Writing The Words He Cannot Say is a learning experience for me, and it asks questions I do not know the answer to. Before I wrote The Words He Cannot Say, I thought neurotypicals (people who do not have autism) had it easy fitting in and finding their passion, and I was the only one who struggled in those areas. But after sharing my stories, I learned that neurotypicals have the same challenges fitting in and finding their passion as I do. So as more people read The Words He Cannot Say, it may be determined that certain behaviors shown in The Words He Cannot Say are not related to having autism.
Also, people with autism vary in their talents. You will meet people with autism who act nothing like what is shown in my stories. Some people with autism fit in well with neurotypicals, while others are high support needs and use assistance from social workers and have challenges communicating while being talented in horseback riding, drawing or magic tricks. High support needs is a term some experts prefer over low functioning autism, and I agree the term high support needs is a more positive, medical, and descriptive term than low functioning autism. The movie Rain Man made people think people with autism are savants, which is only true for ten percent of people with autism. I reject a lot of writing prompts people suggest to me, because their suggestions are based on their experience with autism or what they think what autism is, which is different from my experience with autism or what I think is important, and they cannot read my mind. What may be an appropriate behavior management technique for one person with autism may not be an appropriate behavior management technique for another person with autism.
