they probably don't have anyone with autism in the organization "Autism Speaks" because most autistic people can not communicate or speak, but the organization is made up greatly of parents or family members of those with autism. and yes, great pain does not come from autism because it is not a physically painful disorder. actually the autistic most likely do not experience much pain or grief in their disease, but probably the true pain of autism is in those who care for their family members and children for autism their entire lives and have no hope for a cure or to ever hear their child say their name ( ... )

He is not currently receiving any type of therapy and we homeschool, there is enough time later when he is better equipped to deal with it to face the predjudice behaviors towards autistics (that are often all the more easily inflicted because they come under the guise of 'helping ( ... )
