December 16, 2008 will be Autism Twitter Day, an excellent idea from Bonnie Sayers/autism family.I hope though that Autism Twitter Day, in an effort to be positive, does not exclude the severely autistic - those persons with Autistic Disorder who are low functioning and cognitively impaired.
On Autism Twitter Day let us not forget those persons with Autistic Disorder who live their adult lives dependent on the care of others, some in full institutional care. Let us not forget those autistic persons who do not appear regularly in the mainstream media to espouse grand agendas. Let us not forget those persons with autistic disorder who bite or otherwise injure themselves or wander away from their homes, some found safely some not. Let us not forget those autistic persons whose families can no longer help them and care for them and are left with no choice but to give them up to the care of the state.
On Autism Twitter Day let us not forget those for whom the "autism" spectrum is named.
Let us include those with severe Autistic Disorder on Autism Twitter Day,
autism
