There is a significant divide between autistic advocates and parents of autistic children. Parents may feel attacked for their lack of understanding, and autistic adults who offer insight and guidance are also met with hostility and rejection.

You want your children to grow strong, healthy, and resilient, and become competent, happy, and fulfilled in their lives.
