Throw the baby out, with the bath water............where did you get that impression

[Guest guest]

Throw the baby out with the bath water,, all I've seen at this group is loving

parents talking with other parents for advice to help their child...

Still autistic.

What I have a problem with is throwing out the baby with the bathwater...saying

that all of

autism is bad and should be eliminated because there is a cluster of associated

problems

that should be fixed. The gut problems, metal toxicity, seizures that sometimes

happen,

fix those. But the genetic component isn't going away without killing some

really valuable

traits too, and some valuable people. So fix the biological problems, and teach

today's

autistic kids how to adapt to their differences, instead of that who we are is

wrong (like my

generation and the one before me, if we were identified, be it as autistic or

just as

different).

Just my two cents.

I guess you missed the post saying that autistic individuals shouldn't continue

to be born (I

forget the exact wording). Most cure mentality, at its core, also throws out a

lot of good and

not just the bad-and this list isn't as bad as many with that-but that is what

got this line

started.

who doesn't doubt that everyone here loves their children, does have other

musings, but has

enough empathy to not pose them to risk hurting parents the way parents hurt her

every day

when they say the world would be better without people like her.
