1. Autism and the “world of autistic people”: in summary, refers to everything that characterizes autism and autistic people.
2. The main objective of the Autistan Diplomatic Organization is inform the public authorities of the countries, so that they better understand the needs and difficulties of autistic people, with the aim of a “Accurate Consideration of Autism Everywhere”, allowing the “Accessibility for autistic people exposed to disabling situations”, in order to reduce the “Socio-Generated Disturbances (sensory, mental or other)“.
Our organization is “extranational”, she does not “interferes from outside”, it offers complementary contributions thanks to a very broad approach, diverse and different, which allows very useful comparisons and reflections to improve public policies.
3. Autistic people do not suffer from “autism”: they suffer from the consequences of the absence of adequate consideration of autism everywhere e, therefore, the absence of public policies and measures that allow accessibility through the reduction of these external disturbances.- 4. For that, It is essential to start by understanding that “autism” (which is a human difference with many qualities) is something different from “autism disorders” (that are just problems, objective or subjective).
- 5. Autistic people must be able to “learn about non-autism” in order to live adapting to it, BUT without conforming to it, i.e., without being “forced to become non-autistic”, for the specific qualities of autism must be preserved and the many dangerous social flaws and pitfalls must be avoided, in particular that which consists of creating self-esteem through “possible judgments by strangers”, which forces a type of “dictatorship of social image”, forcing people to “shine” (what is absurd, superficial and particularly toxic for autistic people).
- 6. It is imperative that autistic people are not harmed in their interests or endeavors (beyond the minimum rules of conduct), what are not exposed to restrictions, overprotection or deprivation of liberty because of his autism.
This is unfair and, Above all, prevents any positive development.
The positive development of autistic people is only possible if they can follow “your own path in life”, which is inevitably not a common path, and which will be favored by an unlimited multitude of possibilities, choices, chances, experiences, encounters, adventures, travel etc., and not the opposite: the restriction and barrenness of a life that is even more limited and restricted than that of most non-autistic people (which is very “standardized and robotic”).
For this reason, It is imperative and essential that PARENTS of autistic people are “educated about autism”.
- 7. Freedom and experimentation are, therefore, essential, and understanding these principles (among many others that we can explain and demonstrate in detail) is indispensable if society wants to allow a better life for autistic people: more free, fairer, most accomplished, with the same level of possibilities and chances as non-autistic people, in other words, one “real life”, dignified and happy.
- 8. This would be possible if the autistic people who can explain these things were listened carefully and if public authorities made an effort and understood that the necessary modifications were not abusive: they are corrections that benefit the entire society.
Try to attract attention and explain these things convincingly with examples and evidence from the “real life”: This is the sole purpose of our organization.
