Autism in mothers and children
As we said in the previous article, between 17% and 23% of parents of autistic children have an extended phenotype of autism, that is, they present some autistic features, without actually meeting the characteristics required for diagnosis. In addition, autism has a...
Social stigma in autistic people
Based on what is considered normal or correct in different sociopolitical contexts, there is discrimination against a wide variety of groups: LGTBIQ+ people, racialized people, psychiatrized people, autistic or physically disabled people, among many others. All of...
Dichotomous thinking in autism
“Stai esagerando”, “sei troppo sensibile”, “prendi tutto come un attacco personale” sono frasi che molte persone autistiche (non tutte, ovviamente) sono abituate a sentirsi rivolgere. Perché a volte ci viene attribuito un "eccesso di sensibilità"? In questo giudizio...

Before addressing the central theme of this article, we must think about gender. Surely many autistic people who read these lines will have asked themselves thousands of times: What exactly does it mean to be a woman? Does it have to do with performative...
Inclusion, reciprocity, coexistence
Inclusion as a process based on reciprocity, overcoming the paternalist model of inclusion in favour of a true cohabitation among the differences that make up our society, which guarantees the individual rights of self-representation and self-determination in a...
The advantages of being a neurodiverse team
A team is a group of people that work together and share goals. But, what is a neurodiverse team? From childhood, we are taught to work with other people in order to learn social skills, be organized, lead, be responsible and accept different opinions and points of...
Are autistic people unsociable or is it just a myth?
To successfully answer this question, you must first understand that autism is a spectrum; no two autistic people are the same, in the same way that we will not find two neurotypical people with the same characteristics. There are extremely chaotic and messy autistic...
Coaching
As we were mentioning in a previous article, in Specialisterne we see inclusion as a process based on reciprocity. A part of such reciprocity is expressed through the support and assessment offered to both parts compromised on that inclusion: on one side, the...
