On being told that my 6 year old son has Autism on Tuesday i have found the ignorance of some people shocking, one person   Family friend said well he doesnt look autistic. for heavens sake i mean can any of you tell me what they mean and what would make a child look Autistic. im so annoyed yes in many ways my son looks every bit the perfect child but who gives people the right to say what a child with Autism or an ASD is too look like. agrhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • Many people have it and dont know it.  I know, I am one of the many adults, some quite old, who turned out to have it.

    I did a year in the East 15 drama school in my early 20's.  I didn't hear anyone call me autistic, as they asked me to leave for a lack of sensitivity...  True.

    The stereotypical vision of a stimming, non-eye contact, hyperactive autistic is a fraud.  The so-called cures just train kids to act like neurotypicals.  Ultimately, socializing as they term it?  Its all put-on and learned.  Neurotypicals do it as a way of life.  Protocols, trendy ways to acting...

    Sounds like your son is high-functioning, which is our competitive society is good.  Actually, such comments are a good sign!
