Autisme : critères diagnostiques du DSM-5

Je suis autiste et cela n'est pas « exactement » ce que vous croyez... Je suis autiste et cela n’est pas « exactement » ce que vous croyez... par Miss Titi, du réseau DÉesCAaArticle du 16 mars 2012 Ailleurs, partout dans le monde sauf en France [3], c’est un trouble neurologique qui se situe au niveau du sillon temporal supérieur.

Je suis autiste et cela n'est pas « exactement » ce que vous croyez...

Malheureusement, partout sur Terre, le problème est abordé de l’extérieur. Par les conséquences de ce trouble neurologique mais jamais (ou presque) par sa nature. Parce que nous ne sommes pas crédibles en tant que « fous », vous n’écoutez que les témoignages qui vont dans votre sens : comme « type de personnalité », ou « manière d’être » ou encore, pour les plus en retard d’entre vous « TOC », « dépression », « psychose infantile »... Moi, il se trouve que je ne présente rien de tout cela [4]...

Pourtant, je suis autiste. Mon gros cerveauun papa à gros cerveau (et merveilleux, comme tous les papas de petites filles)la culture de mon merveilleux papa où les cotés différents d’un autiste peuvent passer pour de l’originalité...

Syndrome d'Asperger – le webdoc. Radical Neurodivergence Speaking: "forgiving" people who aren't sorry. Not gunna happen. This has been the theme of this past week or so, and an intermittent theme of my entire life thus far: some person or group does something shitty to me, I am angry about it, that does not change because the shitty people don't care to make amends, some random, usually privileged asshat comes by on their high horse and tells me to forgive the original shitty person/group/whatever.

Radical Neurodivergence Speaking: "forgiving" people who aren't sorry. Not gunna happen.

Radical Neurodivergence Speaking: How my language happens. (or: I'm not as articulate as you think) One of the ways people try to tell me I don't count is to tell me I am so articulate.

Radical Neurodivergence Speaking: How my language happens. (or: I'm not as articulate as you think)

Yes, That Too: Ableism is to blame

I saw a girl post an apology for the fact that she has autism, that she will never be what her parents want her to be. I responded to her with the usual message of it's ok, it really is, autism isn't the end of the world. That was for her. This is for me. This is why things like the AutismPositivity flash blogs are needed, this is why things like Loud Hands are needed, this is why Autreat and Don't Mourn For Us and Autism Acceptance Month are needed.

I’m Pretty Sure I’m an Unfriendly Autistic

Yep. I’m the person who actually wants society to enable their weird behaviors and isn’t going to let allistic supremacy get in the way of my self-determination.

Just preface everything you say with "this only applies to me, of course" or "I'm quite high-functioning, but," apologize for existing.

Bad autistics demand to be treated as human. We want and demand more than that. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Because science.

Radical Neurodivergence Speaking: Indistinguishable from peers means: you don't have autism related problems. If you are declared indistinguishable from peers, which, as you may recall, is basically an educational diagnosis, people mistake this for not being Autistic any more.

We Don't Need a Cure for Autism – And Pushing One Is Really Messed Up.

I used to want to cure autistic people. I babysat for an autism support group and listened pityingly as parents described how hard it was to have a child on the spectrum – thinking nothing of the fact that those children were right there listening. I begged my mom to take my autistic sister, Caley, and me to an autism cure event, ignoring the fact that my sister herself wasn’t interested in doing so. Later, I went still further and led a fundraiser at my high school to raise hundreds of dollars for Autism Speaks, an organization that pushes for a cure for autism.
