about awesome scribblers united
Hello and thank you for visiting my website. I'm Eliza Jane, a freelance writer and advocate for autistic inclusion. Neurodivergent people may be different, but we're not in opposition and we can cultivate positive relationships in the workplace. If diversity, inclusion and equality matter to you, we need your help. It's true, neurotypical people and autists will never be on the same page, but we don't have to live on different continents, either.
Misunderstandings based on inaccurate assumptions and the limitations of knowledge from the past, persist today, and are often made worse by cancel culture, but we know better now and can choose to change the narrative. We only need a society that's willing to put aside the preconceived ideas, and discover our true motivations. Because when people know 'it's not about them', there's nothing to resent or obstruct.
And we do face obstacles. The collective strength of brainwashing passed down from previous generations prevents progress. I've lifted the lid on the misconceptions and provided the knowledge needed to see autistic traits through a different lens in my book Smash the Boulder, but we need open-minded people, willing to consider a different explanation for what they see, to take on board the message before we'll see a significant change.
And we can change things. If you'd like to learn more about how diversity, equality and inclusion; managing problem employees; and neurodivergent brain function, connect, click on the DIVERSITY tab above. Some believe autism is a new epidemic, but we've always been here. The Diversity content, may help you relate to this truth.
Smash the Boulder is available on Amazon and provides the information businesses and managers need to understand the differences between autistic and neurotypical brains that can cause problems in the workplace. (Click on the SMASH THE BOULDER tab above to find out more.) I also publish monthly articles in the Article Bank on this site (see below) on the last Wednesday of the month where I discuss anything Autism related.

smash the boulder: it's the decent thing to do...
The exponential rise in autistic diagnoses will continue because the prevalence of autistic brain function has always been greater than originally thought and the knee-jerk reaction that society is over-diagnosing autistic people is harming a minority group who've already been harmed enough.
It's a harmful assertion because it isn't based in truth. It's a judgement born from panic about the financial implications of so many having a 'disabled' status and it ignores a more logical interpretation of the facts.
So great is the incidence of autistic brain function in society, the existence of an autistic neurotype is a conversation we must have. There's work ahead to reverse misconceptions and integrate autistic people into our workplaces, and this can be achieved by replacing inaccurate public perception with the truth. The establishment's acknowledgement of The Spectrum supports the potential existence of a neurotype; at the least, it justifies and demands a conversation. It's time to widen our perceptions to accommodate the implications.
The Spectrum recognises the prevalence of autistic brain function in society and the degrees of similarity and difference within it. Recognition of an autistic neurotype would help promote autistic inclusion at work, make autistic discrimination harder and less likely, and ensure those who need the most support still receive the help they need. While those who can work and live independently, would have access to the job market, and security within it, to live productive, and most importantly, authentic lives.
Supervisors and managers often think they're managing problem employees when a company employs autistic people, but this is because they don't understand us and can only observe us through a neurotypical lens. Because of our traits, we often face rejection in the workplace and this is made worse by the current leaning towards cancel culture. But without a willingness to understand us, and adjust people management strategies accordingly, diversity, equality and inclusion policies are nothing more than empty words.
We need your support and thank you for reading.

Understanding autistic traits the easy way...
And a bit more to think about...

- Society assumes intelligent autists are 'bad' neurotypicals preventing autistic inclusion at work in breach of the diversity, equality and inclusion policies adopted by the company.
- We aren't neurotypicals, you're not managing problem employees and cancel culture is a form of bullying.
- Holding autistic people to a neurotypical standard is unreasonable and curtails positive relationships.

- Autistic brains function differently from neurotypical brains making like-for-like comparisons inaccurate.
- Our workplaces are designed by neurotypicals for neurotypicals causing problems for autistic and other neurodivergent people..
- Diversity, equality and inclusion policies are just words when businesses refuse reasonable accommodations in the belief they are unnecessary.
- You're not managing problem employees and we can reverse this situation with awareness and a rejection of cancel culture in the workplace.
What's Next?
Coming Up...
- I'm expecting to publish my next project under the Awesome Scribblers United imprint by the end of 2025 and it will be a book to help those who need to heal.
- Smash the Boulder aims to change the perception of autistic people in our society by raising understanding and awareness of our differences, but for many, much harm has been done during the years of ignorance and those harms still persist today. Many feel exhausted and hopeless. Many feel angry and frustrated. Most want to feel better and enjoy positive relationships with others.
- I felt like I was drowning for a long time. My next book won't prevent the need for medication or medical/therapeutic intervention if depression has already taken a strong hold, but it will add a different perspective. I trained as a hypnotherapist (hypnotist in the US) some years ago and this book will combine the power of our imaginations with our own wisdom to lead us to a brighter future where our past experiences don't taint our current reality.
- Autistic discrimination at work is just one area that causes harm. Our personal relationships are another. Tolerance, understanding and acceptance of the autistic neurotype will lead to autistic inclusion on both fronts.

You can follow me on Social Media:
I'm vocal every day pushing for the respect of diversity, equality and inclusion policies, a recognition that businesses aren't managing problem employees when they employee autists, and cancel culture is a form of bullying leading to discrimination against neurodivergent people.
We know people of difference have a right to be treated as equals. The outdated view that all autistic people have a condition denies us equality in society. The assertion that autistic people have a condition enables the majority to judge us as 'less' or 'faulty' and in need of a cure. It enables complacency. The degree of struggle for some, however, supports the label of having a condition. This is where recognition of a neurotype comes in because it encompasses all autistic people regardless of whether they see their brain function as a condition, whether they experience disabling traits, or whether their traits don't warrant an official diagnosis.
