It would probably be extremely interesting. <br /><br />But I don't see autistic people as having something missing, so it sort of annoys me to see those puzzle pieces. I think the missing piece is fully understanding the perspective of someone autistic and when that happens, will it make things better?Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395406512079608484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355297.post-84894013659283965092009-01-06T16:25:00.000-06:002009-01-06T16:25:00.000-06:00It's not supposed to be a missing piece is it?

I believe it's because all the pieces are there, we just don't know how to piece them together.Emma<3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11945761829904309403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355297.post-90529844483699411212008-11-09T12:41:00.000-06:002008-11-09T12:41:00.000-06:00I believe you are right. I am not Autistic, and I ...I believe you are right. I am not Autistic, and I feel that something is missing out of my life. I do not know if it is because I am not married or that I do not have kids yet and these are things I still want from my life. I believe that everyone will always be missing something, because people are always wanting more out of life. It is very rare to find someone who has all their dreams and ambitions fulfilled and want nothing more out of life. I believe people with Autism are not missing part of themselves anymore than people without Autism. I do not understand why the international “symbol” for Autism is a puzzle piece. I feel that people with Autism have a better understanding of what they want out of life and do not feel scared about trying to get what they want like others are without Autism. People with Autism do not need to be fixed, because they are who they are and no one should try to change them. It is very hard to define Autism because no one quite understands how Autism works and what it entails. I believe you are right, how can society figure out Autism if people who are the closest to Autistic people do not understand or agree on what Autism really is. I work with preschoolers with Autism and so I see how the children work and understand things, yet I still do not fully understand how Autism works and I do not believe I ever truly will. I agree with you that Autism is very puzzling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
