opening line -
"My son was diagnosed with autism in the spring of 2004, when he was two. It was like being hit across the face with a baseball bat."
i suppose that's an accurate description of the effects of autism but still..

"Autism is a brain development disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior."
a far cry from being hit in the face with a baseball bat, id say that was fairly insulting to those whom have autism.
I have quite a few autistic traits, but i would never seek to be tested or diagnosed for autsim, because i do not see it as a disease or a handycap, the traits are just a part of my character and personality, and i am proud to be who i am, so to call them a disorder is quite wrong i feel

It's looking like our kid's got some of the Autistic spectrum, but we're getting very comfortable with the idea.
Besides, he kicks the arse of other kids at english and maths.
EAT THAT NON-AUTISTIC FUCKERS!

although i'm pretty fucked up,i'm certainly not as bad as others - i just drink, try and talk to others and get on with shit.not exactly being hit round the face with a baseball bat,but fell face first off my bike once,and it hurt a little more than the autism.
oh, and i want the "i got da asperger's" shirt from the other link xD
