@pathfinder @misaimed_brain @autistics As so often Kevin I am struck by how wise you are. I think a key is a great symbol as far as my experiences go as the realisation unlocked a huge understanding for me. But if there's one thing I've learnt, it's that if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person. That, I believe, is lost on well-meaning allists.

@callunavulgaris @misaimed_brain @autistics Obviously not all allistics are the same. But I do think that the sheer degree of difference between individual autistic's is something they just really can't encompass. It is so far outside their experience and expectations of how people are and does indeed make it difficult for them to understand us, even if they are truly trying to. Although to be fair to them, even those of us who are coming to this much later in life struggle with this one at times.
