I mean this with all seriousness.
I really learned a lot from your posts.
Thank you for sharing your ideas.

I have noticed that the difference between non-verbal and verbal means a lot to others.
Also how independent one is (as in how much assistance one needs) means a lot to others.

For example, due to my sheer ignorance, I never would have guessed some of the struggles that some autistic people deal with.
I have been labeled as aspergers now (I'm thirty-eight) but when I was a child I would labeled as "more autistic" except it the early 80s and I was quite verbal and learned to read at an early age.

You're right there! I was diagnosed as severely autistic when I was younger, but now I think it's probably developed into m'ild autism'.
