RECOGNIZING NEURO DIVERSITY, AUTISM, & ASSOCIATED DISORDERS - ASPERGIAN NATION IS BUILT AND MAINTAINED BY THOSE WITHIN THE ASD AUTISM SPECTRUM COMMUNITY
The rising prevalence of autism means more than ever that positive awareness is key to acceptance and understanding in our world. The general population must be allowed not to merely to see some one person who is different, but that they are a part of an entire people, representing a clear and distinct society. One where they and the people who support them can voice their concerns in all maters that ultimately effects their lives.

Painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer, renaissance man Leonardo da Vinci, is considered perhaps the greatest genius of all time. It is now believed he was also a high functioning autistic. His struggle for perfection was absolutely overwhelming. He created the famous “Mona Lisa" but spent 12 years just paining her lips. Leonardo was left handed (72 % of autistics are left or mixed handed) and wrote backwards. His journals often exhibiting traits of obsessiveness and arrogance while his notes contained many incorrect spellings, and much of his work was left incomplete. His letters were single-minded, and seemingly lacking in social grace or understanding. His students described him as, "A man endowed by heaven with beauty, with talent in such abundance that he left other men far behind. Historians regard Leonardo as the prime exemplar of the Universal Genius, an individual of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination".
‘Autistic psychopathy’ in childhood By HANS ASPERGER
In what follows, I will describe a particularly interesting and highly recognisable type of child. The children I will present all have in common a fundamental disturbance which manifests itself in their physical appearance, expressive functions and, indeed, their whole behaviour. This disturbance results in severe and characteristic difficulties of social integration. In many cases the social problems are so profound that they overshadow everything else. In some cases, however, the problems are compensated by a high level of original thought and experience. This can often lead to exceptional achievements in later life. With the type of personality disorder presented here we can demonstrate the truth of the claim that exceptional human beings must be given exceptional educational treatment, treatment which takes account of their special difficulties. Further, we can show that despite abnormality human beings can fulfil their social role within the community, especially if they find understanding, love and guidance.
