Amazon characterizes it as "notes on autism & autistics in a neurotypical world".
Maybe it should be under "General Autism Discussion" or "In-Depth Adult Life Discussion"? |

I would not've wanted my genes adjusted to erase the Autism.
Yes, the Allistic world is stressful for me but I've done reasonably well. Better than many NTs. |

Welcome to WP! I hope you find pleasant interactions here.
My recommendation is to remember that many of us here are also Autistic so be patient with us. And if a discussion isn't patient with you that does not mean you have to leave WP, just move to a different discussion. |
