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?

    I think we need to be careful about typecasting, for people with aspergers are just as capable of being greedy and selfish as are so called 'neurotypicals'. Likewise, neurotypicals can be caring, sympathetic, generous and accepting. We are really all individuals, first and foremost, although  we share a label and by definition have a great deal in common. But we must not let our shared experiences and commonalities obscure our unique aspects. It is a glib statement, but it is true that no two people with AS are the same. Sometimes I might have more in common with a non-autistic person than I do with someone who has AS.
