    Maybe… but I feel like forcing people to do things doesn’t often yield the best results. I do agree that consistent and positive interaction would be meaningful.

    Culturally, we need people to set the examples and to lead correctly. And that’s adults, whether its teachers or parents, including and accepting the autistic kid and encouraging the neurotypical kids to be the same.

    If that’s in line with what you’re saying, then we’re on the same page.

      Yes.

      If it makes sense it’s the whole, “I have a child with autism not an autistic child.”

        I think I understand, despite not personally being one to take a position over how to express that concept. It seems like it might be more meaningfully applied by yourself as you can clearly relate the distinction along the severity gradient of autism.
