Here is some info I found from an article (my handheld nexus will not let me past at the moment so I will just copy it)

"Another important facet of the neurodiversity perspective is its recognition that difficulties experience by autistic people are always contextual." The neurodiversity perspective contends that living in a society designed for non autistic people contributes to and exacerbates many of the daily living challenges that autistic people experience. This parrallels the adversity encountered by the left handed population decades ago when few tools were designed for left handed persons and most attitudes favoured right handedness as inherently superior."

Need your opinions on this info?

Absolutely true. People need to stop thinking in terms of mental illness and disease when it comes to autism and schizophrenia and bipolar and... you know... the rest. Evolution thrives on diversity.
