Welcome to April, which is Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month! I wanted to answer some common questions people have concerning autism and autistic people honestly and try to avoid shaming people for having questions or just parroting popular narrative. While I have an overall neurodiversity viewpoint, I don't want to tell people how to think or make them feel bad for having questions or being curious. Hope this helps some!
