What represents an “Autistic Solution”; what are their most important characteristics; what do they symbolize? These are the essential questions that need to be clearly understood by ourselves and others.
To gain this understanding we shall begin with a physiological conception of autism – scientifically recognized as a selective neurodivergence of the organism. What characterizes autistic neurodivergence unambiguously both from the outside and from the inside perspectives is the symbiotic nature of the being. The autistic neurodivergence genetically engineered by the selective self-developing organism of an autistic being under the perplexing impact of the ‘surrounding’ world is inherently symbiotic. The symbiotic nature of the organism is a fundamental characteristic that most profoundly symbolizes Autism.
Autism is consequently a physiologically adapted state of being that is expressly symbiotic in nature, unifying in a human embodiment the symbiotic nature of our individual cells.
The subsequent solutions made by this organism in regard to its own self-development and its relations to the ‘outside’ world as a result would be preferentially symbiotic. We note that this would lead to convergence with what is known as Universal Approach. We shall also note that symbiotic universal solutions are at the core of human progress and are exemplified by the principles of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, and omnipresent Free Will. Autistic people, disabled people, people of color, and many others are in a dire need of symbiotic solutions; our society is in dire need of symbiotic solutions; our world is in dire need of symbiotic solutions! As it specifically concerns us [autistic people], these symbiotic solutions can’t be made without us – they must involve us. The current “autism solution” is a solution of parasitic exploitation of our people, and we seek to abolish it.
Knowledge is homeopathic. A hint is all that is required; they are the catalysts that let us form the structures of knowledge. Hints are gifts which the world bestows on all the beings. This is how we all learn.
We must be open to receive. We must be allowed to explore. Learning is person centered and self-directed, but human wisdom is collaborative and social. To learn we need to embrace both. To teach we must learn to facilitate both.
Here we present our solutions that directly affect our life in human society and the world of today. These are Autistic solutions that are symbiotic, universal, and rely on the principles that humanity has attained and which we must all fight to uphold.

Self-Determination and Supported Decision Making [ASAN model] as a solution challenging Guardianship, institutionalizations, and intrusive care-taking – these concepts apply to both adults and children.
Universal Education and Natural Learning – as an all inclusive universal Educational paradigm of the future – in alliance with ASDE and symbiotic movements.
Redefined Intervention and Transforming Autism – a guideline and practical approach – in collaboration with the empowered child and true allies.
