| By attending I meant just to be there and by being part of the training I meant co-delivering the training. I think 'being part of the discussion' as opposed to 'the subject of discussion' is the core difference, I would feel good to be part of the former and uncomfortable with the latter myself, t... |

| Unfortunately autism sensitivity training will encourage bigotry if autistics are still stereotyped as disabled. I am realising this... A better approach would be to consider autistics as an oppressed minority. Or that the disability is when difference (on both sides) is not understood or appreciated |

I think that I'd feel hopeful, mostly. Is part of the scenario that the team is going to be told I... |

| The obsessive character is closely related to anxiety, reduce any stress for him, the less likely that it will develop to be a problem. I'm sure you can keep a positive spin on this for him.

| [quote="Thelibrarian" As both an aspie and an employer, I can see both sides of this equation. Employers do need to consider aspies by looking past the weirdness, and toward what that aspie can do for the employer. At the same time, aspies need to train themselves to be as acceptable to the organiza... |
