Decoding Allistic

By Forest Van Slyke

Autistic people shouldn't have to learn to speak allistic (non autistic). But the ability to do so is essential for us to be treated better in an allistic society and to improve our quality of life. Most people don't know that autistic people speak a different neurological language. They think we have a disorder, there's something wrong with our brain and we have a social deficit. When you think there's something wrong with someone's brain, you're less likely to value what they have to say. But if they speak a different language, you won't understand what they're saying anyway. This is why allistic people can't just learn to understand us. Because autistic people speak a different neurological language, it's like allistic and autistic people are living in two different realities. Decoding allistic is like decoding ciphers. They're saying one thing and meaning another. Allistic people need to understand we aren't disordered, we have a different neurotype and we speak a different language that needs to be accommodated. But first we need to learn to speak allistic. Decoding Allistic is your guide to learning to speak allistic, so you can bridge the communication gap in a society that doesn't understand you, live the life you want and maybe even change the world. Forest Van Slyke is an autistic and ADHD writer from Canada. They also work as an autistic coach and content creator, where they aim to help other autistic people in a society that wasn't made for them. Forest's first book was Finding Autistic Joy .
