“… disability is usually defined in terms of what is missing. But autism is an ability and a disability: it is as much about what is abundant as what is missing, an overexpression of the very traits that make our species unique. Other animals are social, but only humans are capable of abstract logic. The autistic outhuman the humans, and we can scarcely recognize the results (Not Even Wrong: Adventures in Autism by Paul Collins).”
