My son has "autism". He is 25 and needs constant supervision and care.

I feel that the word "autism" is now meaningless. I must know 50 of his cohorts and even though they're all "autistic" they can be quite different.

I also agree that his needs are underrepresented and drowned out by those mildly-affected who have the mental capacity to speak out for themselves.
