Do you want to know what it's like living with autism?

Ask me anything. Seriously! Or send me a message. I am on the spectrum and I am fortunate enough to have developed the ability to reflect on my experiences. I witnessed a lot of intolerance today so I want to talk about what life with ASD is actually like and what people who are not on the spectrum should know about it. No topic is too awkward! :)

I have a new friend who’s a savant and she does some things that I’m not really sure how to respond to.

I'm going to say the same thing here that I would say if somebody saw me stimming in public: it really helps me with anxiety, it's physically harmless to me, I will probably be a lot more anxious if you asked me to stop, and please don't stare :) You could also just ask! "Hey, are you okay? Can I do anything?" Asking why someone does something (without judgment!) will probably be super helpful. At least I would really appreciate it!
