DOES THIS HELP


IsabellaLinton, I did not have problems seeing the image, but I thought that was a very kind thing to do. Resourceful and smart, as well.

Can't see the image, can anyone else see it?


yes. it says "He doesn't look autistic.'
'My apologies. Luke, would you mind doing an autism for the lady please.'

to everyone's horror, Luke then proceeded to name every train ever built"


Readydaer, I would say the same thing for you. Helping to solve problems... thank you.

I sometimes wonder if "preconceptions" and "stereotypes" are the way people deal with the lack of experience or knowledge, or maybe a little knowledge. We have have a little knowledge or awareness about something and make general conclusions. When I type "We" I mean as people, in general.

See? I have a little knowledge or awareness, and am making sweeping conclusions. So I should shut up now. (That's my way of letting you know that I know I'm an idiot. Otherwise, I would delete this post. GASP! That should be my signature quote!)

This thread seems to crossover with the thread on Ableism.

No problem, and I think you've hit the nail on the head. That's also why racism exists.
