Thanks for the link Jensen. I've noticed in my now-quite-long-life that the two over-riding things which 99.9% of human beings seem to thrive on are encouragement and being valued for their strengths. (Human beings of any age and any neurology, and not just children).
Tony Attwood has certainly been the great 'breath of fresh air' in his advice to the professional clinician community which tends to impose only their own negative-criteria-perspective on the ASD population and other neurological differences also.
