I read all, but the 1st article. They are awesome articles. I think I have better problem skills, too. Also, in my experience of meeting other autistics, I think that autism is only a disability for those who define it as such and feel that they need to be cured, rather than feeling comfortable and capable in their own shoes.

What? A well know scientific magazine portraying autism as a nonnegative thing? What have I missed?

I've been a fan of Dawson and Mottron's work for years now.
