I just want to say how amazing what Peter Capaldi did for that boy was, but I’d like to comment on the fact that all the headlines (including trending descriptions etc.) say ‘Peter Capaldi sends video to nine-year old autistic boy’. What? Why is it necessary for it to say this boy has autism? Would they put 'Peter Capaldi sends video to nine-year old blond boy’? No, because it’s unnecessary information and it’s promoting an idea that autism defines someone, which it doesn’t. Any nine-year old would be grieving and they don’t have to have autism for that, putting a label on autism isn’t how society should be dealing with it, it is a part of someone along with the millions of other parts of their personality, intelligence and emotions. Along with the fact that autism is a spectrum, it’s not quite as black and white as people make it out to be, it’s not like having a disease; it’s a sliding scale that everyone is on.
