Thank You

Hi Matthew

I applaud your efforts. I think that you on your way to making a great contribution towards people understanding the ASD spectrum better

A few things that stand out is that you do not have many details. For instance, when You say what is common in Asperger's... You gave two examples, examples that most people are familiar with already - so not any new information being provided. Listing Black and white thinking mentality, or the "all or nothing" mentality would be good because that is not understood by many not on the spectrum. Stimming and need for routines is another good thing to mention.

I think you should put your focus onto the little understood aspects of the Spectrum - things most people have to dig to find information for.

I am sorry of I came off with a clumsy delivery of my feedback. Thank you for sharing!

do you know any other facts I can add?

I can add content at most times
.

Added stimming and black and write thinking

Excellent

I will go check out your changes... I will bookmark your site so I can see your changes over time too

I like how you added the changes - you do have a small typo, but that is easily fixed

Black and white (not write) thinking...

As for other things you can add, there is rule bound thinking, catastrophic thinking, Truth Bound thinking, and Perseverative thinking and rigid thinking and also perfectionist thinking.

If you google these things there are sites that will explain these areas in problematic thinking in depth. Don't be afraid to open a text editing program (one that especially corrects typos and grammar for you) and copy and paste this content into your document and look at it while you type your website content. That way it is right there in front of you to use as an aid. Then you can copy and paste what you wrote to your site.

I am sure you know how to google, but just in case, I will put an example how to google easily what you want to find - asperger's thruth bound thinking OR autism rigid thinking

Hope that helps! Keep up the excellent work!

currected word
and
added rigid thinking

My view of Autism and Asperger's? A computer that's wired up a little differently and with a specialized OS that's self-tweaked instead of making a copy and utilizing it on yourself.

One reason I thought the "In crowd" was a center for stupidity. I'd rather be myself than what others want me to be.

need advice on my attempt at autism awareness wiki post:

You need to explain what things like meltdowns and stimming actually are.

Two things to add:

1) Under "things to remember..." you could add, "May be very slow to take hints. Requires step-by-step, clear directions."

2) Under "sources" you could add "personal experience and friends"...

Good work so far!

With 1, I would suggest adding "specific" for directions.


There are more on the spectrum than "classic Autism" (which your description is of a LFA) and Aspergers. There is HFA and PDD-NOS for example.
