• ‘You can’t be autistic’ a poem by Kit Foxworth

  You can’t be autistic, that’s what they will sayWhen you finally find the courage to speak up one day You can’t be autistic, because you’re a “girl”As though boys are the only ones who belong to that world You can’t be autistic, because my neighbour’s nephew’s friend isAnd you’re nothing like him, after all, he’s…

• If people don’t follow your guidance, do this

  Pleasie 🙂 Just a quick post as I’m rather tired. I am aware that some autistics complain that other people don’t listen when the autistic comes up with a great idea. It is sometimes difficult to know what to say for that – it can sometimes be our fault and the idea may not be…
