[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an adult with autism. Please don't mistake "outgrowing" for "learning how to adapt and blend in." A kid who at age 3 does not normally make eye contact can be taught that he needs to. Through intervention, he may finally learn that to get people to stop bugging him, he should look at their eyes. Eye contact will never be his natural inclination, and because of this, he is still autistic despite the fact that he was, for lack of a better word, trained to appear normal.[/quote] thanks for your input! sometimes I wonder if "outgrowing" in some cases means the NTs just accepting that someone can be different, yet function successfully and have a rewarding life.
