An illustration with a title caption that reads, “Autistic people don’t need to apologize for”. The following list follows: 1. Needing to know details in advance: who, what, when, where, why & how 2. Being upset if something changes unexpectedly 3. Moving our body or making noises to self regulate in public places 4. Asking for accommodations & being angry if these aren’t respected 5. Putting ourself first & giving ourself time alone to recover 6. Taking the literal meaning & misinterpreting information 7. Taking a long time to process information & make decisions 8. Talking about interests passionately & always bringing them up 9. Being our authentic self & unmasking Illustration by Izzy @autieselfcare
