Understanding my autistic reality requires reality and curiosity capacity as well as the ability to understand someone else's perception; moving toward our experience, tolerating complexity (for example, patterns), not self-defense or advice.

"I want to understand how your mind works", feels safe, vs "how does autism feel". Does that question come from authentic curiosity? Here's one authentic answer: on occasion, from a sensory standpoint, imagine walking in a huge department store with lots of mirrors after a large dose of Ayahuasca.
