I was on the fence until the recent post quoting Robison. I'm a senior in college,Autism Speaks implying that I'm some kind of non-functional, mental challenged child was almost enough to make me break my cover and post the link in his article to facebook.  |

| I've flapped my hands since I was 11, and I do it when I'm excited and sometimes a little bit when I'm stressed, but only at home.
