Summary

Your autistic family members, students, partners, friends, and co-workers aren't just the sum of their sensory or social differences. They're complicated, thoughtful, social, loving, respectful people who have different needs and also different priorities and values. Those needs and priorities are not less valid and shouldn't be treated like an inconvenience.
