I'm hardly ever around autistic children that I know of. I do know of several students at my high school whom I'm almost certain have some form of Autism.

I told a therapist once that I liked odd people and she said "Yes, you feel a kinship". I guess it works both ways. Eccentric people feel safer to me.
