I simply think... meeting me halfway would be, trying to learn my language.<br /><br />It would be not assumping that what you need for a basic comfort level, is what I need for a basic comfort level. It would be not assuming that this world is made for neurotypical people and we just have to change to fit in to it, or suffer the overwhelming feeling, shutdowns, etc.<br /><br />But, also, it would be trying to learn my language. I have to struggle to speak the language of words. If people can take some time to learn to speak the language of my body, my hand movements, my positions, my non-verbal sounds, then maybe, we could talk in a more even way....<br /><br />--swanblood on TumblrAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147438406266555027.post-20611986836526567472011-07-31T16:43:11.242-07:002011-07-31T16:43:11.242-07:00MEETING US HALF WAY IS SUPPORTING THE SPACE PROGRA...MEETING US HALF WAY IS SUPPORTING THE SPACE PROGRAM SO WE CAN GET OUR OWN PLANET.buildingmoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935261710881092437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147438406266555027.post-12680185782802462152011-05-29T08:14:34.090-07:002011-05-29T08:14:34.090-07:00What is sad, is that Jim Sinclair talked about &qu...What is sad, is that Jim Sinclair talked about "building bridges" and doing it together those of us of all the neurology types... but after all this time we are still at the point where people still think it's up to autistics (and often other disabled people) to make all the effort.<br /><br />I have had the luck to meet people, a lot of people who are ready to make their part and meet halfway, so I know it's possible.<br />I have benefitiated from it.<br />So I am sad to read that it's so rare.Ole Ferme l'Oeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07632467869395776084noreply@blogger.com
