People don't listen. They believe what they want to believe. Some people know NOTHING about Autism Spectrum Disorder.
I think that Greta Thunberg and the president of the United State has it, as well as his son Barron.
I have no problem with the amazing abilities of anyone with Aspergers Syndrome. They are often smarter than most of the population in some areas, and sadly lacking in other skills such as ease of communication.
There are two points that matter to me on this subject.
One is using young disabled people to be a pawn for a political group.
And the other is using young able people to be a pawn for a political group...such as the vocal youngsters at Parkland High School.
They are kids, many of them so dear and nice and so full of dreams and hopes and visions. They aren't ready yet to run the world and they should never be used by groups to railroad their ideas.
