Autism / Autism Spectrum Support Group
Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.
I had told a police officer (there was wierd person around the neighborhood by my house) and I said I have Autism...they said, "Oh, what do you take that for?" I tried to explain that its like Rainman sort of... They thought Autism was a medication....How sad, ha?!!! LOL, though it was kind of funny.

That is pathetic and scary! In this day and Age! Police not knowing about Autism?! They need to be sent to training! Do you think you could ask Autism Society to suggest it? Because that is dangerous!
