Autistic Community Links

A repository of links about autism that doesn't only include information about the medical/disease model of autism spectrum disorders, like the majority of search results in Google. Emphasis is on acceptance and inclusion. The group is open to autistic people, parents of autistic children, professionals, and others who are interested in adding knowledge about autism and the autistic community. All links are publicly viewable and searchable.

"It takes a lot for a neurotypical person to understand someone who is highly autistic. NTs are good at understanding each other--but their theory of mind gets in the way when they try to understand those who are not like them. They're bad enough at understanding Aspies--think how much worse the connection gets when they try to understand someone who doesn't use language! [...] The biggest thing, I guess, would be to somehow teach NTs how to listen to low-functioning autistic people--because once an NT can listen to someone without prejudice, they almost automatically begin to connect, to empathize. After all, connecting with each other is what NTs do best; if they can learn to connect with autistic folks, the autism-rights battle is all but over."
