Interesting discussion from the Autism/Asperger’s community. Suggests to me that here needs to be dialogue between the recovery and autism communities……
Why is it so acceptable for Autistics to behave in a certain "socially unacceptable" way, and therefore be self accepting; but for the Mentally Ill, there is no understanding, or acceptance - they must change - , or self-organised movement, or ads to get funding for research and educational programs...etc. etc.
