How I Came to Be Autistic

Published by Charles Simmins on March 21, 2018

I was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum at the age of 59. I was recovering from my first major depressive episode and my personal physician and my therapist both thought that I may be autistic Order Ditropan Online no Prescription http://allfreethings.com/cefaclor/index.html https://sai.org/lozol/index.html , on the spectrum as what was once called Aspergers.

What Is Autism to Me

Published by Charles Simmins on March 21, 2018

In the sidebar, under the I Have Questions topic is a page with some “official” definitions of autism. The problem is buykamagrausa.com http://antolaphoto.com/allopurinol/index.html , to me, that defining the medical condition seems to require a permanent label for the patient.

There are two primary schools of thought with respect to autism. Many people see it as a disability kupbezrecepty.com thirty one gifts , a disaster for the patient and their family, and requiring “curing” and determination of a cause. Many adults on the spectrum Prednisolon tabletten Rezeptfrei kaufen , including me, would disagree strongly. Autism is a condition based upon a different “wiring” in the human brain. Some abilities and traits are enhanced while others are altered Buy Levitra online , changed from “normal”. We’re just not typical humans. What is wrong with being atypical? Should autistics be forced into behaviors that they are not wired to perform with ease? Children on the autism spectrum, with a loving family and wise professional care, can grow up to be adults with abilities and talents, can hold jobs, and have a social life. Their life may not appear to be mainstream, or “normal”, but they are happy, productive, valuable members of a diverse society.
