In a way if people lived in desert islands there would be no autism. Autism is generally highlighted when we live with other people. I suppose even on desert islands there would be noticeable differences between what an autistic person thinks about and what a non-autistic person thinks about. No doubt there would be similarities too. I'm Paul Wimsett and I am coping with my autism. I don't have much choice to be honest. And as the title suggests I have turned 40. That's more less okay.
