People with all disabilities can be successful if people give them a chance. I like this video, because it shows everybody that people with Down Syndrome aren't useless. This gives me great hope to how people with disabilities could be seen in the future as people who have something to contribute to their communities. :)

This is why I'm Pro-Life.

The guy in the article is an Aspie, he is a manager at a security company in Sweden.
http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article16102116.ab

Like so many others, he was severely bullied. The article does not go into the Asperger aspect that much except to say that the understanding for autism is really-really low - but mostly because he wanted to speak about bullying more.
