Ever since I received a diagnosis from my developmental pediatrician back in December 2018, I felt a bit confused about what autism spectrum disorder really was. For myself, this label was extraordinary, for I had already known the reason why people could not understand me.
However, that view slowly changed when I finally received my diagnosis. I began to search everywhere – the internet, personal interactions, the library – regarding what autism really is. That’s when I stumbled across the neurodiversity movement that is widely known in the West.The said movement claims that autism is a spectrum. But it is not like a tint of color wherein it is just about “a little blue” or “a strong blue,” but rather, a rainbow spectrum.
For instance, in my case, I can easily process written information in literary texts, not just by reading single paragraphs, but also whole novels with minimal to no pictures. In addition, I’m not sensitive to certain sounds and flashing lights. However, I struggle in interpreting social communications and tend to repetitively walk back and forth while thinking or murmuring.Those people who said that I’m not actually autistic are not only wrong, but also set a dangerous precedent.
