    People always say that autistic people are just "different" from everyone else and that the world is built around "neurotypicals" and that's why they don't fit in/do as well. I disagree. Literally everyone is different. Your Grouping over like 98% of humanity under one box. there's more...

    What are your controversial opinions regarding the autism spectrum?

    Saying Autism shouldn't have an available cure is like saying fire fighters should not exist because a fire kept you warm on a camping trip.
