Stephen Shore y Autistan en Australia

Recently, Stephen sent us a photo of him wearing an Autistan T-shirt during one of his presentations at the annual meeting of INSAR in Melbourne, Australia (15-18/05/2024).

Stephen Mark Shore es un profesor autista muy famoso (Quizás la persona autista más famosa del mundo después del Templo Grandin).

Él ama y apoya el concepto de Autistán (Como puedes ver en esta foto), y durante varios años ya ha acordado amable y espontáneamente Embajador de Autistán para el Estado de Nueva York en los Estados Unidos.

So far, we haven’t done anything yet in this country due to a lack of resources and because there is already a lot going on regarding autism, therefore the need for information and advice does not seem acute.
There are enough autistic advocates in the United States, our contributions would be very minimal, and it is more useful to concentrate our efforts on other countries.

But we can take specific actions for particular cases with this country, if necessary and if possible (and we already have at least one project, rather important).

Not only does Stephen support us, but also he sometimes gives us advice.
For example, recently:

  • He advised us to use, in English, “The Autistic World” instead of “The World of the Autistic People”.
    And indeed, it’s better because it’s shorter and more general, and this formulation refers more to the dimension “autism” (word which is quite synonymous with “Autistan”) rather than that of a world which “would belong” to autistic people (more indirect formulation).
    However, in French, in Portuguese and Spanish, for now we will keep “The Autistic World” because in French “Le monde autistique” appears “bizarre”. It’s less weird in Portuguese (“O Mundo Autista”), but all this remains to be discussed.

  • He also recommended a variation of the Autistan T-shirt, so as to see more of the Disc of the Autistan.
    • So we prepared a new T-shirt for him, for his trip to India in July 2024:

      Words in Hindi : “Autistan – Autistic Vishwa” (= Autistic World)

    • Encouraged by this idea, we also made a new badge (for in-person participation) with this logo:

Stephen es un gran viajero, Como nuestro otro amigo y apoyo Josef schovanec.
Además, Escribieron un libro juntos (Josef tradujo y adaptó el libro de Stephen: "Comprender el autismo para los tontos").

Lo que hacemos es holístico, global y coherente:

Todas estas cosas nos permiten avanzar poco a poco, Con la esperanza de que algún día los organismos públicos relevantes finalmente entiendan que nuestro concepto no es solo "una idea genial con una buena bandera", Pero, sobre todo, un recurso muy útil para comprender realmente las dificultades y las necesidades de las personas autistas., Para mejorar o crear las políticas públicas necesarias y verdaderamente apropiadas, Gracias a todas las explicaciones, detalles, matices y ejemplos reales que podemos proporcionar.
