Meet others living with autism: Come say hi

Hello this fine Tuesday!
In reference to a conversation we started a little while back, I happened upon an article that is spot on.
How To Teach Autistic Pupils By Autistic Pupils. I am on my phone so I cannot give you the name of the person who wrote it just now.
I will. In the next few minutes.
Excellent read. Adheres to the "Nothing about us without us" philosophy, of which I am a staunch supporter.
My eye surgeries went great. I have no restrictions whatsoever. Good thing. I have a lot of reading to catch up on.
My husband is still disabled, temporatily, we hope. His hand is so swollen and they are treating him "as if" he has gout. It is so painful he hasnt driven in three weeks. His MRI results will be ready tomorrow morning when we go back to the doctor.
If nothing shows up we are going to ask for a sonogram to rule out blood clots.
I feel so blessed to be a part of this family of friends. The support here is absolutely amazing.
Everyone, check out this article. Read it. It doesn't matter if you are ASD, the parent or Grandparent of a child who is ASD, an educator, a therapist.....
It will benefit you greatly.
Peace and light,
Mamacita Jane

This article is very intriguing, @mamacita, and though I read all of it, I still want to go back and drill down into the many links included.
One thing I wanted to ask about from this article, @auntieoakley @mamacita @gingerw @sirgalahad is about this: Many autistic young people need routine (but not necessarily sameness).
When I think of routine, I think of sameness (e.g., brush your teeth at 8 p.m. every night, or eat a bowl of Cheerios, like my 11-year-old, every day right after you get home from school). What is the differentiation the author is referring to here between routine and sameness?
