Atticus Baldwin calls for more autistic representation in Hollywood

“I think one of the biggest misconceptions about autism is that autistic people are all the same, and that we are incapable of many things. There’s a phrase, ‘If you know one person on the autism spectrum, you know ONE person on the autism spectrum’. We are each as different as neuro-typical people. We just need to navigate the world differently. Sometimes that can be difficult. But the autistic community is also a beautiful thing, filled with talented, intelligent, “magical” people. I find most autistics to be honest, respectful, and kind to one another. And we work at trying to understand each other’s needs and differences.”
