Explanations on autism According to the Autistan diplomatic organization
You want to understand autism, But everything you have read or heard so far seems unclear to you, contradictory, and unsatisfactory.
We believe that most people who will read our explanations on autism on this page will have the feeling of finally understanding the essential principles of autism, and to know “how to think” To have realistic and clear ideas on autism, which is essential to better know how to do with autistic.
*E0* Previous and necessary reflections
- Almost all attempts to “explain autism” are wrong, because they do not understand the deep nature of autism.
- This is due to the fact that these attempts are based on a “non-autistic repository” who is perceived as “just” et “valid”.
- The best way to understand and explain autism, It is to use an autistic way of thinking, without being influenced by non-autistic theories and formatages.
- Non-authorities already perceive the absurd and dangerous nature of the current global social system, But they can't “get out of their boxes”, of their conventions and habits of thought, and they are trapped in a stronger illusion than they.
They sometimes perceive the illusory character, But they can't do anything about it, Because they are drawn into a kind of social whirlwind, and “compulsory thoughts” (as for example the idea that he is “OBLIGATORY” to communicate and be well adapted socially, and that otherwise, We necessarily have a psychological problem, which is an absurd idea, When you think about it for a few moments). - The feeling “Officially valid general error” generates a discomfort and a “social psychosis” general, that leads to fear of everything, fear of the unknown, Automatic rejection of people “different”, withdrawal in individualism, selfishness, Materialism, comfort, The enjoyment of material pleasures and illusions, which leads to productivity requirements, profitability, and standards of “security” higher and higher, guide public policies, in a way that disadvantages natural minorities (like autistic), and who, Ultimately, makes their lives more and more impossible.
- If we think in a way “autistic”, honestly, without taking into account beliefs and conventions “social”, We quickly understand that the non-autistic social system and “Socially acceptable modes of thinking” are wrong and in conflict with the natural laws of life.
- We also understand that the autistic characteristics and qualities are completely valid and interesting, But that they are in conflict with the social system, who is himself conflict with nature and with “what should be done”.
- And, and only if, We start starting from the principle that the modes of thought and operation “normal”, “socially acceptable”, are very questionable, and often very problematic, SO, only, We can start to be in a state of mind “compatible” with autism, And we can start understanding.
- For that, We must forget all the misconceptions, You have to get out of “social formatages” (which is particularly easy for an autistic).
- If you agree to try to think that way, in a way “logical and honest”, and to recognize the defects and absurdities of “non-autistic system”, So you will read our general explanations on autism with interest, in the following points.
- This page of autism explanations by autistic people, “source”, is an example of concrete realization corresponding to the “but” -G0500- (“Explain autism”) of our organization.
The information presented on this page is very basic, and they can be developed by means of various exchanges, communications and meetings.
*E1* Autism
- Autism is neither a disease, Not a re -assembly of “troubles”.
- Autism is a natural human particularity, characterized in particular by authenticity, the truth, purity, the consistency, harmony, rectitude, and resistance to alterations of these characteristics.
- Autistic people have qualities that are specific to autism (and that are not “social qualities”).
- Autism itself is a quality, since it looks like a form of self-protection and natural defense of humans against attacks, degradations, denaturations and dangers resulting from most artificial social constructions (Like social codes, conventions, thought systems, Material achievements…) who despise the original qualities of the human being, which are preserved among autistic.
*E2* “Autistic disorders”
- Autistic people do not feel the need or the obligation to communicate or be adapted to a general social functioning that they perceive, instinctively, as incoherent and harmful.
- Non-authorities believe that this adaptation is essential, and that it is proof of good mental health.
- These people therefore believe that autistic inadequacy is necessarily a sign of mental disability.
- What is called “limited interests” corresponds to the capacities of focus and wealth of the thought of autistic, And this is useful for their “special path”, to which they are entitled. But as these interests and passions are too unusual for non-autist, and that they are not able to do the same, So they believe that this peculiarity is a “issue”.
- In general, The way of thinking of non-autists means that they believe that everything that is not “usual”, standard, “normal”, compared to their social group, is something “bad” and sign of a personal psychic problem. This explains why non-autist, automatically, all possible efforts to be or appear adapted and “normal” (since, Unlike autistic, They judge themselves in relation to the eyes of others, who will condemn them if they appear “bizarre”).
- Some “Autistic disorders” are “troubles” Only from the point of view of non-autist, But not from the point of view of autistic.
