Quote, Paraphrase, and Citation #1

”… research demonstrates that autistic traits are distributed into the non-autistic population; some people have more of them, some have fewer. History suggests that many individuals whom we would today diagnose as autistic – some severely so – contributed profoundly to our art, our math, our science, and our literature. “

Children today that are diagnosed with autism become a part of research, statistics, art, science, and literature. Basically they just become another number in a statistic, picture in a book, or maybe even part of an experiment.
