A Spectrum of Understanding: A Qualitative Exploration of Autistic Adults' Understandings and Perceptions of Friendship(s) | Autism in Adulthood
Background: Previous research has often documented that friendship is an area of difficulty for autistic people, however this may be caused by a neurotypical understanding of friendship. The current study aimed at adopting a more inclusive account of friendship, involving an autistic participant group representing a range of genders and communication preferences while exploring the following question—What are autistic adults' perceptions of friendships? Method: Participants (n = 20) were interviewed using their preferred method of communication (speaking and non-speaking) during 2021–2022. Results: The results showed that three main themes emerged under an overarching theme of A Spectrum of Understanding: Identity with Others, Sharing Value, and Shared Presence. The inclusive approaches used in the current study allowed under-researched autistic groups such as non-speaking autistic people and autistic people who identify as non-binary to participate in meaningful research. Conclusions: The study offers a new perspective on the Double Empathy theory, suggesting it may be helpful to conceptualize it as a continuum of neuro-cultural learning rather than a distinctive binary centered on an autistic-allistic misunderstanding. Increased understanding of friendships in autistic groups will help to increase awareness of social belonging and support that can protect against poor mental health outcomes.

Autism and anaesthesia: a simple framework for everyday practice
As the autistic experience of the world differs from that of non-autistic people, so too does autistic behaviour. Understanding what is usual for an autistic patient facilitates care. Repetitive behaviour, which is common to autistic people, is termed ‘stimming’. It varies in manifestation and function, but may include hand flapping, whole body movements or the subtle use of fidget tools. In stressful situations, anxiety may be alleviated by stimming, so we advise encouraging the use of whatever tools a patient finds beneficial.

With the help of written language, WEIRD societies and powered-up empires emphasise and formalised a top-down perspective on the propagation of cultural practices and values. With the context of empires, education is no longer primarily about omni-directional learning at human scale, but it degrades into various forms of uni-directional indoctrination, administered by those in formal positions of “authority”.
In small human scale societies without abstract formal authorities, everyone learns from everyone, primarily by observation, imitation, and asking for assistance. For small children in human scale societies the household and extended family provide a rich environment for omni-directional learning.
