Autistic social differences. Purple spider diagram title...
We all know the phrase ‘deficits in social communication’ which forms the first part of the autism diagnostic criteria (which I think is a horrible phrase). I prefer to think of these as differences, BUT these do create challenges and social stuff can be very confusing.

My job is a hundred times better than school ever was and I enjoy life much more now than I did then, so I have no idea what those people who said ‘school days are the best days of your life’ meant.
If I’m hungry now, I can eat and don’t have to wait until a specific break. If I need the loo, I can go. If I need to stand up and walk around, I can. If I’m overstimulated, I can go outside for a bit. Unless in meetings. But in general, there is much more freedom and autonomy.
Maybe my response to school of hiding in toilets and running away was actually rational. Maybe the anxiety I felt was because the school environment is so unnatural.

Research suggests that 9 in 10 autistic women have experienced sexual violence, with over half being 15 or younger when they experienced this.

Safeguarding autistic young people is essential. And teaching consent, boundaries and healthy relationships is so important.
This is the research article for this statistic, showing the two to three times greater risk of sexual violence for autistic women compared to non-autistic women.

This is a brilliant book by @CarlyJonesMBE on safeguarding autistic girls.

Functioning labels are often used to describe autistic people in terms of them being ‘high functioning’ or ‘low functioning’. It’s important that we understand why this is unhelpful and can be harmful. - a thread. 1/10
An autistic person’s functioning varies from day to day, even hour to hour. Placing them into a binary of low or high functioning doesn’t really make sense, when this can change. For instance, one day the individual may be able to go to work, socialise… 2/10
…and complete most tasks without much support. The next day they might have a meltdown, need support with remembering to eat and drink and be unable to leave the house. It can vary. 3/10
