Autism Community Split in Four, Says NIMH Chief

I found this an interesting perspective and can't help feel it's correct in many ways. There's no doubt for many people the type of autism your child has influences your perspective on it. I do believe because I'm certain my kids have a purely genetic ASC, it's easier for me to embrace the autism as difference, neuro-diverse position.  I also know if my two were more severely affected by autism and had co related issues, such as GI problems I would be more open to the idea of an environmental 'insult'. I think exploration of the differing autism sub types will help lead to better targeted support.
