It is difficult to say thank you! Even so, I appreciate your focus and discipline in writing this piece. It is important! I have spent the last 45 minutes perusing the links throughout your article. Aware of this history - I read knowing that there is truth in the saying – "what goes around comes around".

Meanwhile close to 90% of autistic humans remain unemployed and/or under employed.
