Autisme/en: verschil tussen versies
Nieuwe pagina aangemaakt met ''''Note:''' In the literature and popular imagination, "typical" characteristics of autism are often mentioned, such as honesty or straightforwardness. Although this is sometimes true, it is not a general rule. People with autism can also lie, for example — often as a coping mechanism to compensate for their context blindness.' |

This illustrates a broader critique of the DSM classifications: they create types and clusters, but do not capture the complexity and uniqueness of the person.</div> | |||

Within this project, we see autism not merely as a disorder, but as a variant in thinking style: | |||
* low context sensitivity (strongly detail-oriented, difficulty with cohesion and implicit signals) | |||
* | * strengths in accuracy and detail perception | ||
* | * vulnerabilities in relationships, flexibility, and basic trust | ||

== | == Examples of context blindness in autism == | ||
* Literal interpretation of language ("the train is delayed" → looking at the vehicle instead of the timetable). | |||
* Difficulty contextualizing the emotions of others without explicit explanation. | |||
* | * Sensory overload due to noise or social pressure, because filtering irrelevant stimuli is difficult. | ||

== | == Conclusion == | ||
Autism can be understood as an extreme form of low-contextual thinking. | |||
Classifying it as a "disorder" helps in healthcare practice but should not be confused with an explanation or with the person themselves. | |||
Every person with autism is unique, with their own strengths, vulnerabilities, and ways of dealing with context. | |||
