I don't understand why people with autistic kids describe their kids needs as special. These needs are all completely normal. There must be some misunderstanding.

I've heard so many accounts of parents learning they were autistic because their kids were discovered to be autistic.

Yeap that'd be me. We always joked about it growing up, but once I took my son to his first screening I was a bit freaked out.
