Why are autistic people still portrayed on websites as having learning difficulties etc? it is demeaning and is continuing the link between learning difficulties and Autism. I am aware that some Autistic People have learning difficulties but, you know what, so do some non-autistic people. I am trying to help my bright and highly intelligent daughter who happens to be autistic but who will not have anything to do with organisations that think she has LDs. I even found one website that said that autistic people have communication incapacities. As I said I know some do but to perpetuate the myth that we are all Rain Man is grossly offensive.
