Our Philosophy & Values

The AE Philosophy sometimes seems counter to what the mainstream conversation about Autism & Asperger's says, so we've outlined it below. Read through our website to get more ideas on how we think and see life on the spectrum.

1. People on the spectrum are just that, people. There isn't anything wrong with them and there's nothing to be fixed.
2. People do the best they can with the emotional capacity they have. If they are struggling, thats because they are missing the emotional capacity to do better.
3. It's almost impossible to tell you specifically what to do, because that depends on your context & resources

Above all else, we value treating people on the spectrum with a non-monocultural world view that says that there is nothing inherently wrong with them or the way they live their life.
