Think differently about autism - Part 2 (misunderstanding)

The exact same thing happened to me when I was at a speed dating event at St. John's University in the fall of 2005. I was accused of being a pervert when I was trying to make out a lady's name on a piece of tape, which happened to be near her chest. So I can understand how that guy felt.

In my opinion, the receptionist is the one with the learning difficulty. When I went to college the 3rd floor of 7 was where they had classes for people with autism; a girl in my class used to refer to them as the "floor 3 retards". She could learn a lot from these videos. As for me, I have Aspergers and can often see the world through the eyes of someone with and without autism.

people need to be more patient with kids/people with autism. I have a son who has autism and its very hard for me to go the store with people that stare at him when he rocks. Anyone who has a son/daughter with autism and could help me to understand my 5yr old son?? Im so very scared about his future.

its society in general that got a prolem

society hasnt got a clue about how to deal with autism

my daughter has autism, and I often have to remember the 2 step rule. Im a fast talker and I have to slow down and only give her 2 things to do at a time. I must be a blur to her sometimes. I also have to wait for her to process what I asked her, and be patient for her answer.

They can't hear well in a place where many
people talks ?

Its not that they cant hear, its that they can't focus on the meaning behind what people are saying. Their mental processes overpower the incoming sound and therefore it is sometimes experienced as a lack of hearing.
