I don't know how to frame this

For most of us, "cure" sounds exactly like "kill the person you are, but animate your body with some alien force." For most of us "prevention" sounds exactly like "genocide".

    These pages I would like to show do not all describe me. Some of them seem to, to a degree of vague familiarity. Especially the earlier ones. I still would like to share them.

    Being talked around rather than to

1. Walking While Autistic
2. Autistic Superpowers: Invisibility [This of all is most familiar to me]
   
3. Bridging the Gaps: An Inside-Out View if Autism

    If anyone gets here through the Channel 4 segment

1. And People Still Fail to Get It, Again and Again
2. That Conference Presentation I Won't Make (But Want To)
3. To the Kit Weintraubs of the World
4. Why I Am Angry
5. You Have It So Good
6. A Reply to the Initiator of the Hear Their Silence Rally [Quote comes from here]
7. Input needed now (archived) [... this one included for completeness, since I am outside context]

    Reading a lot of the later ones makes me feel I must have been misdiagnosed. *shrug*

I know it wassn't intended as such but that quote could equally well apply to transfolk.

This is all so sad. There is just so much misunderstanding in the world. Esp. with things that affect everyday socialisation and make the person 'different' in that respect.

Hence my leading with it. ^_^
