It isn’t like any other, in the sense that people suffering from autism are often able to do many things that most people without autism can’t master in their lifetime. Somehow, from my ignorant corner of the world, the diagnosis of autism, seemed contradictory. Society is quick to use labels, and those range from genius to mentally delayed.

React to it.
