I have never been cool, and I never will be. So, to hear people claim that being autistic is a ‘trend’ is as laughable as it is offensive. I never wanted a label to be special. The autism label has opened a door to understanding how my brain works and who I am. I have no desire to be cool, and plenty of desire for knowledge and acceptance.

I read 'Catcher in the Rye' as a teenager and it spoke to me. I re-read it a couple of years ago and all I could see was that Holden was privileged rich brat, who whined a lot.
