My eldest son who was 37 when he died several years ago had Asperger's. When he was a child it really wasn't anything that professionals in North America knew much about when he was a child and it was a struggle to get help. Yesterday while I was at my local library a young woman with a teenage boy in tow came and sat down. The boy was making quiet chirping noises to himself and fidgeting a bit and a very cross man pointed out that libraries were for 'quiet reading'. I was stunned and saddened by this attitude. People with developmental disabilities and their families and caregivers still have a long way to go.

You're right, Rachel. Things have improved, but not yet enough.
