The poem, penned by an individual with autism, portrays Jim’s journey with the condition. It highlights his struggles with sensory perception and communication, but also celebrates his ability to find joy and learning in his own unique way. The poem emphasizes the importance of love, support, and understanding for individuals with autism.
The post discusses the issue of people faking autism and its negative impact. The author, who is on the autism spectrum, emphasizes the importance of a professional diagnosis and highlights the misunderstandings caused by fake claims. They also share personal experiences to shed light on the realities of autism and call for an end to such behaviors.
This blog post talks about the confusion that arises from misunderstanding selective mutism and regular mutism. It clearly states that selective mutism is an independent diagnosis and not a part of autism. It explains that the difference between selective mutism and regular mutism is choice, as people with selective mutism have no choice, while people with autism have a choice to speak but may not because of developmental delays, sensory overloads, difficulties in processing information, and/or social anxiety. The post also highlights that the confusion arises due to the usage of the term “selective”, which in the UK is replaced by “situational”, which means the same. The post also briefly touches upon the stigma and discrimination around the terms high functioning autism and Asperger’s syndrome, highlighting the differences between the two.
