Autistic people have always been here.

You institutionalized us. Imprisoned us. Assaulted us. Lobotomized us. Killed us. Left us for dead. Abandoned us.

You can say the same of the mentally ill. “Nice” (note the sarcastic quotes) society doesn’t like the different.

Try as you might, you will never silence us

Mostly because we won't shut the hell up about our special interests but I digress

100 percent true.

Misinformation about those with ASD is so damaging, hurtful, unnecessary and inhumane.

Have you seen this astonishing / eye opening book from this extraordinary autistic thinker + creator?
No one will be the same who reads this master work.

I have not! I need to read it.

She said she could have prevented many accidents, like rockets blowing up if they had let her see the plans first.

Amazing!

EVERYONE needs to read this . There’s a 2 page test in the center of the book to show the range in the spectrum. I scored 14 out of 16 for visual thinkers. At the other end of the scale are lawyers + editors.
