Away from the media spotlight, there is a growing number of people who view autism differently. This "neurodiversity" movement sees autism not as a disease that must be treated but as a different way of life that must be accepted and supported. They argue that autism is simply a different way of seeing the world, and that "curing" it is neither possible nor desirable.
