That's very true Sharron, many of us carry little traits of the autistic spectrum.....
...maybe we are lightly obsessive about some things or perhaps we have to have to do things in certain ways.
... maybe we have a thing about everything being 'just so' on our work desk or kitchen counter.
... maybe we have obsessive hobbies.
... maybe we are 'loners', preferring our own company.
... maybe we are desperate for friendship but don't have the skills needed to communicate well with others.
... maybe we excel in the field of maths or music yet have no skills for talking to others.
The list could go on and on........many more than are realised are affected with this condition.
Yet there is hope. See my comments at the end of the complete article. Cx.

I think we are probably all autistic but to different degrees.

Hello Autism....
l don't know alot about you but my sister does as you have captured two of her children!! They are both boys, aged 9yrs and 11yrs. l have met them once and they are lovely boys. They are sometimes hard work for their mum. They are lucky in that you have not given them your full strength.
At the moment their mum is poorly and l wish l could help her and the boys but they live in America.
We must try and find ways to keep you at bay, l will look forward to part 3.

My Name is Autism
Hello. Allow me to introduce myself to you. My name is autism. Perhaps you know me or know of me. I am a condition, "disorder" that affects many people. I strike at will, when and where I want. Unlike Downs Syndrome or other birth "defects," I leave no marks on those I strike. In fact, I pride myself on the ability to infiltrate a child's life, while leaving him or her strikingly handsome. Many people may not even know I am there. They blame the child for what I cause him or her to do. I am autism and I do as I please.
I am autism. I strike boys and girls. infants and toddlers. I find my best victims to be boys around the age of 2, but any child will do. I like children and they are always the true victims, though I take hostage the others in the child's family as well. It is a bit like getting two for the price of one. I affect one child and "infect" the entire family.
I am autism. I strike rich and poor alike. The rich combat me with education and therapy. The poor shut their children away and cannot afford to fight me. I am able to win in the lives of poor children more than I am those of the wealthy, but I will try to take root anywhere.
I am autism. I am an equal opportunity disorder. I strike whites, blacks, Mexicans, Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, Slavs, Japanese, Koreans and Fins. In fact, I strike everywhere on Earth. I know no geographical bounds.
I am autism. I do not discriminate based upon religion either. I strike Jews and Christians, Muslims and Buddhists, Atheists and Agnostics. I do not care what religion a person is or what beliefs he may hold. When I strike, there will be little time for any of that anyway. When they find me, they will question everything they believe in, so why would I strike only one group? I have affected followers of every religion on the planet.
I am autism and I am strong and getting stronger every year, every month, every day, every minute and every second. I am concerned that money might be allotted to combat me and my takeover of children, but so far, I have little to fear. Some countries like Kuwait, are spending quite a bit of money to assist those who I have targeted and some, like the United States, would rather spend money on such ludicrous things as discovering the number of American Indians who practice Voodoo, as opposed to combating me. In an atmosphere such as that, I can flourish and wreck havoc at will. In places such as that, I rub my hands with glee at the problems I can cause to children, their families and to the society at large.
To be continued.
