[quote=Anonymous]My husband and son are high-functioning autistic. One of my neighbor's son also has ASD. My other neighbor's husband too. All different degrees and presentations of autism, with different associated disorders or learning disabilities, and of course, different skills and strengths. So if I hear someone say casually, but without malice, that so-and-so is or could be on the spectrum... I don't mind at all and do not find it offensive in the least. The CRITICAL point is that their words and tone are not meant unkindly, but more along the lines of needing to accommodate certain foibles.[/quote]
