Autism hasn’t stopped these celebrities from being the best they can be at all. This is a condition they accept and are happy to discuss it with anyone who wants to know more about it.
World Autism Day reminds us how important it is to show love and kindness to people with autism. It is in no way meant to denigrate them or make them feel unaccepted. They are just like the blessed, beautiful humans out there.
