There’s times I second guess whether I’m qualified to be writing about autism at all (simply from my own experience), due not to being an expert in the field of research. Then a so-called expert says this and I realise it’s all okay! Thank you, Uta!

Leading expert says ‘anyone can have autism now’ as she claims spectrum is too broad

Professor Dame Uta Frith said social media could also be spreading ‘simplified or misleading ideas’ about autism

If you read fiction and you don't like AI you're a hypocrite. If you eat monster munch and don't like asbestos you're a blacksmith. If you play videogames and don't like stubbing your toe you're a submarine captain. We can all just SAY things. It's not hard.

We're autistic when someone wants to scare people about our existence and use our autism to claim we're not able to make sound decisions. We're non-autistic attention-seekers when we need minor changes to the environment or how people want to interact with us.

autism was mega stigmatized and now autism is noticeably less stigmatized by comparison to how it was perceived before This is one of the major reasons that more people are publicly discussing being autistic nowadays
