Post #4313573

From the late diagnosed/realised autism blog. It is a long read with some suggestions for wording at the end. “Autism and Predictability: Why Routine Isn't Rigidity The message arrives at 4:12pm: slight change of plan. Nothing has gone wrong, and your whole evening has just been quietly cancelled. Why predictability is infrastructure, not rigidity, and what it actually costs you when it goes.“ —— “Rigidity is a word from the outside Notice who ever uses it. You have almost certainly never described yourself as rigid in your own head. The word arrives from somewhere else: a report, a performance review, a partner in the middle of an argument, a parent thirty years ago. It is a word for describing a person you are watching, not a word for being a person.“ https://www.heyasd.com/blogs/autism/autism-and-predictability #ActuallyAutistic #autism
