An excellent and informative interview with Amanda Baggs, who is autistic, talking about how autistics see the world: Amanda Baggs on CNN.

Q: What do you think it will take for our society to accept autistic people as functional?
Yolanda Welch, Shreveport, Louisiana

BAGGS: I have a poster on my wall that says “Are you one of us? Take this easy test and find out. Either every one of us is valuable, vulnerable, and worthy of human respect and protection… Or none of us is, which makes mankind king cockroach on planet Earth. Pick one.” I think it will take a lot more people picking the first option and seriously living by it.

Amanda has a highly readable blog as well.
