[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get so frustrated by these types of posts. If you want to know autism, then interact with the children and families you know. Just like anyone, they are different people with different personalities, strengths, interests and yes, challenges. Autistic people are not a list of symptoms, not a handful of deficits to be parsed with strangers on the internet. Just be careful that you are not treating these people like circus freaks, cause that's the vibe I'm getting from all this speculating about levels of functioning and comparing one against the other. [/quote] It appears that OP was interacting with her family with a son on the spectrum, but is coming to find out that the info she got from that family may be misleading. People, especially close family, should feel they can be open and not give out false information, then people wouldn't speculate.[/quote]
