3 Ideas About Autism that Sound Good (but are actually TOXIC!) - Have you noticed them?

There are 3 Toxic Attitudes towards autism that are being normalized in society, and this is not okay. Sometimes ideas sound good at first glance, but they actually hide a toxic belief underneath. In this video, we will break down the three toxic attitudes towards autism that are shockingly normalized in our society. From prioritizing neuro normative social skills to invalidating genuine needs, these attitudes can have serious consequences for us autistic adults. I will also share my insights on how we can challenge these harmful beliefs and how we can avoid them ourselves. 🎞️Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 1:24 The Toxic Attitudes 2:01 Attitude #1 7:14 Attitude #2 10:28 Attitude #3 ----------------------------------------------- 👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!! If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you! I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30. Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know. Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person. Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way. Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too. ➡️️    / @autismfromtheinside   👋Connect with me: ➡️️ Patreon:   / aspergersfromtheinside   ➡️️ Facebook:   / autismfromtheinside.com.au   ➡️️ Twitter:   / aspiefrominside   ➡️️ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autismfromin... ➡️️ Written Blog: https://www.autismfromtheinside.com.a... ➡️️ Email: [email protected] Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my channel!
