In the article, Picture Thinking in Pictures, author Elaine O'Connor writes about Dr. Temple Grandin who was diagnosed with autism at age three and now is an expert about autism and inventor of animal slaughter devices. O'Connor also mentions that some adults with autism spectrum disorders do not get enough support from the government because their IQs are higher than 70. She also states that Grandin, despite her autism, has been able to lead a successful adult life with the right supports and mentors.
It's tough to live independently in America too as an adult with Asperger's Syndrome. I have a lot to offer in the workplace I'm in, but they seem to focus on my inability to form interpersonal relationships.
