Autism

Soooooo….

I decided to post up a page about autistic things in general; information, articles, other tumblr posts on the subject and some of my own experiances (pros, cons, stims etc).

I don’t know everything about it myself, even though I have it. I’m still learning. That said, not everyone’s autism is exactly the same.

If you want to add something to the list, leave a message.
