“They’re good listeners and they’re going to listen to you, but they have a sense of ‘I have to take care of you,’” says author, speaker and certified autism coach Laura Schuman, who has Asperger’s syndrome.
And because they are so caring, it’s challenging for them to tell other people the truth about themselves.
“ESFJs are often very anxious about telling other people about their problems,” says Peter Gerhardt, author of Asperger's Syndrome: The Complete Guide. “It's because they're worried that the other person won't like them anymore or that this person will think they're crazy.”

Autism Speaks Inc. is the largest autism advocacy organization in the United States. It sponsors autism research and conducts awareness and outreach activities aimed at families, governments, and the public. It was founded in Feb 2005
Autism Speaks has been the focus of controversy; over 60 disability rights organizations have condemned the organization for failing to represent autistic people, and for exploitative practices. The autism rights movement and neurodiversity advocates see autism as a difference rather than a disease that needs to be cured and have criticized Autism Speaks for seeking a cure. In response, former president Liz Feld has stated that one-3rd of people with autism also have a seizure disorder, half suffer serious digestive complications, 50 percent wander, and more than 30 percent are nonverbal, claiming that those difficulties can only be solved through medical research. However, the word "cure" was dropped from its mission statement in 2016.
