My son Michael is 9 and has to be the last one, tiger eye! He is yet to be discovered, and it hurts! Tiger eye, also being the eye of a little tiger who strangles us, rips everything, and causes alot of stress for his family, yet he is strong and powerfully built, and sees a different world to us. At times he is just a fury cute thing, I want to cuddle, always has been good looking and loved.

quick answer is they don't have imitation ability, which help us learn and socialize and exist according to the outside world.learn to paint if your blind, learn to play music deaf.

Google Dave Spicer, include autism in the search, and you can find the man who wrote the text, which is also on the Autism Network International website. You can ask him for permission to use it, just as I asked him permission to use it in this video.

Many autistic people, including the man who wrote the text, don't see saying "autistic person" as any worse than saying "Catholic person". Nobody assumes that calling someone a Catholic person or even a Catholic is, in that context, "putting the religion before the person," so it's the same with autism for some people. In this context it's better to call people what they prefer to be called, and that varies from person to person.

It was a description of different people's autistic traits, written by an autistic person. His name is Dave Spicer if you want to look him up and ask him, he has a website. Just make sure to include autism in the search because there are a few different Dave Spicers.

I like the analogy. It seems appropriate because most autistic folks including myself are fascinated with gems and minerals.

heheeheheeShe did something hidden.She described autistic people but the traits she listed are all traits of many people if not all to some degree.x = the stone traitsIf Autistic people = xand Non-Autistic people = xThen Autistic people = Non-Autistic peopleWe're the similar and all exist with life.

Alas, Autism is a blessing and a curse, while you have quite an advanced mind, you will never fit in socially. What good is a very high IQ if nobody can test you?What good is an advanced vocabulary if your communication skills are terrible?
