This is innovation. However the key to this innovation is the economic benefits to those without disabilities as well. While my organization focuses more so on social strategy and manufacturing opportunities what will hinder this kind of progress is the seen benefits to the economy as a whole. Items such as the pursuit for self-sufficiency, the employment such as for support workers to train employees and non-tech related employment inclusions. Not everyone with autism or a DD is tech savvy. I simply know enough to get by and will never be a programmer for instance.
The PR for very high functioning individuals in the opportunity creation field is a different set of challenges then that of inclusion opportunity pursuits for individuals that are more likely substantially disabled. This does not mean individuals that are tech savvy are or are not substantially disabled. Individuals with A.S do not qualify for Regional Center where I live.

The peer politics creating intolerance toward compassion is coming to an end. Pity accusations, indifferent advocacy against isolation awareness and for pride in an image of autism is injustice.
