    If you notice a person who appears different in how they hold themselves including physical appearance and body language, then you should never use a person's differences to disrupt their ability to function. This means you don't block in front of them, push behind them or shove them nearby. Never make remarks over how they appear. You should never make denigrating, remarks or make any threatening orders on how they may appear to you.


    A person with hidden differences presence is not for you to trivialise the existence. Never mock or ridicule how you perceive them. Do not offend the person with differences by causing them upset or to hurt their feelings in any way. This includes not spreading exaggerated perceptions or lies or making gossip labels behind their back or in front of them to cause any disrespect or shame.


    it is never acceptable to create a sense of humour at a person of differences expense. They are not clowns and they're not there for you to target them to make fun of. Think of the hurt and the harm you make cause to the health wellbeing & stability.


    It is not your business to misjudge or mistreat them as less important or not cool. Mistreating differences is a lazy excuse for ignorance. So don't bother them and stay out of their way.



  • Noticing Differences

    Change your first impressions, judgements and perceptions when you notice a person with differences may appear.


    A person's differences are not a form of laziness or they do not exist for anyone to face pranks or be treated like a circus clown.


    Because the kind of differences a person lives with is real and it is not curable. So don't use their differences to attack their character or to punish them by provoking hostility and to make impatient attitudes against them.




  • Communicating

    Because memory can affect some people differences it is very important to be patient and not react with demands or to pressurise them when they may be struggling to articulate their point.


    Never use a person's differences to provoke arguments and hostility as you are compromising their stability.


    When sharing important advice and guidance make sure this can be done when they make notes. Never overload them with demands which affect their memory.


    Some experiences are more unique than others unique.  However, do not accuse their experiences or insight as delusional to automatically dismiss their experiences.


    If you about to talk to a person with differences when they are distracting environments or noise in the background always prompt them first by saying their name or a phrase such as "hey" or "you need to hear this". 


    Don't assume the person can pick up all the words. If they do miss the first words do not react impatiently to attack their intelligence and ability. Also to avoid speaking too quickly for too long.



  • Approaching

    If you are approaching someone with differences who have disclosed their specific condition and difficulties to you, never react believing their differences against how they appear. 


    For example, you should never comment to a mild or a moderate of any condition such as "you don't look Autistic" (also ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia or have Social Anxiety.) These remarks implying you have a shallow perception, therefore, you are insulting them especially when they are trying to help you improve understand them.


    Also not use your ethics or morals to disbelieve a person with differences with making remarks such as "laziness" or "making excuses" which assumes that you are belittling them. 


    if you do notice a person with a number with a specific or a number differences who are articulate and display certain levels of intelligence, never respond with hostility or exploit or manipulate them. This is not an acceptable excuse. It is wrong to disapprove of a person with differences who appear intelligent and have a certain amount of knowledge.


    Change your attitude and must accept a person with differences who are intelligent and have certain levels of knowledge. It is not a form of rudeness or toxic personality.



  • Mind

    Never attack a person with a differences memory if it's slightly different from an average person.


    If it takes longer for a person to recall information and cannot able to remember too much information do not react with a disrespectful attitude.


    Certain people with differences struggle with logic and thinking skills. This means they have to make a different kinds of adjustments such as following notes and analyse situations methodically. this does not mean now awkward they are making adjustments so their differences don't cause problems for themselves and others. So never use a person with different kinds of mind & thinking abilities to attack their character or to make lazy judgements such as awkward or disorganised.


    It is very essential not to automatically judge negatively against a person with differences if their mind related abilities can affect their communications outside planned & organised things to say in advance.


    Try to work out positive qualities a person with differences have if mind affects a person's social & communication skills including social conversation, through to serious discussions, arguments, jokes and sense of humour. If in doubt talk and show more interest with a person with differences better. Not only you will discover their strengths, good qualities but also their intentions to adjustable, considerate and take specific responsibilities.


    Be aware of a person mind related limitation and not shame or disrespect a person's differences if they facing situations when they are pressurised to blend into specific environments & face unplanned challenges making it harder to adjust. 


    On occasions, it may be difficult for a person with differences to respond efficiently. So never challenge their abilities without fully understanding their capacity and ability limitation.


    Mind related abilities can also affect physical, practical and on the spot skills. Be aware of a person's limitation of ability and coping mechanisms and the side effects that can occur. However, avoid critical, blaming and disrespectful remarks regarding discipline & morals.
