Autism myths abound and Kev is collecting, and dissecting, them at this new site. One myth that especailly irks me is the notion that autistic kids are “in their own world” and “withdrawn into themselves” and, generally, “out of it.”
My son Charlie is thoroughly engaged in and attuned to the goings-on of the world [...]