For us, So these are not “troubles”, But autistic characteristics that must be respected instead of being discouraged or mocked. - Some “Autistic disorders” lead to real difficulties making life very complicated, in the current social system (Directed by standards, Constant social interactions, complexes and subtle, etc.).
These difficulties justify “learning”, from the autistic person, To find out how “survive” in that “artificial social system”, totally inhospitable for a “be natural”. - Suffering does not come from autism, nor “Autistic disorders”, But reactions of misunderstanding and rejection, from non-autist, unable to accept people “unmolished”.
- Suffering can also come from erroneous non-autistic conceptions and conceptions, Who, often, have the effect of feeling guilty and inferiorizing autistic, which sometimes leads to “obsession” (exaggerated and superfluous) to be adapted or to appear suitable.
- When an autistic deny or hides its autistic characteristics, This can cause a “handicap invisible” which prevents non-autists from making adaptation efforts. This encloses the autistic in a kind of “prison of the role of non-autistic” (obligation to play a non-autistic role), which can lead to interior psychological conflicts that can lead to suicide, especially when the autistic person believes “that the system is right”.
- Some autistic people present “troubles” typically “non-autistic”, which actually result from bad adaptations to ‘non-autism”, achieved autism (often with excess), Without really being able to understand the “justifications” of these adaptations (since, anyway, For autism thinking, they cannot be justified).
*E3* “comorbidity”
- The term “comorbidity” designates health diseases and problems that are significantly present in the autistic population.
- These problems also exist in people who are not autistic.
- These problems are therefore not specific to autism, And are not part of autism.
- Even if we could show that some of these problems could result from autism it would not be a sufficient reason to want “delete autism”.
- It would certainly be useful to find solutions for these problems, in general and without harming autism.
*E4* The handicap
- If we use the word “handicap” in the usual sense of “deficiency”, “default”, “lack”, “imperfection” inherent in the person, autism is not a “handicap” Because there is nothing that proves that autism (as we define it above in the point 1) would have a “defect or intrinsic error”, on the contrary.
- We use the word “handicap” in the general sense of “disadvantage” or “obstacle”, and not in the sense of “deficiency”, “default””, “disability”, nor with another point of view considering that people “normal” are necessarily “superior”.
- Autism itself is not a handicap, whatever the ways in which the notion of “handicap” (as above), more “the lack of correct consideration of autism by the social system” (Y-Made by the family) necessarily leads to many difficulties in autistic, which prevent them from accessing the levels of quality of life and freedom enjoyed by non-autist (whose social system defines and imposes rules which promote the majority and neglect minorities).
- This “lack of correct consideration of autism”, When she meets an autistic person, causes difficult situations, painful, hostiles, disadvantage, exclude and penalize the autistic : We can therefore say that it is “Socially disabled” by “deficiencies” general system.
- No handicap should lead to a feeling of shame or inferiority.
In the case of autism (whose lack of correct consideration leads to a social handicap), autistic people should logically be happy to be “disabled in relation to a social system which is itself defective, absurd and obvious conflict with the laws of nature”. - In other words, There is nothing wrong with being unsuitable for a society itself unsuitable for life (life as it should be, Without toxic artifices and illusions).
This corresponds to the phrase of the philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti : “It is not a sign of (Good) health, what to be (GOOD) adapted to a deeply ill society”. - It is very important to understand all of this, to stop considering autism in a negative and false way, and to decrease or remove certain mental suffering (feeling of inferiority and “have – or be – a problem”) of those of autists who discover autism through the erroneous prism of the usual non-autistic vision (and official) autism.
- Understanding these things helps a lot to reach the goal -g0300- of our organization (“Dignity for autistic”), And of course it also helps some of our other goals, for example by bringing our interlocutors to a state of thought allowing to understand autism correctly, et, SO, to make more suitable decisions, just, and non-defavorable for autistic.
- Of course we have problems, But these problems are not “deficiencies because of autism”, but “difficulties because of non-autism”.
- When we start to understand that, Even if we have a “issue” with the social system, We have no problem with the “natural repository”, and that the social system has a real enormous and serious problem of inappropriate nature, So we can start to see life positively, And we can start to decide our life, by being less influenced, deceived and victims of illusions and “Non-autistic disorders”.
*E5* THE “Non-autistic disorders” (or “Non-autism disorders”)
Important : Being a “non-author” does not necessarily imply to be “reached by non-autistic disorders” (and fortunately).
But these faults exist, et – by definition – They are not present among autistic (“non-socialized”), Hence their name “Non-autistic disorders” (or “Non-autism disorders”).
