Re: Autism Activism? I think I'm missing something, here.

Maybe those people don't want to be "cured"? It's not a fucking disease.

It's a disorder that hinders social interaction.

I don't see what benefits not improving upon lack of social skills could provide.

Re: Autism Activism? I think I'm missing something, here.

Technically, it is.


1. a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity, or unfavorable environmental factors; illness; sickness; ailment.

In this case, the incorrectly functioning organ is your brain. The parts that should be lighting up in an MRI scan don't do so in a way the average brain would.

...but what about the ones that do?

No, it's not a disease. But do you really think the individuals who are so profoundly autistic that they cannot even take care of themselves are leading happy lives? REALLY?

I'm all for empowering those with disabilities (including myself), but those who scream they don't want any help for themselves aren't thinking about those who cannot function. At all.

Those are the ones who need help, and I think it's cruel to try and keep someone in a sub-standard of living due to ignorance of those on the higher functioning end of the spectrum.
