That is correct.

I can provide firsthand experience for what happens when monotropism with employment decisions isn’t accommodated (PTSD, suicide). I can explain how our natural analytical thinking can lead us to box ourselves in logically to see no way out. I can also discuss how long-term trauma caused by, not in the least, not being diagnosed or aware of being autistic for years of our life, can cause serious damage to our mental health.

All my writing here, on Medium, is free to maximize public awareness. As an autistic advocate, I’ve paved the way for more of us to understand and discuss toxic topics, like suicide, so that more people can know why and not shame us into silence to perpetuate ignorance.

Neglect does not solve problems

Problem-solving solves problems.
