When I was a child, autism didn't exist. Obviously it did, but it wasn't in the DSM then. It was a fringe diagnosis.
I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I'd known early on that I want to crank out spreadsheets for 8 hours a day—for fun.
Anyway, I hope you folks get dealt a better hand than me, now that our condition is real and acknowledged.

valid and reasonable. Yeah, if the greater understanding doesn't improve things than I can't imagine anything else but general societal ableism is to blame.
