another letter to Dragonflymagic
i read your answer to Aspergers famous people and i saw that you wrote Diffentablity i like that i just wish that everyone would accept and respect that becuase i hate it when people try to make them feel ashamed of themselves for being different and not following social norms im just sick of it also Autism should be treated really fairly and tolerated along with Aspergers calling somebody stupid for it is just plain wrong also telling them that they different from those dont have it is another thing i hate becuase they dont care and i dont care becuase people who do that are trying to make everybody the same and thats not good .

Maybe give some free advice about: Advicenators?
You're right, we can't force everyone to fit into a certain box. It's as stupid as 'one size fits all' clothing...cus they never fit me...hahaha
I first heard the term differently abled through a childrens musical group Tickle Toon Typhoon. They happened to perform at the local Library or Public pool meeting room and this was long ago, late 80s early 90's when my 3 girls were little and I took them to events like this.
Here's an old video of them and the song:

I was raising the daughters to be kind and inclusive of others, not see anyone as different than them or to be teased or shunned.
And I can proudly say they all grew up to be people who accept others just as they are, their very overweight friends, their ADD or Asperger friends, any other races, their gay friends, those with different beliefs or religions, etc... the list goes on.
Rather than focus on the many who don't understand, focusing on finding those who do. Or perhaps find a way to reach and teach others about Aspergers. Schools used to try but are so under funded and cant afford to bring in special speakers to teach at a time it is crucial for young people to learn. Perhaps start a blog of your own to share with living with Aspergers is like and hints for how kids without it can interact with those who do. Good luck and enjoy the video.
