This is wonderful! Thank you so much, Mico! The question always comes up: is autism a disability or just “being different”? Articles like yours show that it can be a challenging and unique way to perceive the world around you and it takes extra effort to succeed — but succeed you can and will if you work at it and not give up and have the support of a loving family. Of course, there are many degrees of severity of autism and we can’t make general statements about it because every personal case is unique. Thanks for sharing this!
