#unbiased/balanced views-neither pro cure nor obsessively anti cure, writers who can be open minded towards all groups.
#inclusion and acceptance of the whole spectrum,not just high or low functioning,not interested in hardcore pro curists who think they speak for lfa and and assume we have no mind to make opinions of our own,or the hypocritical neurodiverse supporters who talk about all the qualities of hfa,how it shoud be accepted and never cured whilst promoting the offensive and prehistoric belief that those of us with lfa have no qualities,are suffering and both want and need curing.
#stuff about adults with autism especialy.

I like to read about scientific research on the causes of autism and autistic symptoms.

Pretty much the same as you.
Even though ive always known i have it and spent most of my life in schools with kids who have it,
I have not really heard or seen it discussed much. So im mainly enjoying what i see posted here.
There is a lot of more complected and scientific stuff about autism that overloads me
too much right now, but it is trickling in slowly.

Statistics and actual factual information.

I loathe how almost everything I read seems to reshape or completely contradict something that I've previously taken into account. It's incredibly hard to find information that is precise, concise, and legitimate. Even the government and educational websites contradict one another, and that's something I can't comprehend. My mind alone is too fallible a source to 'fill in the gaps' regarding such important information, which I suppose may make this whole vision of mine seem ironic. >.>

I to read about the Autism Acceptance mentality and movement. I like to read news stories about people on the spectrum that are positive. I also enjoy reading about autism advocates. I also like reading articles on the ASAN and Rethink Autism websites.
