Education is the best thing to counter stigma.
That’s what all of my writing has been about. Sharing what our lives are actually like so people know the truth. And who better to tell it…
… than autistic person who naturally tells it like it is?
Indeed. It is true. Since we are analytical in our thinking, we are naturally inclined to tell the truth simply because it makes sense to us and wouldn’t be lying to make someone feel better.
That’s why we are notorious for oversharing. We’re unfiltered.
When you say understanding, are you recently diagnosed or just not as familiar with being autistic as those such as myself who have been engaging with other autistic people to know more?
