My parents were talking about autism yesterday evening, because a friend of theirs has a daughter who is autistic.
And it sounds like she is a savant - very artistic and a talented musician. And she’s got a job, with a theatre company. Which is brilliant for her.
But the conversation was very much about the great lengths the medical profession had gone to, to fix this poor girl and turn her into a functioning member of society.
