Brilliance in Autism

Though there is a general worry among parents with children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder that their children will have to struggle with being alone as adults, this is not necessarily the case. Their company includes such greats as Bill Gates, Dr. Temple Grandin, chanteuse Susan Boyle, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, and Wolfgang Mozart - the latter three being suspected of having Asperger's due to their social discomfiture and brilliant minds. Considering the amazing achievements this group has given an admiring world, it is important to regard autism spectrum disorders as not something to be "cured." Instead, we should focus on how to help these individuals continue to connect with a world that needs them.
