Harvey Blume, New York Times
Autistics are distinctive individuals
ranging from the physically beautiful child who appears to live in
a world of his own, to the eccentric genius with remarkable abilities
that defy explanation. While “experts” abound, and “cures” are
desperately sought, the autistics themselves are glaringly omitted
from the conversation.
Neurotypical includes,
among the many voices of autistics, those who take exception to the
notion of being “cured” and those who offer, through their
very lives, a view of what a fulfilling life might look like. Neurotypical does not attempt to diagnose, change or find a cure for autism. Instead,
it looks at the culture of autism, as a valid and unique way of being.
