Just read the articles you linked to about autism in France. It's horrifying. Incidentally, I've got an official Asperger's diagnosis, and a year in Paris as part of my degree. Eeeeeeep.
Yikes. o.o Just make sure you do whatever you need to in order to keep yourself safe. Hopefully it won’t be too bad, but France definitely doesn’t sound like a haven of understanding and acceptance. More like a hive of scum and villainy.
