The neurodiversity movement is an outgrowth of the disability rights movement.
And the disability rights movement did not get started by people leaving the people in wheelchairs behind.
You know, it's a movement for everyone in society, in a sense, and certainly for all kinds of disabled people.
So thinkingautism.com, I'm pretty sure that's the URL, is a great model of a blog that is read by a lot of parents, that is staffed by parents, but that also includes the voices of autistic adults, some of whom are also parents.
So I think that's a paradigm for an institution that's
the future.
Another thing that I would recommend to your audience is a different book than mine.
Uniquely Human by Barry Prezant.
Yes, it is
Oh, I can put in a good word for
He is wonderful.
And, you know, if your child has difficult behavior, reading Uniquely Human is
will give you ways of thinking about it.
You know, there's not much overlap with my book, but the two books came out virtually the same month, I think.
And both Barry and I immediately recognized that they were like sister books in a way.
My book was the history and his book was the lessons of the applied history, in a sense.
And one of the reasons why Barry's book is so good is because he's listened to autistic people
both his clients and other autistic people for decades now.
So it's informed by autistic experience, but it's a book that's really written for parents.
So that's a good book.
