    I was diagnosed at 49. The damage to my mental health has been well and truly done.

    damn. That actually got to me. I cried watching this just because this woman could put things into words that I've been trying to do for years. Changing that negative language to positive whilst i understand for outsiders it might not change much, really made a difference for me. I grew up with a toxic idea of autism. I was diagnosed because my mother thought i was strange so took me to be diagnosed at maybe 8 or 9 and from then on I got treated like i was strange with all the "extra support", which quite frankly was just patronising. The descriptions i would get of autism were all negative and depicted a heartless individual, unwilling to compromise so i hated myself and tried so hard to be different from that definition to my detriment. I'd constantly berate myself if i had a sensory overload, I felt run down, I had a bad social event etc. I just wanted to pass as "normal" and not be what I was told autism was.

    For me, with my praise to Rudy Simone’s Aspergirls, I am a proud Aspie with visual acuity and crystal clear memory as my super power!!

    This is such a beautiful group of thoughts and it would benefit all children and many adults also. Thank you.

    Could not agree more, autism is not a disorder nor a syndrome these are very offensive words to an autistic person. Freedom of speech. I can’t but help remark on a comment that Professor Attwood said to the audience at one of his seminars that autistic people can’t differentiate between the word hot…..as in quote to look at or feel hot or cold with the entire audience laughing. As an autistic person to hear this is exceptionally insulting. Of course we know the difference. I hope this message gets back to him. Excellent speech.

      I wish you could watch this, it’s excellent. Could you tape a piece of card or something temporarily over the figures?
