"Autism Is a Spectrum" Doesn't Mean What You Think
- bell-cot 3y agoWhat human mental condition is not a multi-dimensional, shades-of-gray situation, which varies over time? Cripes, even the normal human fixation on vast oversimplifications probably works that way...
- emayljames 3y agoFrom lived experience, Autism doesn't change over time. To the outside observer, they may get that impression, but what that really means is the Autistic person is just masking very much to their detriment. Just because they hide it, it doesn't mean it has changed.
- emayljames 3y agoThe intention is good, but I find this visually lacking, as really the Autism spectrum is more like a wheel shape with each section higher or lower, independent of each other section. My Autism profile doesn't fit the authors diagrams as they wrongly show it as linear (even though that wasn't their intention).
