Autism is often described as a developemental disorder that affects social and communication skills. But if you were to ask a person with autism how autism makes him or her different, what would that person say?

I don’t want a president who is “concerned” about people with disabilities. I want one who has a plan and intends to follow through.

Pets are good for anyone and especially for people with autism. Since we can’t have dogs or cats in our house, we have birds. David’s speech problems disappear when he talks to them.

If David had his way, nothing but mashed potatoes would pass his lips. Our dentist wants to change that.

David works at a grocery store, but he’d prefer to be the boss. So what would a store run by someone with autism look like?

David makes me forget sometimes that there’s a little boy inside who may just need a mom’s comfort.

The National Institute of Mental Health won’t be studying the controversial autism treatment after all.

I want David to learn independence, but I want to be there with him while he’s being independent.

Studies again show no link.
