Meaghan Answers My Questions About Autism

What would you like to name your blog?

Autism from the inside out.

Why do you want to have a blog?

To teach people about how autism feels from the inside.

What is the worst thing about having autism?

People do not think that we have thoughts and feelings of our own. They think that we are stupid.

'What do you want them to understand?

That we are just as intelligent as they are and every bit as smart.

Why do you stim?

Because I can't control my body. My mind is a slave to my body. I really don't want to do half the things I do, but my body makes me.

Should we listen to every word you say?

No. I repeat myself because my mind takes a long time to process information. It is easier for me to respond with rote nonsense than to try to figure out the right thing to say and then try to figure out how to say it.

So... your repetitive speech?

Just ignore me when I am talking nonsense.

But if we ignore you, you get hyped up?

Then you should help me to change the subject.
