If you thought this was common sense, think again

It always amazes me how much misinformation is floating around about Autism. In my opinion, Autism is by far one of the most misunderstood disorders.

I'm absolutely floored by some of the things that people think/assume about kids with Autism.

The one thing that really, really astounds me is that people seem to think that kids with Autism somehow purge themselves of being Autistic, when they reach the age of 18. It seems like people can't grasp the concept of Adult Autistics or Adults with Autism (however you prefer to say it).

While this post won't likely change that, perhaps some people will catch on and a little bit of Autism Awareness can take root.
