THE MANY FACETS OF ASD IN CHILDREN YOUTH AND YO...

How do human beings with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) describe their especialness? And what
could this imply for social and medical interaction with such individuals? This issue of Folia
Phoniatrica et Logopaedica includes the personal stories of a number of individuals with ASD
from Ireland  China  and Japan. These talented individuals with autism insist that they
represent neurodiversity rather than neuroatypicality. One individual's metaphor as zebras
among horses explains it best. Their view of themselves and the comparisons and descriptions
they have given lend support to the need for a significant paradigm shift in our approach to
autism. The purpose of this issue is to extend the fund of knowledge on autism and so assist
all clinicians  researchers  and autism advocates in their efforts to support and improve the
lives of individuals on the autism spectrum.
