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?

    [quote]Are you saying it is pointless therefore trying to educate people about the difficulties people on the autistic spectrum have with social communication/environmental perception? [/quote]

    Well, no - it's always worth trying.  It's just that I believe few people are able to understand or empathise with something they don't experience themselves. 

     

    you are right, it took me a good few years to get close to understanding the sensory issues my partner has and how its actually his brain that is the cause of this, not him and not his psychology

    most people, even nts, have a real problem empathising with or understanding things they cant SEE

    this is why more needs to be done in education of what autism is, the brain
