 I started off with an idea of what autism was and why autistic's face so many problems in our society. My interviews with Rick gave me a lot of insight into how someone's opinions can change about the condition. He also taught me just how crucial getting an in-depth personal understanding of Asperger's is to the world. With Michelle, she gave a great outsider's perspective on autism in children and what may be at the heart of the problems they face in adult life. And lastly, Peter helped me understand the actual issues autistic struggle with and just how important small acts of kindness and understanding are to the lives of these people.
