but this is my whole point - you can only speak to your own personal experience of being autistic - yet you speak as if everyone is you, as if your analysis/experience is true for every individual autistic person
it isn't - that's not possible
you also say "with autism" but there is no "with" (or "have") - I am autistic, I am female, I'm not "with femaleness"
autism is integral to who we are, it's a neurology that's inseparable from us, of course your view of yourself can stand, but if you insist it's truth for others, that's offensive to nearly every autistic person I know IRL and the thousands I interact with in online communities.
autism doesn't need removing from me - I don't need curing from "it", I love my mind, I love how I think and feel differently, it's the world and 'normal' that's the problem, it's the 'normal' human world that needs healing, changing...
autism isn't a 'blockage', illness, or disease, it doesn't need a cure, it's a neurodiversity
to have the view you do is insulting to the majority of autistic people
thank you for further explanation re Aya, I respect your experience in that, and will only critique to observe you don't seem to acknowledge that you could ever be incorrect in your workings.
Even after 26 years initiated as an Usui Reiki channel (II) I always defer to the possibility I'm inaccurate, have perceived incorrectly or only have partial truth.
