#Repost @undercoverautie (@get_repost)・・・Functioning labels are very reductive and are largely based on how ‘normal’ an autistic person appears to a neurotypical person. Most autistic people have been directly or indirectly taught to hide their true selves. So how can someone else know what’s going on inside? Or what you’re like when you’re not being observed?.It can be more useful to describe someone’s specific needs, eg: she is highly verbal but very anxious, or, he is non-verbal but works and lives independently..If you’re autistic, what do you think?How would you want your needs and differences to be described?...#actuallyautistic #autism #asd #neurodiversity #neurodivergent #neurodiverse #autistic #autisticwomen #aspergers #functioninglabels #highfunctioningautism #lowfunctioningautism #autismspectrumhttps://www.instagram.com/p/BqM3q1sFGQzBXr1ISd5ZUwt_kdKfXJCT4J3uoQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=140qzi8ru6rq7 -- source link
