What we would call for Autism? 
According to Dr. Ángel Rivière, Cognitive Psychologist:
"Being autistic is a mode of being, although not normal. My Life as autism can be as happy and fulfilling as yours "normal"
1 .- Help me understand. Facilítame organize my world and anticipating what will happen. Dame order, structure, and not chaos.
2 .- Do not distress me, because I was distressed. Respect my rhythm. Whenever you interact with me if you understand my needs and my particular way of understanding reality. Do not get depressed, you usually will progress and develop me more and more.
3 .- Do not talk too much, not too fast. The words are "air" that is not heavy for you, but can be a heavy burden for me. Are often not the best way to interact with me.
4 .- Like other children, like other adults, need to share the pleasure and I like to do things right, but not always achieved. Let me know, somehow, when I did the right thing and help me to make no mistakes. When I have too many bugs me what happens to you: I ended up irritated and refuse to do things. 5 .-
need more item you need, more predictability in the environment that you require. We have to negotiate my rituals to live.
6 .- I find it difficult to understand the meaning of many of the things I asked to do. Help me understand. Try asking me things that may have a specific meaning and knowledgeable for me. Do not let I get bored or idle.
7 .- Do not invade me too. Sometimes, people are far too unpredictable, too noisy, too stimulating. Respect the distance I need, but leave me alone.
8 .- What I do is not against you. When I have a tantrum or hitting me, if I destroy something or I move too much when it's hard to hear or do what you ask, I'm not trying to hurt you. Already I have a problem of intent, I do not ascribe bad intentions!
9 .- My development is not absurd, though not easy to understand. It has its own logic and many of the behaviors you call "altered" are ways of dealing with the world from my special way of being and perceiving. Make an effort to understand me.
10 .- The others are far too complicated. My world is complex and closed, but simple. Although it may seem strange as I say, my world is so open, no lies so openly, so naively exposed to others, it is difficult to enter. I do not live in an "empty fortress", but in an open plain as that may seem inaccessible. I have a lot less complicated than those you consider yourself normal.
11 .- Do not ask me the same things nor do I push yourself the same routines. You do not have to make to help autistic. The autistic me, not you!
12 .- Not only am I autistic. I am also a child, adolescent, or adult. I share many things for children, teenagers or adults who call "normal." I like playing and having fun, I love my parents and close people, I feel satisfied when I do things right. What we share is more than what divides us.
13 .- It is worth to live with. I can give you so much satisfaction as other people, but not the same. There may come a time in your life when I, being autistic, is your biggest and best company.
14 .- Do not molest me chemically. If you've been told I have to take medication, try to be reviewed periodically by a specialist. 15 .- Ni
my parents and I are to blame for what happened to me. Neither are the professionals who help me. It is no use to you culpéis each other. Sometimes, my reactions and behaviors can be difficult to understand or deal with, but is not nobody's fault. The idea of \u200b\u200b"guilt" does not only suffering in relation to my problem.
16 .- Do not ask me things consistently above what I am capable of. But ask me what I can do. Give assistance to become more autonomous, to understand better, but do not give me more help.
17 .- do not have to completely change your lives for the sake of living with an autistic person. I do not serve anything that you're wrong, and lock yourself get depressed. I need stability and emotional well-being around me to be better. Think your partner not to blame for what happens to me.
18.-Help me naturally, without turning into an obsession. To help, you must have your moments when you rest or do you pursue your own activities. Come near me, do not go, but do not feel like under an unbearable burden. In my life I have had bad times, but I can be even better.
19 .- Take me as I am. Not your acceptance conditions to stop being autistic. Be optimistic without becoming "novels." My situation usually improves, but for now has no cure.
20 .- Although it is difficult to me communicate or understand the social niceties, I have even some advantages in comparison with that I say "normal." I can hardly communicate, but do not usually cheat. I do not understand social niceties, but not double opt-in for dangerous intentions or feelings so common in social life. My life can be successful if it is simple, orderly and peaceful. If you are not constantly asking me only what I find most difficult. Being autistic is a way of being, although it is not normal. My Life as autism can be as happy and fulfilling as yours "normal." In these lives, we can meet and share many experiences.
