Over the next year the view of people with Autism is going to change radically. There is hidden ability and talent which needs help to be revealed. Gifts that have been hidden will be allowed to shine. This has already started in small ways but there will be more and more young autistic people, as well as adults who thought they had been left by the way who suddenly find that these abilities are now recognised. Indeed they will not just be recognised but they will find they can earn a living.
There will be buisnesses set up purely to support and help with the things that autistic people find difficult individually, it will be worth the money to train and learn about what each person needs because the skills of these autistic individuals make it worth while.(I believe that all people on the spectrum are worth something, as I am on the spectrum myself)
Parents who thought they would have to provide for thier children for the rest of their lives will find that as people try new ways of connecting with thier children that the disconnect will begin to connect, and there are going to be some fabulous stories emerging over the next year and in the years following.
I know God loves and cares for all parents and all children, but he cares about those who are on the spectrum in a more tender way, as he does for all who travel their lives differently, on the earth, he has a plan for every person on the spectrum and even those unable to connect right now.
In the relatively recent past autistic children were left and no one did anything to help them because no one knew how, but there has been gradual change and the realisation that these children had rights as much as anyone else.
The more that people learn about how the autistic brain works, the less I hope they will want to change us to be like them (neurotypical - anyone who is not at the autistic end of the spectrum).
People on the spectrum with additional needs, would probably like to be rid of seizures(tonic colonic or epileptic) and the disconnect with the world must be confusing and upsetting, but autism is more about the inability to communicate needs and feeling and all the things that make us who we are.
It is more about finding ways to communicate, that are gentle for the individual and cause as little stress to them as possible, but add dignity and a better quality of life.
