 For the first part of my journey, I wanted to get a good idea of how non-autistics viewed autism. To get a realistic view, I needed to interview someone with experience of autism. But it wasn't just enough to choose someone with formal training on supporting autistics. So I decided I would pay a visit to my taekwondo instructor, a new from previous experience that has trained many people both on and off the autistic spectrum. Hopefully I could get an idea of how autism appears to the general public, how people adjust their views, and some of the trials and tribulations they experience when trying to understand autistic people.
