Advice and understanding from a range of professionals in the field of ASD
A glimpse into the world of ASD with people who live in that world.
High Functioning Autistic Spectrum Disorder is one of the least understood conditions out there.
Partly because it is so high functioning.
They don’t look “different”
They don’t spout knowledge.
They aren’t “square” or obsessive.
They are not anti-social.
They learn to compensate for their struggles with their strengths.
Until one of two things
happens
Either they just can't do it anymore
The social nuances become more and more difficult to understand, the demands made on them become more and more difficult to follow and navigating the complicated world of emotions is just impossible.
And the entire facade crumbles, leaving you with a devastated person who has hit rock bottom.
And a broken-hearted family who have no idea where to go from here.
Or the people around them just can't do it anymore
And they get driven away from the people they love most. Their strengths and immense capabilities are pushed to the side as the spotlight focuses on their difficulties.
Marriages break up, adults are pushed out of their natural environment and parents feel helpless at the sight of their child’s pain.
You may have consulted, assessed and even diagnosed.
You may have tried everything under the sun.
And the bottom line is
YOU DON’T EVEN CARE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
YOU JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW TO HELP THEM.
But until you understand the way their brain works, you can’t help them.
And so the cycle continues.
The downside is that you can’t change someone’s brain.
The upside is that you can learn to understand and appreciate them.
