Some people I didn't know about are there eg Keanu Reaves and Nietzche [wrong spelling] as well as Franz Kafka [I aced an essay, my perspective on his book Metamorphosis and won a prize[

the website http://www.neurodiversity.com/main.html looks alright as well [link at the end]

the world would be a much worse place without autistic people

we might not have mass produced motor vehicles, lightbulbs and some of the greatest music and art and literature
we wouldnt know important things about science and the universe

I really don't like when things cannot be proven as facts. People cannot prove these people had autism. It is annoying.

my old teacher may be Sweden's biggest expert on Kafka and has written several books about him. In one of his books there is a chapter about why he believes Kafka was an aspie. He actually got asked by a student (he works with kids who have AS) if he thought Kafka was an aspie. That's how he started thinking about it and since he works with aspie kids, he easily recognized many of the signs of AS in Kafka.

I hate politics.

What is the reason for this post and this kind of social awareness?

1. Self-esteem.

2. Abortion politics and autism.

I have autism diagnosed. Why is the label so important? Personally I do not like when people call me autistic. I am my own personality, person and not a made up pathologic concept. My name is Nathan, I was called Nathan and then people called me autism. Irritating.
