First let me state that when I use the term , "spectrum" it means all those individuals who have been diagnosed with Autism or Aspergers and those who have not yet received a clinical diagnoses. The Autistic spectrum is a wide one, covering those people who have high functioning Aspergers to those individuals who are non-verbal.
The most important myth to me is that people on the Autistic spectrum do not possess great intelligence. This could not be further from the truth. All people like to learn, especially those on the autistic spectrum. Knowledge is power. We never receive the appropriate age related material that we desire. We have a genuine desire to learn so an effort should be made at all times to provide the correct age related learning material.
