Best place for all autistic people, all disabled not disabled people, all families to speak together. Speak together for acceptance, inclusion, communication, and rights for all people. I am thinking when you look closely, this is what autism is.

The family is wrong. Not You. A school segregating is wrong. Not You.There are many if the disability community that are here for you.
