i was at a retreat this weekend and the topic of having the ability to love came up!  It was discussed that many people believe that we with autism are not able to express love!  This is so wrong!  Just because we do not act like others does not mean we do not have the same emotions!  We just process differently!  We have trouble expressing feelings like others!i have feelings just like everyone else!  Please be aware of that when around those of us with autism!
