    On the spectrum, don't want to be "healed"

    I realize that autism can be, for some, such a burden that it becomes a significant disability. I am not speaking of that situation because I have no familiarity with it. So please don't take what follows as applying to that form of the disorder, because it's not how I meant it. However, I'm...
