See, I think that future would be great...but, in the end, I still feel we'd go the wrong way if people felt they would HAVE to be treated, and I'm sort of wary about "eradicating" certain things, especially with genetic basis, because you never know what you're eradicating.

Case in point: sickle cell disease. Bad at first glance, useful in some contexts.

Good God this.

I'm an autistic who's tired of being told I need to be "cured" because I'm supposedly a burden on other people and told that I'm being "selfish" by other people for feeling this way. .

[kallanda_lee]

You be you, anon. If you're happy as you are, then that's what matters.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you. That means a lot to me.

[kallanda_lee]

You are welcome. And I'm serious. I do not think anyone owes explanation or justification for their existence to anyone else. In the end all any of us can do is try to make the time we have on earth as pleasant as possible.

Eradicating all the things would also be eradicating agency, IMO. Which is a big no in most parts of the world. Hopefully it stays that way.

[(Anonymous)]

Agency is overrated in some areas.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay. I think some aspect of you is causing you suffering. I even have a bunch of people who agree with me , one is a scientist!

Agency is overrated and I think this trait is hurting you and burdening others. I'm just going to fix you now. Okay? Cool.

[(Anonymous)]

Congratulations. You are now an anti-vaxxer. Are you proud of yourself for having grossly distorted AYRT's argument?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, it was a stupid argument. :)

[(Anonymous)]

1 I was being sarcastic.

2. I didn't "grossly distort" jack shit. I was pointing out to them a huge problem with the notion of deciding that someone else's agency "doesn't matter" in favor of yours.

[(Anonymous)]

ROFL.

[diet_poison]

what if that person IS actually causing suffering?

like real pain?

I mean we're always talking on this comm about how people are allowed to cut out toxic people even if those people are toxic because of mental illness. (I'm not talking about autism since I don't know much about it but stuff like depression and other psychiatric illnesses can make you toxic.)

I don't think cutting someone out should be a first resort but people are acting like the suffering of those around them doesn't matter and that's very callous imo.

AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

Um....I wasn't talking about cutting out people so much as I was talking about discarding agency when it comes to "cures"

Re: AYRT

[diet_poison]

So what are your alternatives? If you have a person who is legitimately causing suffering to those around them (and again, that DOES happen) what do you think is the best course of action?

[kallanda_lee]

That statement is scary on so many levels.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

Yeah, I actually agree, it's not a pleasant thing to contemplate. :-(
