What the world doesn't understand is that if 'they' finally find the 'autism gene' and decide to remove it, then 'they' will remove future generations of the most gifted, talented people, the people who are Jewels amongst us...

And our world will sink into its own Silence, bereft of so many colours of humanity. The high intelligence, the beautiful songs, the wondrous paintings, the words, feelings and emotions that so often flow from inside the minds of those on The Circle, who, unable to pass those feelings on to us verbally, do it so many other ways.....

And that is why you will often stand in front of a painting and feel the enlightened. It is why you will hear a song of the most utmost and intense Beauty that moves you to tears, that can almost turn your life around, as will a book, a poem, a dance, an athlete..

And don't even get me started on the Scientific side, because without Bill Gates and his 'On The Circle' mind, I'd not even be writing this, nor would you be reading it.

Autism IS a Gift.

But it is a Gift to US, not to those who live within it, and we owe those on The Circle so very much, because without their wonderful minds, their love, their feelings, we would be so much poorer.

Therefore, it is not just an obligation but a Duty to pass the Understanding and Acceptance of Autism around the world and to ensure that every single child from early school age upwards is aware, so that they grow up knowing how to speak The Language of Autism.

As I said, the Circle is a Magical one, even with, and despite, the terrible sadness.

I believe that we are ALL on The Circle, in one way or another. I know my family most definitely is. But it is up to each and every one of us to realise what precious gifts those on the Inner Circle of Autism have given us, and will continue to give us.

It is way past time to give back, for all we have been blessed with.
