AutisticAdam, 
It's come to my attention more recently on here that some people are saying, "that's not autism"
This is incorrect and is just different for everyone.
Whatever it is to you, remember that others may have different views from you. Their views or experiences isn’t wrong and neither is yours.
Let autistic people describe their experiences how they see fit, not by how you say they should be because of how it is for you.
Thank you.