- The concept of “Non-autistic disorders”, Invented by Eric L., was exposed publicly by this, for the first time, in Almaty (KZ) the 12 FEBRUARY 2016.
(This concept is quite close to the concept of “syndrome neurotypique”, But it is more precise.) - This concept presents a voluntarily provocative terminology, which aims to encourage non-authorists to reflect on the faults of systems and conventions which they consider as “by choosing” et “just”.
- But it is not only a question of provocation and research to restore a certain justice.
Indeed, When you start studying “Non-autistic disorders”, We are truly frightened by their quantity and their severity.
Compared, The three or four small “troubles” Autistics, appear relatively insignificant. - This severity is one of the reasons that prevent non-autists from honestly and courageously reflect on their deficiencies “systems”. It can make you dizzy, and train a kind of blocking of thought.
- There is another important thing that prevents most non-autists from thinking about all of this : it is their “absence of autism”. Indeed, their thoughts including very influenced and dependent on social systems and conventions in which they live, And so they can hardly extract it to see things with the necessary distance.
- Seeing all this with distance does not require any effort for an autistic. On the contrary, This is part of our nature and our qualities, and we are constantly obliged to note the internal aberrations specific to the multitudes of “social systems”, which are all in conflicts between them (necessarily, Since each system is away from truth and natural reality).
(The annoyances and frustrations that we feel when you see all this, are examples of suffering that do not come from autism as a negative thing, as explained above). - It would be very long and tedious to exhibit the list of “Non-autistic disorders”, and the explanations showing how the cause of the suffering of autistic people are.
- However, some important categories can be mentioned :
- Non-autistic communication disorders
- Non-autistic disorders of socialization
- Non-autistic disorders of limited interests
- The non-autistic disorder of the incomprehension of autism
*E6* Naturalness, consistency, sensitivity, and attacks
- THE “damage” can be called “neurological assaults” since everything is conveyed by the neurological system of perception, and brain treated.
- We can make a distinction between neurological aggressions “sensory” (or “external”), and neurological aggressions “mental” (or “internal”).
- The damage can be sensory ; These are signals warning the person that something is incoherent, problematic or dangerous in the physical environment. This is not a question of “great sensitivity to sounds, with lights, odors, or touch”. It is a question of great sensitivity to inconsistencies (Who, ici, are perceived at the sensory level).
- The damage can be sensory and mental. Sensory disruption leads to mental disruption, generally linked to consciousness (more or less precise) inconsistency, injustice, falsity, because something is not correct (which is therefore “automatically rejected” by autistic thought”).
- Damage can be “mental” : The autistic person will think of an aberration that he perceives, And this will cause a disturbance of its sense of coherence and harmony (What can often be called “justice”) ; ensuite, very quickly, The rectitude and purity of its thinking system will establish many mental connections corresponding to all the reports it sees with the problem noted (These connections can go much further than in non-autist, whose thought is limited to choosing from a few pre-established paths, with “All -ready solutions”, fast and reassuring, socially decided and validated, For each known subject).
- If the autistic person focuses his thought on a disturbance (and on the inconsistency and injustice of the situation), So there can occur a kind of “chain reaction” or from “resonance”, Like a metal bell. In a non-autistic person, The problem will be quickly dissipated and forgotten, As if you hit a plastic bell.
- If the autistic person tries to express himself to request the decrease or cessation of disturbances (which are almost always imposed by the social environment), it will not be understood, where we won't believe it.
- SO, all the sufferings (sensory and mental), aggravated by the frustration of the impossibility of being understood, and to be believed(e), and by the feeling of injustice and social inconsistency, All this will finally lead to a “autistic crisis” that no one will understand (Except the people who have read – and who understood – The explanations of this page).
- Getting older, The person will live more and more similar painful experiences, which will never get solutions (since non-autists cannot and/or do not want to make efforts to understand and adapt enough).
- And so, At each new attack, The person's thought will make connections with all other previous damage of similar type, and also with thought that there are never solutions or efforts from others, And all this will end up provoking situations of suffering and despair, and often, crises, increasingly severe, which can sometimes end with suicide.
- It is also to avoid falling into all this “gear” that many autistic people feel, instinctively, that you should not start to get closer to all of this.
- This is one of the reasons why many autistic people remain “in their world”, Even if most of them cannot explain these things, since all these “social reasoning” do not make sense, valuable, And don't exist for them.
The following chapters, very important also, are not developed for the moment on this page.
