Notre godfather

Josef Schovanec (érudit autiste, traveler, conférencier et écrivain)

Josef is our friend, il a inventé le mot “Autistan”, et nous essayons de faire tout ce qui est possible et utile à partir de cela.
He is the godfather of our organization, depuis octobre 2016.
Several of his books, conferences, television and radio shows, mentionnent l’Autistan.
There would be too much to write about him here.… (He's aproximatly 120000 results in a famous search engine…)

Il a été membre du Comité des Droits de l’Homme à l’Organisation des Nations-Unies.
He supported us several times by email, en écrivant que nos efforts sont “admirables”, et que notre concept est “prometteur” (preuves disponibles sur demande).

Christian Jost

Christian Jost est un scientifique et aventurier international, and he is the specialist in’Clipperton Island, qui est le premier endroit où le concept de la Autistan a commencé à “vivre” (mentally), in April 2014 (cp.autistan.org).
He loves what we do, and it’s reciprocal. We both try to protect the most fragile nature and life. We are friends.
Cet article explique la naissance de notre concept, and his very special relationship with Clipperton.

Zhanat Karatay (to the left), propriétaire et directrice de Pioneer Concept, show it very first flag of Autistan (in the printing company, avec la propriétaire), the 3 august 2016.

C’était un moment vraiment historique pour nous, puisque c’était la première “existence matérielle” de notre concept. Zhanat helped us in various ways to transform a project (almost a dream) in concrete reality, for the first time.

Our flag was inspired and designed there, dans sa grande station de montagne à Almaty, which is the valley visible in this photo (où il est possible de deviner les bâtiments de Pioneer, en bas au loin).
Grâce à elle, le premier très grand drapeau de l’Autistan (1,40 x 2,26 meters) a pu commencer à “flotter sur le monde”, as seen in the image above (in August 2016).

Below, the same flag, que nous venions de recevoir, in the restaurant room:

Elle nous a aussi aidés à commencer le concept des ambassades d’Autistan.

Zhanat Karatay est assurément une «personne providentielle» pour les personnes autistes du monde.

Indeed, non seulement nous avons pu commencer notre projet concrètement grâce à elle, mais aussi elle comprend l’autisme et elle a organisé des camps d’été et des camps de ski inclusifs pour les enfants et les jeunes, where autistic children could really progress, parce qu’ils n’étaient pas traités avec une approche médicale, puisque Zhanat sait (like us) que l’autisme est quelque chose à valoriser, pas à guérir.

Elle est aussi la mère d’un jeune artiste autiste, Alibek.

We would like to say a “special thanks” to Zhanat Karatay pour sa confiance et pour nous avoir aidés à vraiment commencer, and also for all the help it can provide to the autistic population in general, thanks to his understanding, his common sense and good will.

Le drapeau de Autistan (1,00 x 1, 62 m) flotte pour la toute première fois à Pioneer Resort, Almaty, Kazakhstan, the 12 august 2016 (above) and the 13 august (below).

THE other organizations thati support us (?)

Qui ?…
En dehors de Pioneer Concept au Kazakhstan en 2016, nous n’avons jamais trouvé aucune organisation capable et disposée à aider une organisation d’autistes, nos collègues autistes dans différents pays ne connaissent rien de tel, apparently, autism is still considered “something to heal”, and the concept of autistic people trying to help themselves and “defend autism” probably seems surreal to most people.
We are alone, in a human desert.
We are 1% of the world, but there apparently isn't even one public or private agency to help autistic organizations (pas seulement en termes de “soins” ou d’éducation, mais aussi pour l’aide réelle dont nous avons besoin, et pour l’autonomisation et la liberté).
Il n’y a rien, à notre connaissance.
Nous avons arrêté de chercher car cela fait perdre trop de temps et c’est trop désespérant.
Nous tentons de parvenir à nos objectifs sans avoir de moyens pour cela, en contactant directement les gouvernements des pays, qui presque toujours ignorent complètement nos propositions, alors qu’en même temps ils aimeraient mieux comprendre l’autisme.
Nous ne pouvons que continuer en espérant qu’un pays, puis plusieurs pays, vont enfin faire l’effort de vérifier ce que nous disons, et enfin accepter de dialoguer pour optimiser leurs politiques publiques en matière d’autisme.
Nous avons suffisamment de preuves, mais les gens sont occupés et n’ont pas le temps de les regarder.

Nous restons évidemment ouverts aux propositions d’aides diverses (ce qui n’est pas nécessairement une question d’argent).

Table of Contents

Quick presentation :

1. Autistan is the “autistic world” : this designates, In summary, everything that characterizes autism and autistic people.
2. The Diplomatic Organization of Autistan a pour but principal d’inform public authorities countries, so that they better understand the needs and difficulties of autistic people, with the aim of a “Correct Consideration of Autism Everywhere” allowing a “Accessibility for Autistic People Exposed to Disabling Situations“, in order to reduce the “Socio-Generated Attacks (sensory, mental or other)”.
Our organization is “extra-nationale”, she does not perform any “outside interference”, it offers complementary contributions thanks to a very broad approach, diverse, different, which allows comparisons and reflections that are very useful for improving public policies.
3. Autistic people do not suffer “of autism” : they suffer from consequences of the absence of Correct Consideration of Autism Everywhere, and therefore the absence of public policies and measures allowing accessibility thanks to the reduction of these external attacks.
4. For that, it is essential to start by understanding that “autism” (which is a human difference with many qualities) is a different thing from “autism disorders” (which are only problems, objective or subjective).
5. Autistic people must be able to “learn non-autism” to live by adapting to it, BUT without complying that is to say without “obligation to become non-autistic”, because we must preserve the qualities specific to autism, and we must avoid the many and dangerous faults and social traps, in particular that which consists of creating self-esteem through “possible judgment by strangers”, which requires a sort of “dictatorship of social image” obliging to “glasses” (which is absurd, superficial, and particularly toxic for autistic people).
6. It is imperative that autistic people are not thwarted in their interests or businesses (except for the minimum rules of good manners), that they are not exposed to restrictions, to over-protection or deprivation of liberty because of their autism.
Indeed, it’s unfair but above all it prevents any positive development.
The positive development of autistic people is only possible if they can follow “your own life path”, which is obviously not ordinary, and which will be favored by an unlimited multitude of possibilities, of choice, of chances, of experiences, dating, of adventures, travel etc.., and not the other way around : the restriction and aridity of a life even more limited and restricted than that of most non-autistic people (which is very “standardized and robotic”).
For that, it is imperative and essential that PARENTS of autistic people can be “educated about autism”.
7. Freedom and experimentation are therefore essential, and understanding of these principles (among many others that we can explain and demonstrate in detail) is essential for society to enable a better life for autistic people : more free, more just, more fulfilled, with the same level of possibilities and chances as non-autistic people, that is to say a “real life”, worthy and happy.
8. This would be possible if autistic people who can explain these things were listened attentively, and if the public authorities made efforts and understood that the necessary modifications are not abusive : these are corrections that are beneficial for society as a whole.
Try to attract attention, and explain these things convincingly with examples and evidence “from real life” : this is the only goal of our organization.
