“Symptoms” of Autism – A Focus on the Positive

By

I was writing a blog post about how autism is never cured. People with autism learn to adjust to societal norms and they learn, in a way, how to rewire their brain for themselves so that they can be successful. But they are never cured. 

In doing that research, I came across this image, one I had never seen before, and it blew me away. What a wonderful truth to be put into words.
