Autism is not a disease, there is no cure nor a need for one. Autism is a natural neurological difference. Instead of "destroying autism," let us focus on creating and sustaining conditions and environments for autistic people to self-actualize and be themselves.

What is your favorite sensory toy?

Stimming is very important for the health of Autistic people. Most importantly because it allows autistic people to center themselves and cope with extraneous sensory environments. Since non-autistic people may not have the same reaction to these sensory environments, they often see stimming as disruptive, and while some stim behaviors might even go as far to be destructive, most arent and ppl need to let autistic folks stim.

It's ok to not have spoons

It's really important that the more independent autistic people among us learn about all autistic people before they act as a representative of our community. What I keep seeing is people with what was once called Asperger's speaking only about the experiences and needs of people like them.
