Someone posted awhile back about a story that an autistic wrote. It was comparing cars and trains, how nt people are cars, and autistic people are trains....Who ever posted that, can you please repost it, or email it to me thru my profile? TIA, Chrissy

here is the story as explained to someone by a person with ASD:

"Oh...as a side note. I have a friend with asperger's. He told me that he sees the world like this:
There are trains and there are cars. I am a car. I change my mind and go a different direction than I originally planned. I drive on asphalt. I can travel alone or share the road. I move quickly, but not as fast as a train. He is a train. When he begins to move, he goes much faster than a car, but he cannot change directions suddenly. He can't take alternate routes. He doesn't like to share the tracks with other trains. The problem occurs when the cars make the trains share their asphault. The trains tear up the roads and contually crash. They get stuck, and the cars get angry. But....who ever said that they would make good trains? Why can't we just give him tracks to ride on?"
