MY grandson has autism and from him I have learnt a lot in fact a co workers two boys also have autism and he said to me many times that is is sure I was Autistic but it was not diagnosed back when I was young
He said he saw in me ay traits and how I saw things in a different way like his sons, so it got me interested to learn more about it

and yes I think the way you see things different is something that you should rejoice in
