‘Neural noise’ could be a hidden advantage of the autistic mind

But some research, including our own study, has explored specific advantages in autism. Studies have shown that in some cognitive tasks, autistic people perform better than allistic people.

Autistic people face ignorance, prejudice and discrimination that can harm wellbeing. Poor mental and physical health, reduced social connections and increased “camouflaging” of autistic traits are some of the negative impacts that autistic people face.

So, research underlining and investigating the strengths inherent in autism can help reduce stigma, allow autistic people to be themselves and acknowledge autistic people do not require “fixing”.

The autistic brain is different. It comes with limitations, but it also has its strengths.

How do you define the term, “Openly Autistic”?

* Is it an autistic person who rarely masks?
* Or, an autistic who isn't afraid and/or shy to share that they are actually autistic?
* Or, an autistic person who is active in the autism acceptance “movement” (if we can call it that)?
* Or, perhaps, an autistic who were interviewed and disclosed they're autistic?

Maybe you have other considerations or criteria that defines “openly autistic” for you?

---

NOTE: Being openly autistic is a choice and is _not_ for everyone. I think it is safe to say that we all face discrimination, stereotyping, and prejudice for being actually autistics, thus, most choose not to be open about it.

However, recently, there has been a slow growth in numbers of openly autistics, and like with most things in life, we have different criteria, definitions, and cultural considerations.

Thus, I am curious what _you_ think, personally or maybe your immediate environment or organisation, is an openly autistic person. Or, when do you consider one as openly autistic.

Again, this is not about if an autistic person should be openly autistic or not. ^_^

Thank you for your interesting insights!

A very good #quote from #굿닥터 #GoodDoctor.

I am still a little different from other people.
I speak and act a little differently.
So I tried very, very hard to eliminate the differences, but I couldn't do it.
The more I tried, the more it hurt.
So I thought I'd always be different until the day I die.

But many nice people filled in the gap for me.
And that is how I am standing before you today.
Thank you for filling in the gap.
Thank you for not avoiding me.
And thank you very, very much for your love.

Did you know there's an organization called the Association for Autism and Neurodiversity (AANE) which does online support groups for *adults* on the autism spectrum?

They do a bunch of other things too, but I want to highlight this. They run Zoom-based support groups for autistic adults. Even in 2023 such supports are next to nonexistent.

aane.org/services-programs/gro

AANESupport Groups - AANEAANE offers a wide variety of support groups specific to the identity of our community members. Support groups offer a safe environment where participants AANE's support groups and community connections provide a nurturing space for individuals and families affected by autism spectrum conditions.

When you're #Autistic you do look younger.

I voted earlier today. We have two, one for Barangay (Town) and one for Sanguniang Kabataan (SK or Youth Council).

The election rep handling the ballots asked for my ID because he had to confirm my age.

* SK (Youth Council) is open for 15 to 30 years old voters.

I look like I'm in my late 20s.

While he did not ask me for my age, better to confirm it with an ID to avoid election fraud, when people ask me, I used to say, "I stopped counting at 30" (now it's 28). It's half-joke, the other half is the truth, people do mistake me to be in my late 20s.

Many #ActuallyAutistics, for some reason, look half their actual age once we enter adulthood. I'm not aware of any scientific explanation regarding this, but it has been observed.

For me, this was not the first time. I was always mistaken to be underage (under 18) until I hit 25-27. It was always funny whenever I was with friends or colleagues because they all reacted. 🤣

It was a 5–10-year gap. Now it's a 20+ year gap. Maybe one day, there will be a 30-year gap with my actual age.

How about you? What's your experience?

So, this is what's happening to me: #AutisticBurnout

It describes it as:
“Autistic burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic life stress and a mismatch of expectations and abilities without adequate supports. It is characterized by pervasive, long-term (typically 3+ months) exhaustion, loss of function, and reduced tolerance to stimulus.” ~Raymaker et al, 2020

Typically the Autistic person in question will still have multiple demands in their life that require cognitive resources, despite having little to no resources left to give. Life goes on, as they say.

Lady A 🐾🎶😷

#Esittely suomeksi
#Introduction in English is right below the Finnish one.

🐕🐾🐈🐾🐹🐾🐈🐾🐕

Hei, olen Lady A. Nimi juontaa juurensa vuosien takaiseen harrastukseen Suomen keskiaikaseurassa (SCA), jossa nimeni oli Arianwen.
Eräs ystäväni tapasi kutsua minua nimellä Lady A ja se tarttuikin mukaan lähes kaikkeen virtuaalimaailmassa ja vähän muuallakin.

