Despite these distinctions, individuals with autism share an occasional smile that will melt your heart.
Seeing this I wrote it down and talked with the guy in charge of this event for my College. After talking with him (bringing up points that this implies that autism is something wrong) he asked if an autistic person were to write about their autistic nature in a positive light he would change what was put above and replace it with the a more positive note of autism.
Now.
Two things: 1) Should we change this? 2) If so, what to?
I did a search on the net and found the qoute itself is from the viewpoint of Lynn Fraher who teaches at a school for autistic children. And the last sentence was changed for whatever reason. So I want to make clear it's the viewpoint of a NT who teaches children and the qoute was used in a way that I thought it was talking about the ENTIRE spectrum of kids and adults, not about children only. So no lynch mobs okay?
