I hope some day the cores of so called singular condition can be traced.. and fractured just to appreciate individuality.

This is a good source for autistic adults who were recently diagnosed: https://autisticadvocacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/WTTAC-Adult-FINAL-2.pdf

I found this site: https://www.healthguideinfo.com/autism-pdd/

There are hundreds of articles on different aspects of autism. Some are summaries of scientific studies while others are discussions or advice or possible therapies. I usually go to the end of the article and click on the references and track down what those are all about.

By itself, a web site saying that "This is how it is" isn't particularly authoritative. (I don't care how "reputable" the web site is.) However, you can get a good idea of the veracity of an article by looking at its sources. I can usually tell from a study's abstract whether it was well designed and if it supports the claims made.

I found these videos on youtube by the national autistic society, I thought they were very good at showing reactions of people on the spectrum and being able to see through our eyes;

Autism: National Autistic Society - Part 1 (morning commute) - YouTube

Autism: National Autistic Society Part 2 (misunderstanding) - YouTube

Latest NAS awareness film highlights transport anxiety - YouTube

Autism: National Autistic Society Anti-Bully campaign video - YouTube

Great list, thank you
