"I now know I should never have tried to fit in, but instead embraced my condition. It has helped me gather more friends, build a better relationship with my family, read more.

Most importantly, it has given me a new direction to help others see themselves more clearly.

I am glad of my condition and that I have been able to put my past struggles to good use.

Being diagnosed with autism is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am not simply a “broken normal”.

We are extraordinary people capable of extraordinary things."

We couldn't have put it better ourselves!
