I find it both curious and revealing, that they gave us the name, autistic (autism) over 80 years ago.
Aut-istic.
Aut, from ancient Greek word *αὐτός* (autos), which means “self”.
The neurotypicals didn’t understand us then, and they don’t understand us now.
We are οἶκος (oikos) - family. 👊🏼

One of the things I like best about my dog, George Bailey.
When he goes to the dog park, he doesn’t run to a dog that looks just like him.
He runs over to all the dogs individually in the park and tries to get them to all come out to the center and play together.
Please play with me.
