"I think there may be some mild level of autism mixed in," said Brewdog, co-founder and CEO of provocative brewing company. One James Watt said.
I'm sorry, what. This phrase sounds more suitable for pale ale descriptors than neurotypes.
Appeared in Steven Bartlett's "CEO's Diary" podcast, Watt expressed "obsession," "cold eyes," "empathy, and read social cues." In last year's Sunday Times article, I explained that I'm having a hard time doing it.
As a result of such a label, Watt decided to meet an expert.
I was shocked to read about such a prominent person trying to justify their suspicious misconduct by condemning their potential autism profile. I did.
James Watt's latest comment is afterabout 300 ex-employees have signed an open letter accusing the company of creating "leftover fear". It was a thing. Recent BBC Disclosure Survey.
In this regard, it doesn't matter if James Watt has autism. Being autistic does not allow bad behavior. Because being autistic is not the same as doing bad things.
I grew up unaware that I had autism,and over 40 years old with a squeaky criminal record and driver's license. I know that I am morally right and I know how to treat others kindly.
On my bad day, when I'm having a hard time, I may be a little crazy. If I am suffering from extreme autism (usually as a result of a hostile environment or sensory overload), it is short-lived and stops when the necessary adjustments are made.
People with autism have empathy-we do not lack feelings and compassion for our fellow humans.
Associating an unpleasant human trait with an autistic identity is all the progress made by passionate supporters who have worked tirelessly to regain the label from stigma and misrepresentation. Causes serious damage.
Ignore what is known as "culture of fear" because autism harms all autistic people everywhere, whether or not they are actually diagnosed. I will try.
I understand the significant consequences of major changes (such as the end of Watt's marriage) on everyday life and well-being, if they benefit him of suspicion.
People with autism have empathy – we do not lack feelings and compassion for fellow humans
Major changes to our daily lives can be overwhelming, especially if not our incitement, which can cause debilitating anxiety and trauma.
His decision to seek a cure to overcome the effects is commendable. Many late-diagnosed autistic people demand an assessment after struggling during difficult times in their lives.
Explain that they feel things harder, especially if you don't know you have autism and you don't have the best skills at your disposal to help life important Events will be difficult to navigate.
Some people with autism dissociate as a coping mechanism. I am sometimes referred to as "far" or "blind." This is because I'm zoning to the subconscious self-preservation during difficult times.
However, there is a difference between personally struggling when there is too much life and taking actions that create the "toxic" environment that Watt is said to have done.
People with autism have the ability to treat others as badly as others, but not because they have autism.
What Watt does is just add a stigma. It is always present in society.
I've been told (by a very uneducated person) that I'm lacking in empathy, but that wasn't good.
It felt as if they had chosen the most annoying metaphor associated with autism and applied it to me for its effectiveness. It was a lazy analysis, especially used to criticize me as a human being. Frankly, it made me feel like garbage, and it's still the case.
I want people to know that I'm aware of the difference between what's right and what's wrong, and I want them to pay close attention to doing what's right. This innate moral norm stems from my strong sense of social justice and unwavering honesty.
However, there is damage.
Watt describes himself as "a little autistic" It's also unpleasant to do.
There is no mild autism. There is no severe autism. Just because there are people with autism,everyone has different strengths and hardships.
A person with autism is more than a collection of features. We are creative, innovative, compassionate, lively and all individual. Stay away from these harmful and outdated descriptors.
