I do agree with the main point of that...however there are a couple things I kinda disagree with just a little bit. I am supposedly high functioning and have never passed for 'fairly normal' even if I do 'learn' certain social skills there is a lot I can't actually apply to real life. Like even to this day I couldn't just go up to a random person and start talking to them...back in school when I was in therapy the therpist always encouraged me to do stuff like that but I couldn't. I also know eye contact its appropriate, but can't do it to save my life.

Also I guess I don't really feel I try all that much to be 'more acceptable' I don't spend every hour of every day trying to act as normal as possible and never really have...I have sort of learned a lot about coming off as rude so I've improved in that area...but I still don't pass as anywhere close to normal.

But I do agree that society needs to be taught more about it, and be more accepting towards the fact people with autism are the way they are...and can't be 'cured' or magically turned into 'normal' people.
