| Discrimination certainly exists, but my main point was that autism often comes with certain deficits (or even comorbids) which can make it difficult to get and maintain employment. Many autistics struggle with executive function issues and hyperfocus. Hyperfocus can be good if one can manage to get ... |

| ^ I wasn’t suggesting that there aren’t a lot of successful people with autism or that there isn’t a great deal of variation in terms of ability. I was merely engaging with the statistic (presented by someone else) which demonstrates that there are many who aren’t so successful and why I think the m... |

| The unemployment rate isn’t solely about discrimination, nor is the suicide rate. Not solely, but mostly, largely. I’m skeptical that that’s the biggest factor. Many people with autism are disabled. Many have comorbids as well. If the government supported those who can’t maintain employment as it o... |

| What do you mean? It seems like you are promoting autistic supremacy in a couple of recent comments. Nope, just separation. I just want them to leave us alone in peace. I don't believe coexistence is feasible. I also don't believe us to be superior. Coexistence seems to be working for a lot of auti... |

| The benefits are contingent on factors I already alluded to in a previous post. As a former special education teacher and as someone who subbed throughout my school district, I had some autistic students who loved school and for disparate reasons. Some liked the structure and routine, close relation... |

| I wouldn’t say that the traditional school system is necessarily awful. The quality of schools and, by extension, the quality of education depends on factors like their location, funding, administration, teacher-to-student ratio, and teachers. Some people have awful experiences in traditional school... |

| Montessori is great for a lot of people, but I don’t think it would be right everyone, including all autistics. These sorts of threads often seem to suggest that there’s less diversity among the autistic population than there is. The original allistic inhabitants, if they truly so wished, would be a... |
