all children should be slain upon diagnosis of autism.

I stopped watching halfway through. You spurned me when I tried to turn to your organisation for help, and left me to have my father violate my senses yet again. I see and hear perfectly fine, fukk you very much.

I have autism, I sometimes do feel trapped by it, knowing that I will always suffer from it. I will always have sensory problems, I will always have problems reading facial expressions and body language, I will always have problems with the thousands of other aspects of everyday life that it effects. But at the same time I think that individuals on the autism spectrum have a lot to offer this world and I wouldn't cure my ASD given the option (I think more serious ASD should be cured/made mild).

this is so... distressing, scary. is that what they feel?

I have a 3 year old relative with autism... i am so so worried about him.

@yaronkl It is distressing and scary because the 33 year olds who are autistic (ie me) have to watch you repeat the same mistake our 60 year old relatives made. Namely mistake these people for having ever spoken for us. The words/title/song REFUSE/RESIST continue to say it all for me when they should not. Please learn to understand that and maybe at some point we can revisit the real problem.
