TBH why is everyone so petrified of autism like it’s some sort of disease? I feel like it’s one of the only disabilities that people hyper-fixate on. No one asks if formula causes Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or anything else. I don’t get it. One is born with autism just like one would be born with down syndrome.
I work in special education (high school) and therefore I work with a number of students with autism. I don't get it either. Most of the autistic kids I've worked with are incredible people with a wicked sense of humor.
