Larry
I agree with you.... Adrain stated a good term for this ignorance'. He
called it:- Neurotypical 'body-language-facism'. That says it it all for me
and Adrian has 'hit the nail right on it's head' and hammered a 'powerful'
statement towards others how our 'neurodiverse' behavioural differences are
not accepted as the 'socil-norm' within all behavioural discourses,
including SRV too.
I am with Larry on this one Thomas. I don't know what books, articles, or
websites you have been reading, but I bet they are not the 'neurodiverse'
empowered 'voices', of 'nothing about us, without us'.
Why do behaviourist always want to try and assimilate and 'cure' us?
For who's benefit and interests?
Why do they want to test all mothers for 'pre-natal' genetic testing to see
if they may be carrying a 'defective' autistic/neurodiverse gene? I can
promise you that there is 'no-such' defective gene!!
What's the real hidden-agenda from the 'new' right behind 'genetic'
testing/counselling and behavioural therapies?
What is the 'neo-liberal' agenda on empoweing disabled people, or those who
are 'different' and 'diverse'?
Why are the 'neo-liberalist' so frightened of '(neuro) diversity' and
'differences' of all kinds?
Yours
Colin R
