    How to help my mom with results of my diagnosis?

    Hey guys! I'm 21 years old girl and got diagnosed with autism in November. I was getting ready for diagnosis for almost 6 months until I decided to finally risk. As therapist said, I don't fit in all traits and I seem to be neurotypical, yet she also said that I'm in the spectrum, but because of...

    My husband (who has early-stage Alzheimer's) and I are active at our local senior center. We attend exercise class three days a week as well as other events. I try to smile warmly at others in our exercise class and say good morning, even though I don't know most people's names. My husband...

    How do you feel about NTs?

    I read a blog recently that is written by an autistic about NTs. It is a tad patronising to NTs, but FAR less so than any article written by NTs about aspies, which always contain phrases like 'symptoms' and 'diagnosis', like it's a disease that needs to be managed. However, the blog raises a...

    Neurotribes and Neurodiversity

    Ok. There is a lot of specialized vocabulary in any one group. In the autistic circle, we have stimming and spoons and so on. Some words come from the doctors that have watched over us. Other words come directly from the community. Like, "neurodiversity." This word was made in the autistic...
