Steve Silberman was a writer for whom autistic people were never just a subject. We were his peers and his friends. Many autistic writers-including me-owe a great deal to his support. He will be missed so much.

A huge loss to so many. Sending support to those who knew and loved him. Sending gratitude for all the ways he expanded my understanding. RIP Steve Silberman
