Notas do Editor
- NHS – broad affects everything that makes you an individual and human being. You may have heard of Aspergers, High Functioning Autism, Classic Autism. But the medical documentation is ASD.
- Intellectual disability has strong comorbidity with ASD. But deserves a talk entirely dedicated to it.
- Seeks unobstructed, augmented interaction. Does not intend to treat people—less in the medical model of disability camp.
