Well done,
Took me in completely, at first. My favorite part were the comments by the vice president. Poor thing, have to find another outlet rather than learn something and have to change her mind.
I was a late diagnosis, that felt such relief at having an explanation for my oddities.
I finally had an answer to the daily asked question, “what’s wrong with me (or you when asked by others).
That Autism Speaks, seeks to negate autism as an answer is typical of NT views of autism. Just sticking “disorder” on the end of the diagnosis, colors the view negatively. I prefer syndrome for that reason. I always wondered why there is no diagnosis for “Normal” in the DSM?

Also, ylevental, your comment could be considered quite offensive.

Wait. This is seriously an April fools joke?! I was getting excited, I thought Autism Speaks would actually become a decent organization. I hate April fools, we don’t even celebrate it here. Just when I thought I could actually have a good start to the day.
