Let's face it, Autistics are not going anywhere soon. The majority of NT's are confused by us.
In my experience NT's have more trouble even knowing their limitations never mind accepting them, autistics know thier limitations too well and dwell on them. |

There are people here who desperatly need to see examples of successful autistics and supportive and understing NT's Posti... |

My HFA husband finds our youngest son difficult to be around sometimes because he is so loud. My husband loves our son, but even then he struggles with him. And my HFA husba... |

| Even if the cure made me an uber neurotypical the change would probably be too much at my age. Most importantly as an older Autistic I have a responsibility to my younger autistic relatives and the next generation of autistics. The last thing I want to do is send a message that autism is so bad or t... |

Happy New Year.
My hope for 2016 is that all of you find at least some level of self acceptance, and that our fractious autism community can find some common ground. |
