@youronlyone@autistics@actuallyautistic@autism IME, "Autism awareness" ends with the awareness that Autism exists. Nothing about how Autism actually presents in the world (especially among marginalized folx and women), how it feels, how an Allistic person might interact more effectively with their Autistic coworkers, family members and friends ...
"I’m autistic," I say. A brief pause ensues, a furrowed brow from what I can see from the mirror, and then an unexpectedly humorous response: "Is that like a professional auto driver?"
Thoughts based on Michelle Garnett and Tony Attwood's article on "Autistic Flourishing" and how we, autistic adults, can thrive in this life without changing who we are.
