    Great point--strength comes from shared authenticity, Belonging is not fitting in! Vulnerabilty is our bridge. Autism is creating a bigger belonging!! The One . . .in the Many. Without the many . ..no One. Keep challenging those stagnant. spiritless shallow ways of acceptance. Feels like you found the jewel in the dragon's mouth.

    Hi
    Your video has been published for a few months now, but its content is important for the diffusion of the topic you are addressing, that is, the autism spectrum.
    It’s clear that this syndrome began to be studied in the first half of the twentieth century and, since then, little attention has been received by the scientific community, at least with the depth and systematization that it deserves. It comes from this circumstance that there is so little knowledge and dissemination (therefore, understanding) of this theme in the society in which we live. It’s, as well, this lack of knowledge and transversal awareness that is at the origin of the situations in which people discover, later than would be desirable - sometimes, after long periods of unexplained suffering -, that something "different" is going with them.
    In your video, you talk (very well) about some displays, practices and experiences, which can characterize the way of being and feeling of people who are within the spectrum. Let me propose a 'minimum common denominator' for all of them (and for many others more), trying to find, in this way, their original genesis: the spectrum of autism, in its different degrees, results from an absence of tools for track, measure and evaluate the relational function - it is precisely the variation of this relational capacity that must regulate a specific graduation within the spectrum. It’s this “lack of tools” that is difficult to explain and, above all, to make understood, not only for the common person (outside the spectrum) but, likewise, to the subject ('autistic') himself/herself - who, very often, apprehends their relational constraints at an advanced stage or ends up never identifying them. Simplifying almost to a caricatural level, we could exemplify the 'burden' of the aforementioned instrumental omission with someone (not being a child) who takes off all his clothes in a garden full of people and dives into a small lake there without actually having the ability to understand that his/her act can hurt the sensitivity of these people. Explaining very clear: as hard as it is to imagine, this protagonist doesn’t even have the capacity to discern the impact that his/her actions can have on others - he/she lacks the 'codes', the 'passwords', that allow him/her to access that understanding. Imagine now what it is like to live this way - without the ability to interact with others in the same 'wave performance' - for some or long years, with the emergence of these dysfunctionalities. Imagine also the degree of suffering that results from it. It’s within this framework that, in same way, we must understand and interpret what is often described as a preference for the self-isolation from 'autistic' people: in fact, this isolation has happened since the ‘original bubble' and extending or even intensifying because whoever is within the spectrum is faced with reactions from others that, for them, are unexpected and that occur, precisely, because they have no idea of the communication codes commonly practiced in society.
    As will have become clear, this is a set of situations with great complexity and that deserved better attention from everyone.
    However, let us not be patronizing or overhanging those on the autism spectrum. In fact, we’re talking about people who, also due to their relational limitations, end up having an unusual willingness to develop a thematic reasoning and intelligence capacity that is far superior to normal (so-called) people - which, through sheer ignorance, has been largely underutilized.
    Take care.
