Valerie Speaks The Truth: Focus on Strengths

Valerie Paradiz, author of Elijah's Cup and co-founder of The Open Center for Autism in New York, says that people should focus on strengths that a person with Asperger's Syndrome has.  She says that autistic children become less anxious when they have a better sense of themselves.  Once they have more confidence in themselves, it is easier for them to self-advocate and make friends.

I agree with her.  More should be paid attention towards the strengths, not the weaknesses.
