I agree just because you are on the spectrum doesn't mean you are the same as anyone else on the spectrum. I've met 100 of autistic people over the course of our sons treatment. Wouldn't want to try to describe each individual. I also grew up in the 60s and had 3 young boys on our street that fit what I know now as autistic. We had a different word back then. They never went to school and never developed socially, but they were good people in adulthood.
Back in they day nobody wanted to admit they had intellectually challenged kids. They were hidden. Today they probably get over diagnosed but that's another issue.
As far as the vaccine thing goes. No comment!
