Part 102: Eye of the Beholder

August 28, 2022 ~ Autistic Writer ~ 1 Comment

Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. I've had a tricky week. Last Saturday I went for a walk around the Waverley lake area of Rotherham. It turned into quite a long walk, and I hit some difficulties. To explain why, I have to backtrack quite a long way… I've talked regularly in this … Continue reading Part 102: Eye of the Beholder

Along this journey, as my understanding of autism issues has developed, I have changed my mind about some things, and tweaked my opinions on others. This is a natural part of learning and growing as a human being. Any contradictions between my older blog posts and newer blog posts reflect this learning process.


I cannot and do not claim to speak for all autistic people. There are many of us, and sometimes we disagree. That's okay. I welcome debate on the points I raise. For most, if not all, of the issues I discuss on my blog, my opinion is generally in line with the overwhelming majority of views in the autistic community. But ultimately, unless I'm quoting undeniable objective facts, this blog is my opinion.
