At the candy store where I work, there used to be other volunteers on the autism spectrum, and many were on the lower-functioning end of the scale. One girl in particular mostly just paced around humming, not any songs, often just one sustained note, stopped only by occasional speech, unusually since she never moved her lips when she talked. There’s a reason there’s so much talk about the autism spectrum, because there’s a vast variety of autistic types, from physicists who make deep contributions to physics that rival Einstein but can’t be bothered to understand how the world of people works (Paul Dirac, for those of you who don’t know), and then, there’s the types of people Autism Speaks bring out to treat it like it’s a horrible disease that may or may not happen because of vaccines. Naturally, there’s a shitload of inbetween.
