I am Autistic, I am not a stereotype!

- July 08, 2024

I am not a stereotype.

I am Autistic.

Yes, I am white male.

But, not that young anymore, so not fully fitting the media stereotype.

I am also not a Savant.

I have key interests and areas I am good at.

I prefer saying Type 1 to Aspergers (in light of revelations about Hans Aspergers work with the Nazis who are the opposite of all I believe in).

No, I do not have any particular known additional learning disabilities.

I am Socially Anxious and a shy Introvert.

I am not a superhero, although I do follow one!

I am not the result of vaccines or refrigerator parenting.

I am not void of empathy.

I am a highly sensitive empath who cares deeply for a fallen world.

I am a bit quirky and a gentle soul.

I am who I am.

I am Autistic.

I am not a stereotype.
