We have had an animation specially created to tell you more about our new campaign, Push for Action, which calls on the government and local authorities to help make sure all adults with autism get the everyday support they need.

We, the people on the Autistic Spectrum have a choice.
We can either try to "fit in" with the rest of society, or we can be so egocentric that we can't be bothered.
I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.

This is coming from someone in the States-

Why does the animation seem to show only England being filled in, with Scotland and Wales not being included?

Did your "Act" not apply to the whole of the UK?

I think Scotland and Wales does a lot of their own internal legislation.
