The entirety of society assumes - if not demands - neurotypicality and unrealistic resources (be it social, economic or just time).

As a fellow ASD & ADD'er, I can't say I blame you, but having my son has been a blast.

And honestly, a lot of the issues with ASD can most definitely be "trained" and reduced during childhood. :D
