Dr. Natalie Engelbrecht of Embrace Autism recently came across information about how a group of bees share genetics with autistics, and behave similarly to us in some ways. It was out of a deep fascination with this that a detailed article was born. In it, she explains the social behaviour of—and between—autistic people and neurotypicals, using honey bees as an analogy. It will make sense, I promise!
