Want to Read $ 14.99"We remain hidden, tucked away behind corporations aiming to change us, pushing supplements and instant cures into the hands of desperate parents looking to make our lives better. We're hidden behind psychiatrists who will diagnose us with anything and everything else, because they know that people have a negative view of autism. We're hidden behind an education system that dehumanizes us and makes us sure everyone else treats us like we are less than human. We're hidden behind the mask that we create ourselves to try and blend in, to not be caught."-Paige Layle, But Everyone Feels This Way: How an Autism Diagnosis Saved My Life
