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 won't believe integration is not possible. A world bereft of difference does not interest me. Understanding and awareness is frustratingly slow but not stagnant. We perhaps need to consider who adapts to whom.   A less "noisy" environment might well be desirable to many and better for all.  

    If you're willing to look hard enough, autistics are easy to love. The bad days are heartbreaking not unlovable. 

    I don't believe we have a model of education that works well for a lot of children.  Are huge secondary schools conduisive to learning for anyone? Does the autistic child simply recognise this more acutely?
