Laura Epstein discusses Greta Thunberg and how she is a strong role model for young people on the autism spectrum.
Greta Thunberg is an amazing advocate for climate change. She is well spoken, passionate, knowledgeable, and will hopefully help to lead a worldwide movement to change our laws and policies and curb climate change. But that is not why she is important to my son. My son has a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. His diagnostic report reads “he has what used to be called Asperger’s.” Like my son, Greta Thunberg also has Asperger’s.
One day my son will ask me who else is on the autism spectrum and I will look to answer that question. While there are lots of incredibly successful people definitely or believed to be on the autism spectrum — Albert Einstein, Tim Burton, and Hans Christian Andersen to name a few — Thunberg is an amazing example for him, in part because of her age. She is 16, making her the same generation as my 7-year-old.
Thunberg previously tweeted, “I have Asperger’s and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And — given the right circumstances — being different is a superpower.
