Dr. Holly E.A. Sutherland @heasutherland.com · Nov 5 Theme 3: Autistic people put a lot of effort into accommodating nonautistic preferences, but nonautistic people are bad at accommodating autistic preferences. This is unfair and upsetting. Nonaut ppl often think they’re being empathetic to aut ppl but are not.

Theme 4: There are lots of nice things about being autistic! Aut ppl are good at honesty/authenticity; can be clear & empathetic communicators; don’t stereotype; experience autistic joy with other aut ppl via monologue-based convos, co-stimming, word/language games etc.
