Hi everyone,

I wanted to share this cute poster I found on Pinterest. It talks about how to make friends with autistic individuals. (It refers to children, but I think older people can learn from this too.)

I know the text is hard to see, so I’ll put it below:

HOW TO BE A FRIEND TO SOMEONE WITH AUTISM

Take the Initiative to Include Him or Her

Your friend may desperately want to be included and may nos know how to ask. Be specific about what you wonchim co go

Find Common Interests

it will be much easier to talk about or shor something you both like to do (movies, sports, music, books, TV shows, ete).

Be Persistent and Patient

Remember that your friend with Autism may take more time to respond than other people. It doesn't necessariv mean he or she isn’t interested.

Communicate Clearly

Speak at a reasonable speed and volume.

Stand Up For Him or Her

If you see someone teasing or bullying a friend with autism, take a stand and tell the person that it's not cool.

Give Feedback

if your friend with autism is doing something inappropriate, it’s OK to tell him nicely. Just make sure to also tell him what the right thing to do is becouse he mov not know

Remember Sensory Sensitivity

Your friend may be very uncomfortable in certoin situations or places (crowds, noisy areas, etc.). Ask if he or she is ok.

Don't Be Afraid

Your friend is just a kid like you who needs a little help. Accept his or her differences and respect strengths ust as vou would for any friend.

I hope many of you find this helpful.

Friendship

What an autistic person says: "How long is it going to take?"

What they mean: "I want to know whether to activate my short term waiting mode where I just wait and do nothing else, or activate my long term waiting mode where I occupy my mind with something else. I fully understand that both are possibilities, and I have no problem whatsoever with either one, but I want more information so I can best adapt to the situation."

What neurotypical people hear: "I am impatient and demand that everything I want happen right now. Please scold me and publicly humiliate me for it."

I’ve finally finished it. I’m fucking shaking, its been like 4 days of just nonstop working and sleeping for this. QSMP what have you done to me.
