Ponderings Of An Autist

Good day to you, my name's Colm Philpott, welcome to my blog! This blog started as a space for me to talk about my experience of coming to the realization that I'm autistic quite late in life. Eventually I branched out into talking about music, cycling and astronomy. Over the last two years I've blogged more about my ever increasing interest in wildlife. And a topic I talk about frequently, that I think everyone should be talking about, is the genocide in Gaza.

Attempts to Divide Autistic People Into “High Functioning” and “Low Functioning” Only Create Misconceptions About Autistic People

Labeling people and putting them into boxes presents misconceptions and stereotypes. This article was originally uploaded to Facebook, and in it I discuss the labels of "high-functioning" and "low-functioning" autism, and the challenges they present.
