If you have an interest in the way autism research is heading and would like to

say something

to the National Institute of Mental Health about it please consider signing the

above petition

letter that will be sent to the NIMH. For more details see:

http://autismdiva.blogspot.com/2007/01/steering-autism-research.html

or

http://neurodiversity.com/weblog/article/117/

There are instructions on both of these blogs on how to send your own message to

the NIH/

NIMH, you can sign the petition and send a letter, too. If you do send a

specific letter to

them, you might want to mention that you also signed the petition.

I'd like to see many signatures on it. It could make a big difference in all

our lives to have the

mainstream look for the good in autism and the successful strategies in

autistics, rather than

constantly seeing us only as a collection of deficits (which is not to say we

have no deficits).

Thanks.
