Courtesy of a Facebook friend and fellow autism parent who would rather I not use her name (her post today was in a closed group of parents to severe autism). The fact that she doesn’t want me to use her name reflects how nasty some in the autism community can be regarding those of us acknowledging that autism isn’t merely “a difference” for many people, but a severe, devastating disorder.
Nothing to Celebrate
