Hi, I just watched this amazing talk from an autistic person and I wanted to share it- my favourite quote is « We don’t need a cure for autism, only for ignorance »

Watching this has made me wonder whether I should start telling more people about being autistic for the sake of raising awareness about autism. I think so many difficulties could be avoided if there was a better understanding of and greater openness towards difference in society (and not just autism but differences of any kind), but sadly there seems to still be a lot of stigma.
