"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."

Really long but informative article by an autistic activist discussing the phenomenon of certain autistic people becoming more visibly autistic as they get older. Personally I could really identify with some of this stuff, and it's always nice to know I'm not alone and I'm not just being silly.
