Date: 2021-02-17

Hey everyone, NeuroRebel here, and there are a lot of things you should know about Autistic people, but  I've narrowed it down for you. So stay tuned.

1. Each Autistic Person is Unique
2. Autistic people often have sensory processing differences - sometimes referred to as SPD.
3. Calling Autistic People Low or High Functioning isn't helpful
4. There is NO CURE for Autism. Autism is a lifelong difference.
5. Vaccines DON'T Cause Autism
6. It's not just little boys who are Autistic.
7. Autistic people are known for hyperfocus / not being able to let things go.
8. Autistic People don't always communicate in the ways that neurotypical people do.
9. We don't lack empathy - some of us feel too much.
10. Meltdowns suck - WAY MORE for the person having them then for the person watching them.
