We Do NOT R E C O V E R From Autism

I read a profile of a woman on Tweet who is trying to get her child to the 'recovery' stage of autism.  If you, your child, or someone you know has autism or Asperger's understand one very important point. We do NOT recovery from autism because we do not have a disease. Autism and Asperger's is a way of being; a way you might not like or understand-but it is an essential humaniness that goes beyond the understanding of many neurotypical people. Indeed, many such individuals have created an industry to try to tell parents that their child will 'recover'-your child will not!  You, if you have autism or are an aspie person, will not recover- do you really want to?  Honestly, if you were able to go and full and wholly be in the world of a neurotypical would you want to stay there?  People must learn that those who do not have autism or Asperger's are gifted in ways you will never understand; it is a privilege to have this form of thinking, of perceiving or cognition.  It is the rest of the world who must learn to understand us-more and more people will appear with autism and or Asperger's.  I believe there are very clear and specific reasons for this none of which have anything to do with diet, vaccinations or similar. Money should be spent on teaching the rest of the world to understand and live with our growing population-we are not going to go away. IGNORANCE IS THE GREATEST DISABILITY; A DISABILITY IS REALLY A DIFFERENT ABILITY!
