I work in a Sudbury school where we have two kids diagnosed with autism. When they first arrived, they had some problems. But in the free environment of our school, they have become as amazing as all the other children in the school. I don't even think of them as being autistic.

We all have deficiencies. What we all need are environments that let us figure out how to cope with them.

Of course, it is all matters of degree and people need to be able to take responsibility for their actions and needs. Not all can and that requires something different.
