ND People Are Not All The Same - Tumblr Posts

god i’ve said it before and i guess i will be saying it for the rest of my life:

the world is not divided into ‘autistic people’ who share your exact set of social and cognitive tendencies and ‘NT people’ who behave in a specific, different way to this.

Social tendencies among autists vary greatly.

‘Autistic’ social and cognitive tendencies are found in people with a range of ND diagnoses and in people with no diagnoses at all.

The widely-known-about set of ‘Autistic social tendencies’ are found to varying degrees in autistic people, including ‘not at all’ and ‘not at all, but I have some things that look similar that have completely different causes and solutions.’
