ok,good point maybe i did over sugar coat in my post.i was just saying compared to other disabled people we do better a general.i was not saying there no room for improvment.i was a barns and noble bookstore last week and what i saw is what inspired my post.there was a whole bookshelf in the health section just for autism with a couple add and tourettes books tossed in,a book shelf of 70 80 bookss.i looked in the other parts of the health section.2 books on ms,0 books on spinal cord injuries and 0 books on blindness or deafness.my photographic memory picks up on these things and remembers them.yes there's a long way to go,but were more popular than we realize

If anybody should be pitied, it should be the highly payed volunteers at Autism Speaks. Pity those poor Nazis who think that autism is a life sentence.

Try telling that to those who are isolated and without help it kind of feels like a life sentence. Though I understand why those that are not would be offended. Perhaps more subjectivity is needed. Before the whole prison and senatce advocacy manifest I did say online that I felt like I was in prison but since I got Regional Center services I am nothing like that anymore. People who want to help are not Nazi's just perhaps overzealous in awareness to assure me and others in need of help have what we need. I think they mean well and I am greatfull.
