I think Colin where you and me vary is not in relation to anti pyscotic
drugs and the like where I share your opposition, but with the idea of a
"cure" at all. I see the way I am as a legitimate way of being. I believe in
education and intervention and regard diet as no better than drugs. Of
course it is the individuals right, if they are given the choice to choose
either or none, and a prison is not an environment conducive to free choice.
As for the Criminal justice system, that is a product of our society which
produces criminals through inequalities in education and distribution of
wealth, not neurodiversity. We are unequally represented therin because of
our lower status in society nothing to do with diet.
To shift the blame for econominc distribution onto something like diet or
"breeding" is a crime in my opinion and this is what is happening.
