Don't Cure Autism Now!
No one wants to see people suffer because of sensory issues, frustration from
inability to communicate, or to be unable to live without constant
assistance, as is the case with many autistic people throughout their
lifetime. That does not, however, mean that the whole group, necessarily
including the more able autistics like myself, must be eliminated. The
formula is so obvious to me-- eliminate the awful things associated with
autism, and celebrate and appreciate the wonderful contribution that the
difference between normal people and autistics brings to society. Don't wage
war against autism-- if you win... I mean, if you really defeat autism... all
of society loses. Let's celebrate autism, and help autistic people to be the
best they can. We'll appreciate it, and society will be the benefactor. >>
