Autism Conference

[Guest guest]

Hi

I don't post often, but I have to chime in on this one. I fully agree with

what Tina had to say.

Kassi, if you are happy being autistic, no-one wants to fix you, but there

are people on this list who's kids have no way to communicate even

basic needs (my almost 9yo is one of them). I think the problem is that

your autism prevents you from seeing any point of view but your own.

Would you be happy if you were unable to communicate? Imagine having

words in your head to express what you want and feel, and then being

unable to get them out in any way. How would you feel if it was your child

that you faced placing in an institution one day?

If I could get my daughter to your level of functioning (I'm guessing you're

Aspergers) I would consider that as good as a cure. Yes, she would still

be autistic, but she'd be in a position to care for herself one day.

Think about what other people on the list are going through before you

say we're all NY bigots - you continually come across as arrogant and

selfish - but then, that's just part of who you are, isn't it?
