I wrote about autistic culture and communication patterns for a previous assignment at my university before I graduated. I would love to get feedback from others for criticism so I can improve it perhaps. I believe the moderation said they might add it to a newsletter.
Hello!
I am a proudly Autistic person, and I tried to write a paper that could help improve Autistic-Neurotypical communication. I also felt it was important to stress to others at my university that Autistic people have a culture of their own. Communications was not my major (CS was) and I only had 5 weeks in an accelerated course among others to write this. I tried to give it my best effort to use intercultural theories in my paper. I found it extremely hard to find supporting evidence due to autistic culture not being very well documented. I think I would like to revise this semi-rushed paper and make it something genuinely useful that could be shared. I would love to get feedback especially from other neurodivergent people who have experience in Autistic circles. Due to the rushed nature, there are most likely some big mistakes and misunderstandings.

Have you ever seen content about Autistic culture(s)? I thought it was amazing to learn about it and other disability cultures like Deaf culture.
