Re: Don't support Autism Speaks this month. They're a horrible charity.

Right? It's not like they're saying they're going to force treatment on everyone, but it sure would be nice for people like my cousin who has autism on pretty much the opposite side of the spectrum from aspergers or 'highly funtional' people.

I respect the different arguments and philosophies within the disability communities, but the "cures are evil full stop!" camp has always really bothered me and seems very selfish and short sighted.

Cure should be the choice of the individual affected. I got no problem with people wanting to be cured, but I abhor it when I see people saying they would cure a loved on in a heartbeat because the caregiver is tired of providing care.

How would you feel if someone changed your entire brain without giving you a choice in the matter?

The issue is choice and autonomy, and it's always taken away from autistic people.

What if they can't make that choice? What if they are on the extreme end of the severe spectrum? The kids who literally can't communicate with the world outside their head?
