DivergentDumpsterPhoenix, 10 months ago to autisticadvocacy People wrongly assume that Autistic people are asocial or anti-social. In my book "The New Normal" I make the case that we are AuSocial with our own cultural and social practices. Here I expand on that a bit further. https://emergentdivergence.com/2023/08/16/ausocial-towards-an-understanding-of-autistic-social-culture/ @actuallyautistic @autisticadvocacy #actuallyautistic #autism #autistic #ausocial #social #communication #thedoublempathyproblem #neurodiversity #neurodivergent

KitMuse, 10 months ago to actuallyautistic My poll on how welcome you feel in autistic spaces as an #actuallyautistic person has ended. Only 43% feel welcome. A whopping 41% have felt unwelcome some or ALL of the time. 16% provided comment/nuance trending toward the 41% and offering reasons. Seriously. We have GOT TO DO BETTER. We're failing, especially Autistic Elders. I have blog posts perking on this and will share when I have energy. @actuallyautistic #Neurodivergent #autism #community
