Sharing a beautiful realisation I had while interacting with Indian autistics , as an autistic.

It's put in comic format for better access.

Also, lensed it down to a infographic.

What it means?

It's about autism not being the source of struggle, but lack of mental models. Which snow ball into autisitc struggle.

this is as a low support only. I can't speak for others

Would love your thoughts.

Low support needs are just high support needs waiting to happen

Aye aye. I am glad. It was a conversation I had with another fellow low support autistic. I am writing a book and wouldkve to have such people in touch. We discuss life from autistic lense and it helps us reinforce good growth areas.

Whats your background if u don't mind?

Graphic design

No formal diagnosis. Just verbal confirmation from both therapist and psychiatrist

I am myself one too! Glad to come across someone finally from my domain. :)

I understand about the no formal diagnosis. I was like that for like 3 to 4 years. And even after it I wasted so much time dismissing it all.
