From the Spectrum: Finding Superpowers with Autism

What is Autism: Part 2 of Criteria B: Will the so-called normal people accept our "differences," or Not?

Criteria B is Autism. Hans Aspergers called the children with the syndrome "little professors." This is Autism. Our routines and fixated interests. Autism gives us the ability to be comfortable within ourselves, and this accelerates our abilities, our Superpowers. How will society handle these so-called "differences" and the conflict within the so-called "normal" people?

In this episode, we expand to real-life examples of Criteria B components and review some personal experiences.
