What should we stop saying to autistic people? Saying everyone is autistic invalidates the autistic experience while also makes it difficult for us to get the necessary support. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg in terms of everyday common invalidating phrases we hear all the time.

A little while ago, I asked the autistic community what are the things that NTs should stop saying to autistic people. In this video, I divided the responses into five categories (invalidating, dismissive, condescending, intolerant, and outright accusatory.)

🎞️Timestamps:
0:00 Introduction
1:27 Invalidating Responses
3:51 Being Dismissive of Needs
5:20 Mild and Severe Autism
5:32 Condescending Comments
7:02 Ignorant/Intolerant Comments
7:45 Outright Accusatory
8:40 The Worst Thing To Say!

👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!

If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.

Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.

Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.

Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.

Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too.
