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.
