I’ve seen this advert in the Metro twice now (see a larger version here) and it’s made my insides boil everytime. I’m only talking about this from the perspective of someone who is autistic but I don’t think using the word ‘recovery’ is a good one to use. Infact, sticking it on that poster makes it looks like autism is actually a disease that is life-threatening. I swear that some attitudes towards the disorder are pretty farfetched sometimes. There’s a good chance that I might be wanting something relating to this for the student newspaper at university so I can’t go on about this too much here but I can’t wait to research this properly, in some sick and twisted way.
