Let's do some rewording.
"Talks about things that no-one is interested in".
Reality:
"My own brain can only take in a tiny bit of information about a subject before wanting to move on. I blame this on the autistic person, who is actually specialising & learning their best way."/

"Autistic person fails to recognise my emotional response, therefore is Disordered"

Reality:
"I fail to recognise their emotional response also. But I blame both things on the autistic person, so I don't have to look at Double Empathy theory or adjust my own approach."/

"Autistic person is being bullied, therefore their social communication skills are rubbish"

Reality:
"I would rather not think about the potentially criminal behaviour and appalling social skills of the nonautistic child doing the bullying - I'll blame the autistic person." /

"Autistic person talks about lists of things, such as all the Capital Cities in the world - a clear sign of disorder"
Reality:
Every specialist on earth can tell you list of things.
Your Doctor can.
Your Accountant can.
Your Teacher can.
They might be autistic also/

As autistic people, we live in this entirely fictional world of 'deficit' that others have invented for us.

Or rather, we now refuse to live in it.

Get used to the refusal.

Example:
Last year I went to a Secure Unit (I refuse to refer to some of them as 'care' homes, because they're not).
In a room, a young woman. Room contents, a mattress, a blanket, a chalkboard, a piece of chalk.
Oh, and fluorescent lighting/air conditioning. Deafening/

/blinding environment. I recoiled from it. I'd have struggled to be in there for ten minutes. They lived in it all the time.
On the chalkboard, they'd written a list of their favourite places.
"See", said the Psychiatrist. "Clear evidence of the disorder - obsession." /

I was so excited to meet the autistic young woman. Lovely person. I wanted to know all about the list on the board. I wanted to know why they were in the worst possible environment for an autistic person.

I believe they are still in there, drugged and considered a 'danger'/

...because the Psychiatrist has a book, and in the book it says 'disorder', and that is the narrative we are forced to take on.
We can't be people who love data and need quiet and calm. That's not in the manual.

For sure she was sometimes very upset.
Wouldn't you be?

I'll ask that people take the time to watch and listen to @AQuinnUnbroken at https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=fr6BN4NRdpQ&fbclid=IwAR1I87Qe0TNiLYL_PiYPFQmpY1RIC5pWKEE2C4-QEAT3MC8Ei78bGmnKaOI who explains the power of that narrative to trap people in horror.
I'd also follow @JeremyH09406697 and @RightfulLives

Being clear - I work with a large number of professionals and teams who are highly respectful. Very keen to collaborate, so that we can turn places of horror into places where people can feel safety, security, respect, belonging and thriving.
All of us, working together.

Teams who are aware that around half of autistic people have lived through trauma sufficient to cause diagnosable levels of PTSD.
Teams aware that sensory overwhelm is very real for us.
Teams aware that autistic social communication & focus is meant to be different.

So if an autistic person is suddenly very distressed, they can think 'Ah, trauma?' and not 'It's their Nasty Autism - force them to comply'.
And if an autistic person is hiding in a dark corner with hands over ears, they can think 'Blimey, sensory heck? - How can I help?'/

And if an autistic person is writing lists of horses and lining things up, they can check that the person is happy and comfortable doing that, & go get a nice cup of tea - not spend the next ten years stopping them, and forcing them to be someone they're not/

Or if the autistic person is refusing to join in with an hour's socialising, in order to 'prove' they are 'cured' (!), they can think 'Quite right, too. Autistic people would find that overwhelming. Let's not use silly measures any more'.

Also if the autistic person is staring at the ceiling and looking distressed, they can think, "Oh no, fluorescent or dazzling lighting - or maybe they can hear the conversation in the room above this one' and think to move to a better sensory environment....instead of thinking/

/"Mmm, they must be hearing voices from above - that must be what it is - paranoid...er...wait...somewhere in this manual of mental disorders...."

The amount of autistic behaviour that is routinely misunderstood is breathtaking.

Give support where need.
Apply caring, always.
