Autista e autismo

  • 1. Vou axudar is theworld of the autistic people”: in short, it refers to everything that characterises autism and autistic people.

  • 2. The main goal of the Organización diplomática de Autista is to inform the public authorities of the countries, so that they better understand the needs and difficulties of autistic people, with the aim of aCorrect Consideration of Autism EverywhereallowingAccessibility for Autistic People Exposed to Handicapping Situations“, in order to reduceSocio-Generated Disturbances” (sensory, mental or other).
    Our organization isextra-national”, it does notinterfere from outside”, it proposes complementary contributions thanks to a very broad, diverse, different approach, which allows comparisons and reflections very useful to improve public policies.

  • 3. Autistic people do not sufferfrom autism”: they suffer from the consequences of the absence of Correct Consideration of Autism Everywhere, and therefore from the absence of public policies and measures enabling accessibility through the reduction of those external disturbances.

  • 4. To achieve this, it is essential to begin by understanding that autism (which is a human difference with many qualities) is something different fromautism disorders (which are merely problems, objective or subjective).

  • 5. Autistic people must be able to learn about non-autismin order to adapt to it, BUT without conforming to it, i.e. without beingobliged to become non-autistic”, because the qualities specific to autism must be preserved, and the many dangerous social flaws and traps must be avoided, in particular the one that consists of creating self-esteem throughpossible judgement by strangers”, which forces a kind ofdictatorship of social imageobliging people toshine” (which is absurd, superficial and particularly toxic for autistic people).

  • 6. It is imperative that autistic people are not hindered in their interests or undertakings (apart from the minimum rules of conduct), that they are not exposed to restrictions, over-protection or deprivation of freedom because of their autism.
    This is unfair and, above all, it prevents any positive development.
    The positive development of autistic people is only possible if they can followtheir own path in life”, which is necessarily not ordinary, and which will be encouraged by an unlimited multitude of possibilities, choices, chances, experiences, encounters, adventures, journeys, etc., and not by the opposite: the restriction and aridity of a life that is even more limited and restricted than that of most non-autistic people (which is verystandardised and robotic”).
    For this reason, it is imperative and essential that the PARENTS of autistic people beeducated about autism.

  • 7. Freedom and experimentation are therefore essential, and an understanding of these principles (among many others that we can explain and demonstrate in detail) is essential for society to enable a better life for autistic people: freer, fairer, more fulfilled, with the same level of opportunities and chances as non-autistic people, in other words areal life”, dignified and happy.

  • 8. This would be possible if the autistic people who can explain these things were listened to attentively, and if the public authorities made an effort and understood that the necessary changes are not abusive: they are corrections that are beneficial to society as a whole.
    Trying to raise attention, and to explain these things convincingly with real life examples and evidence: that is the sole aim of our organization.
