In Al Capone Moose's family was scared to tell certain people on the island that Natalie had a personality disorder because they weren't sure if people would react in a mean or hatred way. Meghan's family on the other hand made a video about her and her story and quit their jobs so they could move closer to the school they wanted Natalie to attend.

Megan has more support and opportunities than Natalie did, because autism is socially acceptable today.

Today society is excepting autism much better than before. This is because there has been much more research and people are learning how to treat people who have autism.

Because more people know what autism is now and they can help. Now there are educations specific for people with autism. For Nat, no one really knew why she acted the way she acted. For Meghan, people know what is wrong and would like to help. Meghan has a better future because she know has help.

# data[].attributes.body
The schools are much better and involve the student more by having one on one teaching. The only problem is the price of the schools. In think this is great opportunity for students with autism. Also, I think that more research about about autism has grown since 1930 (Natalie's time period) to 2016 (Meghan's time).

# data[].attributes.body
Because people now a days have better care and their is better technology to help them. Also, people understand what autism is now. People back in the 1935 did not accept people with autism and now they do. They can also help people specifically based on there strength

Natalie had a much harder experience because people didn't understand autism and thought they should just be sent somewhere. Today there is much more research and people know what autism is.

# data[].attributes.body
More schools for them

# data[].attributes.body
The schools weren't as good as they are today. The attitudes have gotten better because instead just working with the whole class, they work one on one. Like Natalie tried to get in a better school that works one on one. She tried 2 times to get in.
