[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the link! Reading the book right now and 17% through it. The book is awesome. Our son has been called "classic Asperger's" by his developmental ped and also has ADHD, combined type, so I've read a lot of books and this book, the parts I've read so far explains the history of the autism spectrum very well. A must read. I agree that society is "better served... with research funds directed instead toward helping people live with autism..." At least in my family, we know where DS "gets it" - As my BIL saids, "Just look at our family". It's in our genes. The premise of the book is that autism is not something that needs to be "cured" but that autism is a normal part of being human, part of our neurodiversity and should be accepted as such. [/quote]
