ABLA Project

The “ABLA Project” (A Better Life for the Autistic persons) is a project of international collaboration between all the appropriate persons and entities, proposed by the Autistan Diplomatic Organization in order to improve the life of the autistic persons by reducing the misunderstandings and problems, and which relies on the Autistance system.

This concept of practical assistance for autistic individuals is complementary of autistan.org, which is about the cause of autism in general (especially with the public authorities) and not for individual cases.

This project of mutual help system is necessary because public agencies and other agencies do not provide (or very little) the necessary assistance to autistic people (and their families).

Like all our concepts, here it’s the autistic persons who are at the center of the project.
But, contrary to the concepts “Autistan”, here we – the autistics – are at the center but we are not directing everything.
We want a genuine system of self-help and sharing based on the idea that everyone needs everyone, and that neither autistic people nor parents can reduce our difficulties by doing things alone.

One of the basics of this concept is the fact that every autistic person needs a personal network of self-help. It is obvious, but it rarely exists.

This project can produce results only with the participation of a large number of persons.

In order to have a single workspace, the “Autistance” concept also manages the realization (but not the direction) of all the projects for the other concepts and sites (Autistan, and other sites “non-Autistan”, for example in France), thanks to our Project Management system.

Please note also that, in spite of the fact that some Working Groups here may help some of our other sites which have an “activist” or even “political” action, Autistance.org is only a tool, is not an organisation, has no “activist” nor “political” role (nor intentions of such), and that the “strategical” decisions are not taken here.
Therefore, the discussions about policies, principles, theories, hypotheses, and so on, are not in the scope of Autistance.org, are generally counter-productive here, and may be prohibited in most areas of the site (in the Project Management system and in all the public sections of the Forum).

Last but not least: in the Video Chats, the registered users can discuss about what they want: preferably about helping the autistic people of course, but these chat rooms are not made for “working” and no decision will be taken there.
Indeed, all the important steps of the “works” have to be made by written (in particular, in the Project Management system), in order:

• to be able to guarantee equity for the persons who did not participate to a live meeting;
• to analyse them later (for example, to understand errors);
• and also in order to re-use them as examples for similar projects (or solutions) in the future by other autistic persons or families anywhere in the world.

There is nothing to pay to use Autistance.org, nor hidden fees: everything is free.
The persons who want to help us to pay our bills can make a little donation through Autistan.shop.
