I did not like it, and here is why. It really pointed out our hypocrisy. Just go with me for a minute and please don't be offended. When I lived with an NT I got it, how they felt. This article is telling people to accept our loudness, rudeness, lateness, dropping appointments, getting into peoples' space, being offensive, etc and yet when THEY do it, WELL, MAN, I HAVE AUTISM----ACCEPT ME!
NTs have feelings, too. We hate it when people touch us, are loud, mess up our schedule and are rude to us! But somehow we are supposed to elicit their compassion and understanding.
My close relationship with that NT showed me a lot because they really loved me, but all that was NOT ANY EASIER for them to accept and tolerate than when they wanted to touch me or dropped a pan or whatever and somehow it was more wrong for them to do and less demand that I accept them! Always accept me but never me accept them
We met in the middle and it worked-----but then they cheated and that was the end :-( But my point is, I REALLY got it, how the same behaviors are the same behaviors and hard on them, too.
