We are reluctant to respond to endless baseless claims around autism, but we also want to express our determination to fight for the right path for autistic people. That path means focusing on what matters to autistic people and using research evidence.

Dealing with this discourse at a time when we desperately need to work on building a better future for autistic people is not just frustrating; it is disturbing.

Autistic people can be great communicators and deep listeners. What’s tough? Small talk, vague language, or chats with no real substance. Before assuming someone’s not keeping up, ask: is your story just... boring? #IndividualsNotStereotypes #WAAM

Small talk can be unbearable for some autistic people, but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy socialising with others. Instead of small talk: - ask me about my hobbies - my thoughts on a topic - my experiences - or my special interests. See us as individuals, not stereotypes.

We’re tired of stereotypes. Whether it’s our relationships, careers, or day-to-day interactions, outdated myths and assumptions continue to hold us back. For #WorldAutismAcceptanceMonth, we want you to see us as individuals, not stereotypes.

Autism isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each person is unique! By making misinformed assumptions, we miss getting to know the real individual. This #WAAM, see autistic people as individuals, not stereotypes: autistica.org.uk/get-involved/i…
