The Lubavitcher Rebbe's View on Autism

A must watch: The Rebbe and Cantor Yosef Malovany at Sunday Dollars : "If someone is autistic, it doesn't mean that they don't relate to anyone. They might not relate well to people, but to G-d they relate as well as everyone else, and even more. Place a charity box in his room. This will benefit him, and he'll remind his visitors that they must give charity."
