doing it, so individually and as a group what are changes you think are needed?

  • It is sometimes interesting to see how organisations perceive they should address our needs. I found this in a general search on the web and the url may be incorrect, but it should be possible to access via the Bournemouth University staff section www.bournemouth.ac.uk/.../asperger.html 

    By the standards of most universities this is an amazing amount of information, and while a lot of it is clinical and "text-booky" it is very appropriate advice for the most part. At the end there are fact sheets for how staff should approach students on the spectrum. I feel slightly like a zoo animal reading the public notice on the outside of the cage!

    But if you can access this, one way or the other, this is what university staff are being told about how to deal with students with AS.  It is fairly similar to what most universities are doing even if most don't set it out in as much detail on their websites.

    Also, although the context is university students, read it as a guide to people on the spectrum generally.

    How comfortable are you with what is being said?
