Autism is a way of being, not something a person has, or a shell that a person is trapped inside. There's no normal child hidden behind the autism. It is pervasive; it colors every experience, every sensation, perception, thought, emotion and encounter - every aspect of existence. It is not possible to separate the autism from the person – and if it were possible, the person you'd have left would not be the same person you started with.
