    Yes, but that’s not due to autism, that’s due to the way society treats autistic people.

        It’s beginning to change in the academic world. The deficit model is falling for the difference/diversity paradigm.

        My daughter has it, and I’d say about 5-10 years ago it changed. The amount of acceptance is so much higher than it used to be. Obviously we need work, but hell in my city there are special times at both grocery stores and movie theatres for neuro-diverse people. The difference to a decade ago is extreme.
