Maybe there are a few positives in autism, but at the same time we think and act differently than neurotypicals...so should we be persecuted for that or more accepted? I think more accepted is the right way to proceed.
I have seen some articles that seem to encourge exploitation of people with ASD disorders....like we have special computer skills or this or that that could be used for big buisiness. Well what about those of us who aren't intrested in that and don't have special technological skills?

I agree but there are positives to our condition such as our special interests. We tend to delve into things much more passionately than neurotypicals do. As far as the social problems, that does suck big time. I have been blessed to not have a whole heck of a lot in terms of social difficulties. Maybe a little bit of missing body language here and there, but no major impairment in interaction. I do have the special interests though, big time. I get truly "obsessed" with things far, far beyond what a neurotypical would. I do manage to largely avoid blabbing about my special interests to people though but still the executive functioning issues definitely does make life with our condition very challenging at times unfortunately. I can barely focus so that is what impedes my life the most
