[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 1974778, member: 480869"] I think there’s a lot less stigma now, combined with the fact that in our generation it was rarely diagnosed, certainly not if you could exist in society just considered odd behaviour or being a loner or simple. (No offence intended just how it sadly used to be thought of). Are more people and now or are more recognised? One of my asd’s believes autists are the next evolution of mankind and hopes it is increasing as you are more efficient and logical in life. He was very quiet about it til outted by a “friend”. Now he’s quite proud to be who he is and doesn’t want to be NT. The other doesn’t fully believe it and just gets on being who he is and living his own way in partial denial of diagnosis and it’s effects. I was also bullied physically and emotionally throughout school from 5-17yrs. I often wonder how things would have been different for me had I been different (resilient, less of a push over or not so academic and without weird hair), or my parents had better equipped me or the school done something about it. Different causes but similar experiences. [/QUOTE]
