| Going back to the original topic - I've noticed parents of Autistic children are worse than Autistic adults. I post on a Facebook group which is mostly full of parents with Autistic children and there's a lot of "how do I get this and that?" There was one moaning because they only got one night per ... |

Some of us have received no support following our diagnosis. When I complained about this, I was told that I was signposted to support. Except, I wasn't, really.
Some people think that because I'm high functioning, I don't need support. I am also physically disabled. |

| I really don't agree with the idea that someone should use their child's disability to avoid working for a living. I don't either. I do understand people saying they can't work (but would love to) because of their child's disability. (because it's not possible to work during the day if you're up fo... |

| I have friends with children on the spectrum who don't want a cure. Their argument being (which I agree with) that it'll change the child's personality; but no-one knows how their personality will change. Which is why I don't want a cure. I have also come across parents who get a diagnosis for their... |

| What would this cure do? It would most certainly change your personality and maybe a few other bits you don't want / need changing. |

| There is a cure, but it's not simple and it's not a little pill or a magic formula. It's learning to adapt. Going by your bizarre logic, a blind person who has adapted to their disability is cured because they've adapted. Yet, they're still blind and they still have the disease which caused them to... |

| When I went to a special school in 1997, I was a rare case. Everyone else were mentally ret*d infantile autists. Then there came others like me. And then some who were more well-functioning than me. And then some that are so socialized that I can't see the difference between them and Neurotypicals.... |

| Discussion on another forum: It started off asking if you'd date someone with Autism / Aspergers and then turned into "well, everyone has Autistic traits" and because of this, there supposedly should be no issue with dating someone with AS / Autism.
