[quote=Anonymous]So... back to the original intent of this thread... I personally think that each life-stage that an ASD person confronts will be met with different strengths and weaknesses. I think it's awesome that Toni Braxton thinks that her child's strengths now outweigh his weaknesses. Does this mean he is cured? That is not clear. Thirteen is still very very young. What happens when this child starts high school or college or career? Will other challenges rear up? As for "the spectrum," I have a child diagnosed with mild ASD (yes, we are certain and confident in the diagnosis) and I have to say that my child has serious impacts throughout his day because of autism. The "spectrum" is not a "joke" and it is not even indicative of functioning because strengths and weaknesses are distributed so wildly. It truly is an invisible disability that only someone on the outside would consider to be a "joke." [/quote]
