The Questions of Being Autistic: What Any Self-Respecting Autie Should Be Asking Themselves

Part of what it takes to be a mature, independent and self-promoting adult, involves asking ourselves some tough questions. The trouble is, autism can sometimes unfairly make this a little tougher – especially when the autie does not have the luxury of the same assumptions, life-templates or social instincts to rely upon.

It is to this end, that Ben Aadario has set-out an indispensable collection of questions, specifically with the modern adult autistic in-mind. It is the definitive list of queries, to help guide spectrum-dwellers towards meaningful and rewarding introspection.

Making Space for Autism: Strategies for Assessing and Modifying Environments to Meet the Needs of Autistic People

This accessible, strengths-focused approach to supporting autistic people across different areas of their life reflects a paradigm shift from one where autism is treated as a deficit or impairment to one of positivity, acceptance and autonomy.

Historically, there has been an expectation that autistic children and adults should conform their behaviour to social norms, with strategies and interventions centred around navigating spaces and situations with minimal damage. This person-centred environmental assessment and modification programme moves away from this, instead providing information and tools for assessing and reflecting on features of the autistic person's environment to best support their comfort, autonomy and agency.

She Doesn't Seem Autistic

How could other parents understand

she can't regulate, can't dress, screams in wind?

Their girls touch down, their modules steady, small footsteps

breaking the moon-sand's surface, their milestones

cosmic miracles of the ordinary. We long

for their basic okayness, their assumption

that the whole team will walk on the moon,

get to jump, twirl in the applause, treasure the video.
