At birth, doctors suggested I would be mentally disabled, in addition to the physical injuries I suffered. I have never been described as normal. “High-functioning autism” (HFA) is just another way to describe a few aspects of “me.” The autistic me is the creative me, the curious me, the complete me.
Order matters to me, and it matters to many autistics. We like things done a certain way, especially if there are rules or guidelines provided.
Directions offer rules, or at least some guidelines. Ignoring directions feels wrong to me.
