It makes some very good points that I didn't really get until I listened to it a couple times...
"They must be blind, because they can't see what Michael sees" stands out to me. Just because a person can't do everything another person can do, doesn't mean that person is miserable.
This message is particularly important to share now that people are trying to invent a way to screen babies to check if they are autistic before they are born. I am getting very angry at the way neurotypical people claim they are helping autistic people by preventing them from being born. I'm autistic, sure, I have a little trouble getting along in a predominantly neurotypical world, but I wouldn't prefer to have never been born! Speak for yourselves, snooty NT's!
