This essay examines autism from a neurodiversity perspective, focusing on its impact on social, communication skills, and behavior. It begins by defining neurodiversity and detailing UK disability rights, including the Equality Act (2010), the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2009), and the SEND Code of Practice (2015). The essay contrasts the medical model of disability, which views autism as a disorder needing treatment, with the neurodiversity model, which emphasizes acceptance and support for autistic individuals' unique traits. The medical model sees autism through deficits, while the neurodiversity model views it as a natural variation of human diversity. Autism is defined by persistent social communication and interaction deficits and repetitive behaviors, but the neurodiversity perspective sees it as a way of being, not something to be cured. A literature review highlights communication challenges in autism, including alexithymia (difficulty in understanding emotions) and echolalia (repetition of phrases). It discusses the misconception that autistic individuals lack empathy and introduces the 'double empathy problem,' which explains the communication gap between autistic and non-autistic people. Studies show that autistic females often feel misunderstood and that autism's social treatment can erase individual identities. The essay connects autism to Bangladeshi culture, noting that autism is often stigmatized and misunderstood. Resources are primarily in English, and autism is viewed negatively. The intended resource, a bilingual storybook, aims to improve understanding of autism in Bangladeshi families, highlighting strengths and promoting positive attitudes.
