Just from experience as a Special Education teacher, besides a "mixed" bag of 11-14 year old Emotionally disturbed students, I also worked exclusively in a class-room of Autistic students and believe my 92 year old MIL has Asperger's. I think Autism is a neorodiversity. While cures are wonderful, suggest we look at behaviors wanted to deal in our world, not disease causes and cures. What is desired effect?
My additional effort was having Autistic play dates with my toddler twins with Autistic friends. My son and his friends always included an Asperger's boy in their activities in High School, later working where they worked. People often fear those unlike themselves. If nothing else my own kids got exposed to diversity.

I'm 40 and my GP told me yesterday that it's highly likely that I have Asperger's. I've suspected as much since our son was diagnosed with the same in 2011. As we went through the enormous questionnaire the paediatrician was using as part of the diagnostic process, I'd be answering yes to many of the questions in regards to our son, and yes in my head in regards to myself. Things I'd never even realised were related to Asperger's were included in the questions. At the end of it he smiled at me and said, "YOU answered 'yes' to a lot of those, too, didn't you?"
So yeah, I had an inkling but it wasn't ever anything I pursued as there wasn't really any point. |
