I agree with @sirgalahad. The concept of autism spectrum at the very ground level is simply this: we who are Autistic function from a differently wired brain.
We see the details others miss. Often.
We hear the sounds no one else hears, often.
We smell the fragrances so one else does. Often.
We feel the scratchy individual fibers on the tag behind our tee shirts. Often.
We taste the awful bitterness no one else does. Often.
The only Always in our makeup is that we always look for our tribe who is like us and when we find it we rejoice.
Do you know someone who is like this? I do.
I am someone like this.
Living in this Neurotypical world is hard.
If you know someone like this, know this.
They think and love and cry and dream and play and learn.....
With the best of us.
We are not less than.
Read Neurotribes with me.

@mamacita This morning I am feeling very vulnerable. Your words are a lifeboat for me. My simple "Thank you" seems so trite.
