The thing about being autistic is that you gradually get less and less autistic, because you keep learning, you keep learning how to behave. It's like being in a play; I'm always in a play.
Autistic children are very difficult to take care of, especially severely autistic ones. When I was 4, I had almost no language; when I was 3, I had none at all.
It's much more work for the mother of an autistic child to have a job, because working with an autistic child is such a hassle until they go to school.
People on the autistic spectrum tend to get fixated on what they think.
