We, me certainly included often b***h about stereotyping of Autism, but Rebecca Burgess did something about it and did it well. Thank you Rebecca.

I like it. Sometimes I think the neurodiversity stuff gets a bit whiny and unrealistic.

This one, though, is spot-on, descriptive, useful, and a reasonable request.

Definitely gonna share!! !

I'm defininitely showing this to my dad! One of the first things ge said when I "came out" to him was "I should take you to a casino to count cards like Rain Man." Along with plenty of similar comments.

this is a cool visual description!
i imagine the spectrum as dimensional with multiple planes (like a CAD design), which seems unnecessarily complex compared to this circle chart.
thanks for sharing
