Yeah I saw this post.
I was up very late last night because my son was having a real shouting tantrum because he couldn't have the downstairs lights and TV on while he was supposed to be be going to sleep upstairs. He's a teenager and nearly as tall as I am.
I guess people who are opposed to treatments which improve functioning for kids with ASD must have an easier life than we all do, including my son.
They have no right to speak for us.
It's because there's a large wedge of people out there who use autism as a trendy diagnosis for their child so they can feel like they matter, much like ADD was used in the 90s.
If you take the non verbal and you lift them higher with a treatment, it means their close to normal children should also show signs of improvement - but they won't. And also, they can't improve because then the parent won't be special anymore.
Yes, that can happen.
It's a terrible thing to withhold treatment like that just to preserve the parents' identity.
The lies about their identity are all they have because they believe that supporting your spouse and kids is a heinous subjugation.
The FAFO is coming.
Just wanted to make sure you saw this. At least another 2-3 here, too, but brainfarting on their names right now.
u/NeverStopBelieving is one.
