    Autism shows in very different ways in each person. It’s very, if not impossible to define it with traits and characteristics.

    But, we can acknowledge it’s a different way to experience the life, the environment, and a different style of mind. It’s a valid neurocognitive functioning variation.

      I like that way if thinking of it. I’m a big supporter of story based education so we can actually teach others with this idea.

        It’s a progressive (after European definition) view of autism. You can find it in the works of schoolars like Monique Botha, Robert Chapman or Damian Milton. All three are autists.

        Autism isn’t reserved to the medical domain anymore. In fact, the research are moving to sociology (double empathy problem), anthropology and philosophy (story based education) as the day to day issues of autists are social and cultural rather than medical.