Harrastan mm. kirjoittamista, lukemista, elokuvia (fantasia , scifi, historialliset... ei kauhua.) tietokonepelejä, lautapelejä, metsäkävelyjä, joogaa, leipomista ja musiikin kuuntelua sekä pianon soittamista sen verran kuin omaishoitajan arki antaa myöden. Olen kolmen neurokirjolaisen äiti, kahden omaishoitaja. Omaishoitaja olen ollut vuodesta 2018 alkaen.

Kesäisin keskityn #puutarha'an ja #kasvihuone'eseen, joissa kasvaa kukkien lisäksi osa perheeni ruuasta. Talvisin on enemmän aikaa leipoa ja muutenkin viettää aikaa keittiössä. Keittiön nurkassa asusteleekin #taikinajuuri.
Tykkään omavaraistelusta ja itse tehdystä.

Haaveilen, että oppisin ompelemaan ja virkkaamaan paremmin. Neulomisesta en uskalla enää tänä päivänä edes haaveilla, se ei tunnu olevan minua varten. 😅

Minua kiinnostaa kovasti #ilmastonmuutos ja #luomu, #historia (etenkin #holokausti, antiikin Kreikka, Rooma ja Egypti sekä #keskiaika).
Lasten diagnoosien myötä kasvoi kiinnostus entisestään näihin: #AutismiKirjo, #ADHD, #TourettenSyndrooma ja #OCD.
Olen aina ollut kiinnostunut erilaisista epidemioista ja kulkutaudeista, joten luonnollisestikin myös #Covid19 ja #LongCovid sekä #H5N1 ovat mielenkiintoisia.

On aina mukava oppia uutta!

Minulla on #lukihäiriö, joten pahoittelen jo etukäteen mahdollisia kirjoitusvirheitä ja muita kummallisuuksia.

Perheeseeni kuuluu lasten lisäksi aviomies, mummi, koira, rescue-kissa ja 2 gerbiiliä

Hi, I'm Lady A.

I used to be part of the #SocietyForCreativeAnachronism (#SCA) and my name there was Arianwen. A friend of mine gave me the name Lady A and ever since then it has been my name in the virtual world and sometimes elsewhere too.

In my free time I like to write stories, read books, watch movies (fantasy, scifi, historical... absolutely no horror), play computer- and board games, and I always enjoy a stroll in the forest. I also enjoy listening to music and playing piano. Sadly my free time is a bit scarce since I have three special needs children.

During the summer time I spend quite much time in the garden. I like to grow flowers and vegetables. During the winter time I enjoy baking a lot and I have a keen interest in sourdough bread. I also spend time with my dog and rescue cat.

I'm very interested in #ClimateChange #OrganigFood and #history especially #holocaust #AncienGreek #AncientRome #AncientEgypt and #MedievalTimes.
Because of my children's diagnosis I'm very interested in #AutismSpectrum #ADHD #TouretteSyndrome and #OCD.

I've always been very interested in different sorts of epidemics so naturally I'm also very interested in #Covid19 and also #LongCovid. 😷 Now also about the #birdflu #H5N1

I love learning new things!

I'm #dyslexic so I apologise beforehand the possible spelling errors and other oddities.

My family consists of my children, my husband and the children's grandmother. We also have a dog (kleinspitz), a rescue cat and two gerbils.

I toot mostly in Finnish and in English but sometimes also in rusty Swedish and even rustier Germany.

Musta, kleinspitz koira makaamassa kivellä. Pää on kallellaan, katsoo suoraan kameraan.

Season 04 Episode 11 of Fringe featured the meeting of the two Agent Astrid Farnsworth, one an autistic and the other neurotypical.

This episode aired on 2012-02-04 and entitled “Making Angels”.

The autistic Agent Astrid Farnsworth came from the “Amber World” (the parallel world), and the NT Astrid is from the “Prime World” (our world basically).

The character is, I would say “basic” as far as portrayal of an autistic person. Some would say it's a stereotype. But I like her nonetheless because it was not exaggerated, and the focus was not on her autism instead it was about her many skills.

And in this episode, we saw through her that autistic people are humans too. That we have our own struggles, we do cry and feel emotions (contrary to the claims that we lack it), and we just want to live like everyone else.

---

The autistic Astrid was introduced in season 2 (2009–2010). The actress, Jasika Nicole, was praised for her performance of both the neurotypical and the autistic Agent Astrid.

How about you, what do you think of her character? How was the performance (specifically with autistic Astrid)?
