I am not autistic. But many of us here read Barry’s blog to learn, and to be more effective allies. The next 2 entries on his blog are informative, as well.

As I’ve mentioned on my blog, I am (self-diagnosed) autistic. Thank you for sharing this Ali. I guess I am adding another subscription. 😘

Barry gives good information. He writes/speaks straightforwardly. (I’m thinking he speaks as he writes.)

Neurotypicals expect speaking to be done in real time – something I don’t do well at. I have an array of prepared sentences that I can use in day to day communications, but if a conversation goes off script I flounder. Writing is not time dependant, at least not to the same extent. That gives me time to convert my thoughts (which are not word based) into language that non-autistic people can comprehend.

And thank you for that-I like to know things about people. I’d presumed speaking flowed the way your writing does. I’m glad there is a medium that works for you.
