"I type with slight assistance from my mom and dad and Jackie and now i am teaching paula. I say assistance as the synonym for support. I am the one typing. I am the person with the thought. If you took a person who needed help walking would you question whose feet were moving?"

"It takes a lot for a neurotypical person to understand someone who is highly autistic. NTs are good at understanding each other--but their theory of mind gets in the way when they try to understand those who are not like them. They're bad enough at understanding Aspies--think how much worse the connection gets when they try to understand someone who doesn't use language! [...] The biggest thing, I guess, would be to somehow teach NTs how to listen to low-functioning autistic people--because once an NT can listen to someone without prejudice, they almost automatically begin to connect, to empathize. After all, connecting with each other is what NTs do best; if they can learn to connect with autistic folks, the autism-rights battle is all but over."
