    because if you want to succeed let alone survive in life the attitude needs to change or it needs to hide.

    Framing things this way is a big mistake and I don’t see why it isn’t more obvious to people that it’s a mistake. You want someone you care about to believe that there is a binary choice between a sustainable existence and resolving their emotional needs? You couldn’t make a more persuasive argument for suicidal thinking and self destructive behavior if you tried. And it isn’t even true because they are mutually dependent priorities. It took me too many years and therapy to figure this out, you should really consider approaching the issue from a different angle than this one.

      Thank you. I’m glad some people realise that telling autistic people to adapt or die is an awful inhumane thing to do.

      Because for people like me, that is what you are asking us to do.
