Diversity

Introduction

Hello everyone! This is my new story. Some parts will be based off of my own experience, others will be from my research. I'm hoping to get people to understand autism better. I am very passionate about this subject. This is because Autism Speaks is giving horrible, false information about autism (including that autistic people are soulless). The word retard also seems to be common recently, and that is an offensive word, no matter who the person. I do have some of the conditions/disorders that will be mentioned. I'll give a list, which might expand later on. Feel free to look up the conditions.

Don't use Autism Speaks. They are vile and horrible people. They lie to people, and try saying that autism is the worst thing ever and that autism should be cured. That changes a person completely, and is wrong. Sorry, but I just refuse to say anything nice about them.

...Now for the list

Asperger's Syndrome

TMD (more commonly and incorrectly TMJ)

Anxiety

ADHD

Please give suggestions, tell me what you think. :D Don't be rude, respect others, and have a great day. ^.^ (I'll get the first chapter sometime this week)

I'd just like to add something to this introduction. Autistic people aren't all the same. Yes, some may have the same diagnosis, but that doesn't mean that they are the same as someone else, so don't treat them as such!
