If you're reading this, it is because you wish to know what it is like to suffer from autism from the perspective of someone on the spectrum. Why you should want such a thing is beyond my comprehension. Was it a child of your own who also suffers? Or was it, perhaps, a morbid curiosity? I'm telling you right now, if you're looking for some words to inspire hope then you can stop reading right now. I'm a thirty-year-old who delivers pizza and still lives with his parents, I have none to give.
