Autism Appreciation Day

'Our intellectual advantage and our supposed social deficits are two sides of the same coin, and any attempts at "correcting" the latter will diminish that advantage. [...] It’s our failure to conform to society, it’s our failure to think the way others think, it’s our failure to subscribe to group dynamics and groupthink, it’s our failure to give in to peer pressure, it’s our failure to blindly follow tradition, it’s our failure to unquestioningly obey authority, and it’s our failure to accept the status quo that have driven human progress for tens of thousands of years, thanks to autistic individuals who successfully resisted attempts at being mainstreamed.'
with more than 164,000 members in which autistic people answer all the questions you may have.
