The choice facing Hunters is this: align with someone who sees your mind, your rhythm, and your difference not as the problem, but as a territory to walk together...
A retired teacher, I retired early to write about what I saw for those on the spectrum, some autistics definitely having more severe symptoms, others mild to moderate, and most without the parent feedback about a gut response after a vaccination.
As is written about here regarding ADHD being about hunters, not farmers, overall most on the autism spectrum are here with a different intelligence orientation to life. They are connected more to the right brain, which receives information from the world around, and insights from even beyond, for the right brain is like an open satellite dish, unfiltered.
Much info coming in now is linear information: letters and numbers, as well as sounds, colors, etc. Without a filter, this particularly can be overwhelming to autistics, and in some ways to the others on the spectrum, like to sounds, touch, too much linear information...this and other things making us one of those "different learners."
Vaccinations did not cause our differences, and certainly not for most with autism, except for those with more severe symptoms.
We are here because the arc of progress in our modem world has bent too far only to numbers, letters, concepts, and thought. (Descartes: I think, therefore I Am, thinking leading to the scientific method, the Industrial Revolution, and to tech.)
These were initially good developments, but progress is good till it goes too far. We have other intelligences to balance only factual information (that processed by the left brain). Intuition, out of the box approaches, gut hunches, hands on learning and knowing, the arts, are all a part of our lives, these greatly diminished in focus by our educational system, which has copied the industrialized system of largely focussing on letters and numbers as part of information.
Connection has diminished in our world, it meant to connect us to one another, whereas too much thinking tends to separate us into hierarchies of evaluation about others and the world. Take a look, is that true of our world, and is it working?
Those on the broadly diverse autism spectrum, are here wanting to help others, in connective ways, inspired first by the right brain, and then shaped into helpful contributions by the linear left brain linear skills. With a right and left brain hemisphere, we are all here, balanced to do well for ourselves and others.
I will leave a comment here regarding the current vaccination discussion about autism, those with it on the autism spectrum, as well as those on the spectrum with ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, and Asperger's syndrome, some with mild characteristics, or more, with individual different aspects, as well as different combinations for each individual.
Vaccination caused autism:
Over 20 years ago, Dr. Wakefield, after asking parents about the symptoms they saw soon after the MMR vaccination, said he was told the children would bend over or lean against something with their stomach once vaccinated.
Sorry, I accidentally hit post.

Beautiful and important guidance.
