Eine Community zum Thema Autismus-Spektrum.
Postet hier gerne alles mögliche rein, was zu dem Thema passt:
- Berichte, z.B. Alltagserfahrungen, euer Weg zur Diagnose, etc.
- Probleme
- News
- Memes
- usw.
Auch, wenn Autismus (und andere Neurodiversitäten) oft Probleme im Alltag verursachen können, sehen wir diese Andersartigkeit nicht als Krankheit, sondern nur als Ausdruck der menschlichen Diversität, die es zu schützen gilt!

For me, it's two things.
First, it feels immoral and wrong. My ego doesn't allow that, or else I think I'm a bad person. It's a black and white thing for me.
Also, neurologically, the mirror neurons usually don't work right on autistic people. That's why we often have difficulties with empathy. But that also means, that sometimes, we kinda have the feeling that the person you're speaking to can "read your mind", even if they can't of course. But, at least I, then think that it's super obvious that I'm lying, even if it isn't, and I get super anxious.
It's hard to explain.
But social interactions in general are fundamentally based on manipulation, both intentional or not. Being anti-manipulative or radically honest just breaks social norms and is hard to deal with for neurotypical people 🥴
