Thank you Laura, your quote is simple yet spot on! This often misunderstood condition is still squeezed into a stereotype by non autistic people. how we change this I am unsure, well, without a lot of massive changes in education for a start. We are a society of tests and budgets, criteria has to be met to receive funding for extra support in classes and home. so the need to box autism into a one size fits all means others can assess it and then pinpoint the funds and levels of funding to an individual. so frustrating…if it is ok i will post your quote on my website .
