"nothing about us without us" needs to extend to different autistic people within the community as well as between autistic and allistic groups. including autistic people with different symptoms or severity of autism is essential. you can't use any old autistic person to represent the whole spectrum. for example, if your group of autistic people are all speaking then they shouldn't be making statements on the non verbal experience, even if they are also autistic, because it's not about them, and it is without the people they're pretending to represent.

I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually

Gets you with my Nice!

12k now, there's a difference in the ratio now but still a close one. Wowsers Staff.
