Good afternoon everyone!! Lovely day in the ATL as usual.
This past Sunday, I went to the 2012 Atlanta Walk Now for Autism Speaks in Atlantic Station. I enjoyed walking with two fellow Aspies, taking pics of the protest and listening to their stances on how the autistic adults (namely those who are verbal and able to work) are misrepresented in the media/non-profits. I also loved interacting with the people (and kids) with autism and their families, and some (like the family below; NOTE: at least two people in that family are autistic) emphasized autism as being a wonderful gift instead of a curse.
