i agree with Amita R. in the article, "Autism is not a tragedy". I believe that people should embrace their uniquness in any shape or form. There shouldnt be any shame in the world for a birth deffect. One quote that grabbed my attention was "many people have a misconception that autism is caused by bad parenting." There should be more information to educate many people who don't understand. So many people will understand the uniquness in kids who are diagnosed by these defects. As long as there is some who understands, they can stop someone from harasssing the kids who want to be just like regular kids. Thank you Amita for writing an outstanding article.
