Should Autism just sod off?
I think I’m going to win this. I’m up against an illness. But wait, it’s not that easy! This isn’t like dissing the plague or mad cow disease because autism can vary in severity; it’s a condition not a virus and sometimes it’s not even that noticeable. Equally, I need to be careful to not offend people with autism when I offend autism itself. That’s hard.
I’ve chosen this topic because I’m trying to coax you all into sponsoring me for my Charity Marathon run but am acutely aware that Autism doesn’t carry the same fashionable glitz as say cancer or aids. They’re A-listers. Autism’s like… Christopher Biggins. So I’m going to try and find out a bit more to help me really sell the cause to you. Hungry for information? Let’s eat.
