Ike,

The graphic was not deleted by WordPress. The image linked back to the host of the original creator (I presume), and they deleted it some time after the “Blogging for Autism Awareness” project had ended.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that the social prejudice people coping with autism face each day is more egregious “than anything that is truly intrinsic to autism itself.”
Your post is both articulate and insightful.

OK speechless here – one of the great posts of all time. I take it that Koplewicz hasn’t read it. He should, indeed he should. Perhaps Ari can send him a copy.

For the most part, Bravo!

I tend to think that on both sides of the ’supportive’ bell curve we find outliers with their own flavors of magnanimous arrogance.

G’day and keep on blogging!

Hey – great post. I have a scattered brain at the moment so coming back to read in full with focus.

I like the ‘finding the right balance between defiance and cooperation.’ I’ll be referring to your post soon.

I’ve added your blog to the blogroll. Thanks for participating.
