I've been a child with an ASD but my understanding is only from my perspective. There are others here with an ASD who offer a slightly different perspective because their brains will be wired up to slightly different things. Some will be very verbal, others very musical, others very mathematical, etc. And the wiring to which bits of the sensory system overload/underload varies too. It's why it's difficult for me to ever be a formal adviser to individuals - not only do I lack enough theory of mind to know exactly what they need to know, but there's a danger that I'd answer for just me rather than being able to think differently for a different situation. It's why people need to take a range of opinions I think.
Having said that, some specialist advice has been very even with the training they have, so I think there is a usefulness to asking those who experience this stuff first-hand.
It's like an autism charity I'm helping at the moment who organised a conference for how to help those with an ASD, and completely failed to realise that the venue, instructions, methods and everything else were entirely non-asd-compatible. Understanding something in theory, and applying it in practice, are often two different things. They couldn't hear the deafening machinery noise, they didn't hear the echoey building, they didn't realise the teacups were too unstable for many of us, they wouldn't have known about the sensory overload from socialising beforehand/eye contact etc. There was no safe space to escape to, no-one had checked the lights for flickering. And this was a room full of experts on the subject
At least they've been really great about saying "oops" and adjusting it for the next one
