For me, autism is a talent and I hope to help society to see it as such. My work explores the futility in attempting to train autistic people to conform to neurotypical expectations without the understanding of the dynamics of their world. Intervention and autism treatments should focus on harnessing autistic talents and optimising the environment and communities’ perceptions. Awareness is raised and unconventional concepts are discussed such as: • Emotional Skin Deficiency (ESD) - challenges and benefits • Autistic perceptions - physical, visual, sound, time, etc • Emotional Hygiene for everyone • Multi-Level Communication • Nutritional adjustments in support of the internal autistic structure All efforts are directed towards a better understanding and changing the stereotypes, recognising autistic people as brilliant and much needed members of society.
