This is a blog where I will post about my experiences with being autistic. I invite others to do the same as well as ask me any questions or for advice. PLEASE ADD YOURSELF AS A FOLLOWER! :)

Maturity: Part II
Thanks for coming! I'm gradually moving my blog to Substack! You can check out this post here!
Totally agree with you. There seems to be a lowest-common-denominator attitude when it comes to skills, one that relegates people on the spectrum, who have uneven skill development, to be labeled by their weakest skills. And the famous Homer Simpson quote, "If it's hard to do, then it's not worth doing," seems to be the operative line in the case of this girl.
By the way, I'm taking on the "too much emphasis on social maturity and absolutely zero on intellectual maturity" theme in a novel I just started today. Wish me luck!
