Ex...A person is an expert on their own experiences. Expertise outside of that requires pro-active investigation and practice in understanding things which are not exclusively personal experience. In essence- it's the ability to make predictions and to give another expert in the same area but with different specialisation a sufficient tutorial that even they can also make those same predictions. <br /><br />When I tell other Autistics about my experiences, only some of them will understand even though they are also Autistic- those without that advantage are less likely to get it. But when I tell someone with a similar understanding of social security, the Welfare Reform Act 2012 and statistics something about them which relates to Autism- they have a much greater advantage as an expert than they would from just being Autistic. <br /><br />An Autistic can tell a minister how policy will affect themselves, but I can tell a minister how a policy will affect most Autistics without claiming to be speaking for other Autistics.
