Famous People on the Spectrum

The autism spectrum has produced some of the most brilliant minds or gifted people in history. It's also produced a lot of ordinary people who did extra-ordinary things. Sometime people need a reminder that being on the spectrum doesn't mean that you're limited. You can be who you want to be.
