Understanding Sensory Sensitivity

The Autistic Teacher

[aw-tysm]

One thing I've noticed over the past few years is that we seem to have turned away from describing things as our "struggles" and started describing things as our "dislikes".

More often than not I seem to hear "I don't like this". And I just feel like that sends the wrong message to people about what autism really is.

"I don't like eye contact" vs "I struggle to maintain eye contact".

"I don't like small talk" vs "I struggle to engage in small talk".

"I don't like being around people" vs "I find it overwhelming to be around people".

"I understood the joke, I just didn't like it" vs "I didn't understand the joke and had to ask what it meant".

But autism isn't a set of likes and dislikes. You're not diagnosed with autism based on what you like and what you don't like.

Many of us would actually like to be able to do the things we struggle with. But we can't or we need support to do them.

It's fine if you both don't like and struggle with. But I don't think we should be reducing symptoms and traits down to just "I don't like this". It feels like it takes away our genuine experiences with our struggles.

Lots of people don't like things, yet are fully capable of doing them anyways. One may not like walking up and down stairs, yet one may be fully capable of doing so. That doesn't mean one actually struggles with walking up and down stairs.
