about awesome scribblers united
Hello and thank you for visiting my website. I'm Eliza Jane, a freelance writer dedicated to promoting autistic inclusion and raising awareness by writing articles about autism to end autistic discrimination.
I post regularly on instagram, facebook, and linkedin, and publish FREE monthly articles on this site on the last Wednesday of the month. I've also published a book called Smash the Boulder which 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.
There's a considerable amount of work ahead to reverse misconceptions and integrate autistic people into our workplaces, but this can only be achieved by a radical change in public perception. The existence of an autistic neurotype is a conversation we need to have.
If you'd like to know more, please click on the SMASH THE BOULDER tab above. I am autistic and you can find out more about me by clicking the ABOUT ME tab. (On mobile devices, page tabs can be accessed from the menu at the top of the screen.)
There's a lot to think about...
History tells us how tough the road ahead will be, but change isn't optional...
Autistic people don't want a cure... just acceptance. Autistic brain function isn't wrong... it's different. There are pros and cons in both neurotypes...
Most businesses have policies that require disciplinary action against autistic traits. In real terms, this means autistic people are being disciplined for reasons that are directly attributable to their disability regardless of whether they have a diagnosis...

smash the boulder: it's the decent thing to do...
The knee-jerk reaction that society is over-diagnosing autistic people must stop before it does more harm to a minority group who have already been harmed too much. 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.
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 could 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. Those who can work and live independently, need access to the job market and security within it, to live productive and, most importantly, authentic lives.
The obstacles we face are the collective strength of brainwashing passed down from previous generations and a reluctance to change the narrative about an ostracised and misunderstood group.
I write articles about autism to provide the information society needs to build informed opinions, but will the 'neurotypical' majority step up to the plate and endeavour to understand us, as we are required and expected, to understand them?
Why wouldn't they?
Easy learning...
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 from the harms caused by ignorance and intolerance.
- 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.
- 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 leading to autistic inclusion matters on both fronts.

I'm vocal every day pushing for autistic inclusion, an end to autistic discrimination, and the recognition of an autistic neurotype.
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.
