| I get accused of microaggressions all the time. I also get reprimanded and punished a lot for other people's assumptions of what they think I am saying or doing even though they are completely wrong in their assumptions |

| I am struggling with an issue that some of you might be able to relate to. When I am completely overwhelmed, one of the first things to go is my ability to speak and to understand abstract verbal speech. To give you an example of a situation, today, I was trying to leave ski practice. I was complete... |

| How do they explain all the Autistic people who were never ultrasounded like those who lived and died before Ultrasound was invented or those who don't have access to ultrasound? |

| She said that the reason that me using the word "teach" in that context when I am talking to neurotypicals is offensive is because it implies that I know something about the topic and that they don't know anything about it. And that is offensive and condescending to them because it implie... |

| So, here's a new one. I was talking to an nt about myself and about how my Autism affects me, and she got offended. I told her that I wasn't trying to offend her but that I was trying to teach her this. She then told me that my choosing to use the word "teach" in this context was condescen... |

| Helping people break down problems is very easy for me and I do it naturally. I know a lot of Autistic people who are the same way. We should be careful not to generalize by saying something like Autistic people aren't as able to break down a problem to help people understand it as easily as nts can... |

| Just for fun, let's invert the question: "Can You Understand A Person On The Spectrum As A Poet?" I don't understand what you mean by that. But I have written magnificent poetry and many other Autistic people have as well. Perhaps a slight rearrangement would help? "Can You As A Poet... |

| I think you hurt her ego, so she reacted that way. Maybe "having an ego" should be part of DSM-6 (diagnostic manual) :D But your response was understandable. A lawyer who deals with disabled people should be more sensitive anyway. She has to learn. And it's often hard to be stoic (more or... |

| The first and last time I did jury duty, my biggest problem was that I had a hard time controlling my laughter because the case was so stupid and ridiculous. A rich white lady was driving her car with her poodle in it and noticed a tick crawling up her leg so she stopped where and when she should no... |

| I think some of us can be good teachers and some of us can't. Teaching is very different from most ordinary social situations. For one thing, a teacher has much more control over the situation. For another, the interaction is much more focused than, say, party chitchat. For at least some autistic p... |

| Hi! Can people with ASD become good teachers? I understand that it is not black and white, ie ot is probably more complicated than a yes or no answer. I ask this because I am at a place (for people with ASD and ADHD) where they have a music teacher with ASD. I thought he would be great for me but s... |
