Autism is not a choice. Acceptance is. Imagine if the opposite was true.
Hugs may come less frequently from someone with autism but when they do, you know it means everything.
I like to think of my son as having an extra puzzle piece rather than missing one.
Autism; It's not new just because you haven't heard of it until now.
If a person calls themself 'autistic' and you tell them they have to use 'person first language'... you're not putting the person first.
Never ask for someone's thoughts on autism unless you are prepared to hear a story that doesn't resemble your own.
