    I'm Autistic and we don't need nor Want Fixing. But it's hard to be a part of a world that you weren't Programed to understand or be a part of. That wasn't made for you. It's the world that needs to Accommodate us Not the other way around cause we were not made to accommodate it. Autism has been called the Wrong planet syndrome because that's how we can feel. Sensory Overload is hard but can be managed. What we need first and foremost is acceptance Full Acceptance in the world to be our fantastic Autistic Selves. To put it into perspective Autism is not a broken hard-drive it's a different operating system. A mac to the world's P.C. That's all. Also we don't have Special Needs just needs particular to our disability. I love being Autistic I wouldn't have life any other way. I don't know any other way. The SPD and so on I can do without though. However that's not Autism it's just Co- Occurring.

    It sucks when people think that autism autimatically equals being unable to talk to others or getting breakdowns every 10 minutes.
    I just post on reddit about how i think that i suck.
    To be honest, i've never had a breakdown.

    Autism isn’t the same in everyone people need to understand that autism isn’t a disease or mental health it’s seriously not that hard bringing up a child with autism depends how badly they have it and Ollie doesn’t have it bad he just gets upset easily there’s things autistic people don’t understand there’s things that people with learning difficulties don’t understand but there’s also people without disabilities that don’t understand and people don’t fully understand autism and learning difficulties facts 🤷🏽‍♀️

      Agree there are levels to this but I'm shocked at how you have worded some of what you said.
      "people need to........health." this is wrong. Very wrong. And the following lines are questionable. But I get what you're trying to get across.

      Do you have an autistic child? I can tell from your comment that you don't. Therefore you've no right to state that it's really not hard to bring up an autistic child, you simply can't comment on something you haven't experienced. If you don't have an autisic child then you have no idea what it's like. & also 'how bad they've got it' What an ignorant comment. It all depends on the individuals traits, other diagnoses and where they may be on the spectrum. Educate yourself on autism before making such idiotic comments.
