You are right, being in the middle of the spectrum is a OK thing. Just think, if you weren't on the spectrum, you would not be you. Then we would not get to know you. I like knowing you.

Good job Jen. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness on their own terms and with their own interests and abilities. Everyone deals with life one step at a time, so you are free to set your own pace and your own goals. I like the positive spin in your videos. You are realistic and you are aware of challenges. I can see that you reflect a lot.

I couldn't really understand what you were saying because the background music was too loud. Perhaps you could add subtitles to it?

why being in the middle of the spectrum can be an OK thing


although People always say being in the middle is not easy There are some positives about being in the middle

When it comes to Being in the middle of the spectrum, honestly in can be challenging. Many days give me confusion and frustration but, being in the middle can also mean you could see more perspectives and other People sometimes.

Some People being in the middle of the spectrum understand more about autism parents and the lower functioning population as well as seeing points the higher functioning population as well.

Being in the middle sometimes get help you figure out why people with lower functioning relatives sometimes feel like they need a cure for their relative, as well as understanding those People with Asperger that believe that autism is the next step evolution.

I do believe that even though some aspects of autism need to be accommodated in different ways, we need to find a balance.

Also, it may be hard to understand, but possibly People with lower functioning and mid functioning autism could look into other high functioning autistic people and know they can achieve goals in their own way.
Know you can do anything no matter your level of severity!

Even if the accommodations or work arounds don't exist yet because again,

we all matter!
