This morning I was reading about treating autistic children, and I realized that, while most people, especially professionals these days, tend to view autistic children as so different from "normal" people that they don't even consider that the things that these children do could have reasons that would make sense if we tried to understand, because they are so different that it doesn't even make any sense. I have worked with people with autism, as well as other behavioral and emotional problems, and the more I worked with them, the more I related to them and felt like I could understand them because I am like them too.
