When NO Doesn't Mean No
PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) can have a HUGE impact on people's lives. This video looks at how it's commonly misrepresented and how damaging the popular perception of PDA is becoming.
Autism is a way of being.
It's a collection of specific differences from commonly
perceived expectations of sensory perception,
information processing & expression, which is viewed
by external observers as differences in
behaviour & communication.
Autistamatic is here to help both autistic and non-autistic people
understand more about the lives, challenges and above all
potential of autistic people in society today.

What Is Autism?
STOP Saying "People With Autism" (Person First Language)
Autism is easy to explain...isn't it? The internet is full of descriptions of autism from charities, medical companies, health authorities and academics, but hardly any of them have had any input from a single autistic person.
