Sociological and cultural aspects of autism come into play with recognition of autism, approaches to its support services and therapies, and how autism affects how we define personhood. The autistic community is divided primarily into two camps; the autism rights movement and the autism cure movement. The autism rights movement believes autism is a different way of being and advocates against a cure. On the other hand, the autism cure movement advocates for a cure. There are many autism-related events and celebrations; including World Autism Awareness Day, Autism Sunday and Autistic Pride Day. Autism is diagnosed more frequently in males than in females.
Although some prefer to use the person-first terminology person with autism, some members of the autistic community prefer autistic person or autistic in formal English, to stress that autism is a part of their identity rather than a disease they have. In addition, phrases like suffers from autism are objectionable to some people.

Heidi's talk was preceded by this short video featuring adults with High-Functioning Autism discussing their experiences. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cy4X69BSh8 ---- Heidi Stieglitz Ham brought together a team of architects, psychologists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and researchers to design a sustainable living community for people with High-Functioning Autism (HFA) and Asperger Syndrome (AS). This innovative community is the first of its kind in the world. Different to a group home or institution, the individuals will have their own independent living units made of sustainable materials and community areas would be designed for shared spaces.

I hate posting videos like this because it's so hard to watch. Sometimes Kreed has meltdowns in public and it's hard. We work on it in the bathroom. I could safely get him out of the store and I knew it was coming. We aren't able to drive if he is escalated. This was a much longer time than normal. I hate it. It is so hard when he is physical and yet I know it's his lack of understanding and unable to effectively communicate and at times pain. I feel for him. I feel horrible for him while my job is to keep him safe and get him to talk to me. We do work through it but man is it hard. And this is our real life some days.
