Autistic mice

It looks like this is my first post. My aim is to write about how I, as an autistic person, communicate and how I see the World.

We, autistics may benefit more from research focused on improving our communication (or on neurotypical communication with us) instead of some other, not very helpful things, like:

– Mosaic mutations – don’t ask me what that is – but they play small role in autism only and are difficult to study, yet scientists are not giving up.

– Mice that lack CNTNAP2, a gene linked to autism, behave in a similar way to autistic people. Do they listen to music through their headphones, like me, and create crazy, full of patterns designs on Redecor?

I really think like we could do with some changes. And, anyway, if neurotypical scientist study autistic people, shouldn’t we have autistic scientist who study neurotypicals?
