I would like to introduce you to an amazing Autistic Person - who has fundamentally assisted people to understand Autism - from the inside!

I offer a link to her website here as it is a great resource for anyone who wants to understand more about Autism - from an outside and from an inside perspective.

Autism Facts.

- 1 in 59 U.S. children has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- ASD in 4.5 times more common in boys (1 in 42) and in girls (1 in 189).
- About 1 in 6 children in the U.S. had a developmental disability 2006-2008.

This covers a wide range of developmental problems ranging from mild to severe.

Dr. Grandin did not talk until she was three and a half years old.  Dr. Grandin became a prominent author and speaker on both autism and animal behaviour.  Today she is a professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. 

​

The Problem With Labels

In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association revised the diagnostic criteria for autism.  This greatly broadened the spectrum.  It now ranges from brilliant scientists, artists, and musicians to an individual who cannot dress himself or herself.  Over the years, the diagnostic criteria have kept changing.  It is not precise like a lab test for strep throat.  Labels such as autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder or learning disability are often applied to the same child.  In older children with no speech delay, the diagnosis sometimes switches back and forth between autism and ADHD.

​

“One of the problems today is for a kid to get any special services in school, they have to have a label.  The problem with autism is you’ve got a spectrum that ranges from Einstein to someone with no language and intellectual disability,” said Grandin.  “Steve Jobs was probably mildly on the autistic spectrum.  Basically, you’ve probably known people who were geeky and socially awkward but very smart.  When does geeks and nerds became autism? That’s a gray area.  Half the people in Silicon Valley probably have autism.”
