Aawww you ladies are so understanding of Autism. It makes me wonder if having PCOS has something to do with it. Where I am from it is so rare to even respect these differences. I don't know if its the infertility part that makes you ladies so maternal or just understanding what it is like to struggle with a misunderstood illness.
It really bothers me how misunderstood it is. It isn't something that needs to be cured, they are simply children who struggle- mostly with communication.
I have actually found that these children (more so high functioning) are the sweetest children ever. They have a zest for life and a compassion I rarely see in non-autistic children.

Come September for my schooling, I am doing a co-op in a PDD classroom with children ages 4 to 8, both high and low functioning.
