Welcome to yourautism!
This website has been set up as a place for neurotypical people to reflect on autism and aspergers syndrome.
Neurotype is a term used that refers to people without a diagnosis of autism or aspergers syndrome and unless they are family members, partners or friends, or the general public, they often hold paid positions to 'look after' people with autism or aspergers syndrome. This is who this website is mainly for - those in paid positions.
Neurotype core difficulties can include being unable to read the thoughts and feelings of people with autism or aspergers syndrome and often create chaos by poor communication, poor planning, poor social skills and can often get distressed when routines are changed. How to spot one? If you are smiling you may already know how to.
You can get neurotypes that have a greater emotional intelligence where the core difficulties may not be so pronounced. Those neurotypes with a greater emotional intelligence are the ones to follow and also learn from.
Thanks go to Tom Gray who kindly agreed to let me place his very informative article (and photo) on here.
