Communication
Sep. 2nd, 2021 03:38 pmSo, are there any real, non-parody guides or even training for how to communicate effectively with autistic people?
( disclaimers )
I'm not sure if it's even legitimate to ask this, but if you were able to change something about the way I communicate to be better for autistic people, what would you (want me to) change? Do you know of any resources aimed at teaching non-autistic people to do better, that use a neurodiversity type model and centre autistic people?
*Note on terminology: I have some autistic friends who insist that the opposite of 'autistic' is 'allistic', and some autistic friends who find 'allistic' offensive and strongly prefer 'neurotypical', and both those views are completely valid but I'm going with 'non-autistic' as the least-bad compromise for how to describe myself.
