Five Steps Toward Autism Acceptance

2/4/2019

Nick Walker's original Neurocosmopolitanism article on autism acceptance caught my attention because of its logic, rationality, and courage to speak the truth about something that seems to scare a lot of people, on either end of any spectrum, into being irrational.

Help Me - I Feel Crazy Emotions for No Reason!

2/4/2019

Most people are able to "feel another's pain" if they are witness to, read about, or hear about a loved one getting hit hard, say, by a baseball. Science is revealing that there are mirror neurons in the brain that allow this to happen.

Insights

No 'system' is corrupt;
each person within it chooses to go along instead of doing what's right.
---
No technology is bad, each person who uses it chooses to behave or not within it.
---
If we agreed upon and prioritized a handful of core values, everything we say and do would reflect those values, even as time and technology changed.
---
If we applied polarity physics to everyday life, we would recognize the importance of balancing the best of both light and dark aspects, instead of knee-jerking from one unbalanced extreme to another like a free radical.
---
Emotions are vital yet never an adult's excuse for responding immaturely. Instead, see emotional spikes, whether positive or negative, as a sign to slow down, backup, and proceed with informed caution or change direction.
