Certainly, certainly.
Um
I think one of the things that I wanted to convey
First and foremost is the idea that I think that we focus too much on trying to cure autistic people.
And trying to focus too we focus too much on treating autistic people and not enough on trying to help autistic people live more fulfilling lives.
I think what I want autistic people to know is that they are not failed versions of normal.
They are not flawed, they are not um broken as the book says, they are not um
Yeah, you know.
Uh
deficient version of neurotypical.
Rather they are human beings with whole selves and their the way that their brains function and the way that they are as human beings is good and whole.
And that doesn't mean that they don't come with certain impairments.
Doesn't mean they don't come with challenges.
Doesn't mean that they don't have certain
uh differences and don't doesn't mean that, you know, it isn't a disability.
It is a disability.
uh is classified under the Americans Disabilities Act as a disability.
Um
But it ultim but that doesn't mean but that means that it autistic people are entitled to a good and whole life and a world that adapts around them.
Rather than forcing them to change.
