What Its Like To Have Autism. April 10th 2018 By Mary Janca autism self-advocate and high school teacher. I learnt the importance of non verbal cues. The other is fear of the unknown. Autism is a difficult concept to grasp unless youre living with it or dealing with someone close to you who has it.
Most people are quite uncertain about what it. For many with autism the unknown can trigger a loss of control. You have to work harder to achieve things but you grow stronger by doing them. You occasionally feel like acting like Jim Carrey and contort your body and face. Not doing so feels uncomfortable because tension anxiety or frustration builds up inside and your body feels numb if its not moving. Something else to point out is that my autism is very high functioning which is why I sometimes like to say that Im human just like a regular person only with a few kinks in my head which of course is my autism.

Wherever you are on the spectrum it makes you tenacious. Most people are quite uncertain about what it. I learnt social skills. Something else to point out is that my autism is very high functioning which is why I sometimes like to say that Im human just like a regular person only with a few kinks in my head which of course is my autism. You often shake your foot bite your lips or fidget with your hands. People with autism still have many great qualities.
