Its all about the label. MANY people in the past.. before the word "Autism" was coined did just fine, excelled even.
Now with certain labels that are supposed to be helpful to diagnose and treat certain things, it also hinders the people it is meant to help.. Social stigmas...

@HootyTheNightOwl And how. It was the world's way even until the 1970s. Lobotomy, Shock therapy, Insulin induced comas, forced sterilisation, etc.

@HootyTheNightOwl Likely the very same insanity used to "treat" the so-called insane.

[quote] She needs to do the hard work like everyone else[/quote] she work 10 times more than others just trying to fit in with people.
i have autism and it can be really hard to communicate with people some times, the last thing THE VERY LAST THING you want do to is to make them feel different or weird.
of course they are call special, would you like to be called special or weird ?

@LaurieKitKat94 i know everyone is different and they have differnet ideas history thoughts but people with disabilities are too different and too special.
and i think people say special just because its better than saying your hadicaped.

Well, I'll probably catch hell for this, but which is it- treat them like anybody else, or treat them as someone who is different?
You can't have it both ways. If they are truly "special" and "different" from neurotypical children, then obviously it's natural for those children to be unsure of how to include them without catering to them and therefore treating them "differently".

Yes we are. My son is autistic spectrum. He is 21 and very intelligent but is behind on social skills. He has dealt with the same treatment all his life.

@LaurieKitKat94 everyone is special in their on way. I think the term special for people with disabilities comes from them having special needs.
