This TikTok explains the Moari word for autism: Takiwatanga. It means, “In their own space and time.”
This was super interesting to me, because I’ve been noodling on writing a post called “In my own time”, about the way I perceive time (which I’ve written about in a previous post).
The takeaway is: join them in their space and time. Instead of expecting them to join you in yours.
