Hello
Accepting the diversity of humans means also accepting the autistics.
I am an autistic (so-called "Asperger") and I use to host guests with AirBNB and they are happy (and me too).
I would like to host autistics, and to help AirBNB (and hosts) to understand how to be autistic-friendly.
This is a vast subject.
I am a specialist of autism (I mean that I understand autism, which is not the same thing as what is generally thought and spread).
After hosting all kinds of persons during about 11 months, I found that I'm more open and less "afraid" of meeting (and hosting) unknown persons.
AirBNB revenues are helping us to pay the rent for our headquarters for our autistics organization (the apartment).
It is highly important for the autistics to be able to travel and to do new experiences.
But it can be very challenging, both for them and for the hosts, if there are no appropriate accommodations, starting with some understanding of autism.
Not to mention that some people don't even know that they are autistic...
Maybe someone from AirBNB can react to this message.
Thanks for reading.
