I just got back from helping run a 3-day camp for young adults with autism, (I'll be doing a a write up of it soon) but I just gotta say, wow, the range and spectrum of talents on display was stunning, from the intimate knowledge of the history of steam liners to a non-verbal guy who through writing could express the most eloquent and inspiring words.

Autism may have its difficulties, but it can also be something wonderful.
 
I hope when my son is old enough to go on these sorts of camps that he has that same experience of celebrating his 'wiring'. I wish I'd had something similar!

I could not agree more. It always amazes me that two people can see two completely different things. This is what you see, because this is what you look for. Now if more of us could learn to look for what we love.
