Understanding Autism | 5 Ways the World Works Against Autistics

What are some challenges of everyday life on the autism spectrum in a neurotypical world? How can we improve this in 2024? Many parts of daily life seem to work uniquely against autistic people, and today I'm going to break down just a few of those that you might not think about regularly. I also offer some quick and easy ideas for how everyone could help make the world a bit more autismfriendly.
