Arent we all on the rainbow
@Kuronekko I think that’s a good point as much as I celebrate and love the community life is harder then it needs to be in a lot of ways with NTs typically unwilling to meet us half way. Have you read about the “double empathy paradigm”?

@Notladylike ive just looked it up. I definitely feel as the majority of people just don't understand the concept of autism. Its a huge barrier to get through when you feel you have to explain and sometimes defend yourself to others so that they will even try to understand.
@Kuronekko It’s such a validating piece of work. Like we do have empathy, emotions etc. it’s just communication differences
