1. The Autistan is he “world of autism”: in summary, refers to everything that characterizes autism and autistic people.
2. The main objective of the Autistan Diplomatic Organization is inform public authorities of countries to better understand the needs and difficulties of autistic people, with the purpose of “Taking Autism into Proper Consideration Everywhere” allowing the “Accessibility for Autistic People Exposed to Disabling Situations“, in order to reduce the “Socio-Generated Disturbances” (sensory, mental or other).
Our organization is “extranational”, no “interferes from outside”, offers complementary contributions thanks to a very broad approach, different, different, that allows very useful comparisons and reflections to improve public policies.
3. Autistic people do not suffer “of autism”: suffer from the consequences of the lack of Adequate Consideration of Autism Everywhere, and therefore the lack of public policies and measures that allow accessibility by reducing these external disturbances..- 4. To make it, It is essential to start by understanding that “autism” (which is a human difference with many qualities) It is something different from the “autism disorders” (they are just problems, objective or subjective).
- 5. Autistic people should be able “learn non-autism” to live adapting to it, BUT without settling, that is to say, without being “forced to become non-autistic”, because we must preserve the qualities of autism and avoid the numerous and dangerous defects and social traps, in particular that which consists of creating self-esteem through “possible judgment of strangers”, that imposes a kind of “dictatorship of social image” that forces people to “shine” (which is absurd, superficial and particularly toxic for autistic people).
- 6. It is imperative that autistic people are not hindered in their interests or endeavors. (apart from the minimum rules of behavior), what are not exposed to restrictions, overprotection or deprivation of liberty because of his autism.
This is unfair and, above all, prevents any positive development.
The positive development of autistic people is only possible if they can continue “your own life path”, which is necessarily not ordinary, and that will be favored by an unlimited multitude of possibilities, elections, opportunities, experiences, meetings, adventures, trips, etc., and not the opposite: the restriction and aridity of a life even more limited and restricted than that of most non-autistic people (which is very “standardized and robotic”).
For this reason, It is imperative and essential that PARENTS of autistic people be “educated to autism”.
- 7. Freedom and experimentation are, therefore, essential, and understanding these principles (among many others that we can explain and demonstrate in detail) It is essential for society to allow a better life for autistic people: more free, fairer, fuller, with the same level of possibilities and opportunities as non-autistic people, that is to say, a “real life”, worthy and happy.
- 8. This would be possible if will listen carefully to autistic people who can explain these things, and if the public powers made an effort and understood that the necessary modifications are not abusive: son corrections beneficial to the entire society.
Try to raise awareness and explain these things convincingly with examples and evidence “of real life”: that is the only objective of our organization.
