    Assumptions about autistic people

    Other people that I encounter have preconceived ideas about autism, that are not based in reality. They often react to our behavior or responses in interactions with others, and assume things that are not exactly accurate. #1. Don't assume I'm not listening because I'm not looking directly at...

    A Confusing Development
