Focus on Strengths and Abilities

 You should highlight the strengths and unique abilities of autistic individuals. Avoid framing autism solely as a disability or deficit. My opinion with this from experience because of my daughter's dad. He liked to frame his self with his disability which did not help him at all. We ended up breaking up and now he doesn't even talk to me about our daughter. He says its due to his autism and everything that he thinks differently, he also doesn't have feelings. It's very difficult to communicate with him when he doesn't want to talk about our daughter specially when we aren't together as a couple now. I'd like to know if anyone else has had this experience with their loved ones.
