This message isn't to 'a large group', as most psychologists + families see we are beautiful: ...but as an autistic person, per se, it is very distressing that USA 'professionals' talk about us like we are diseased. We have difficulties; AND talents, we are angels, not retards.

It is not accurate, or moral, to wish that we were different: WE don't!

Yes we have great difficulties; but only to begin with; until we find our centre. Please then, don't reject/'cure' our SELVES! (Not that one can.)
