Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I am a very open-minded and understanding person. Sometimes in the autism community (mostly online) simply discovery conversation is not possible. There are those that don't want to get along and I believe disagree to disagree. My purpose has been to understand and not judge. I feel that the programs I and others participate in to be part of the community may be defined by some as becoming normal thus insulting to others. As if to desire to be part of the community and also being employed by these facilitations as part of these programs paid for by California government (medi-cal) is curing. I simply want to make sure that no matter someones point of view for cure and anti-cure they are not seeking to keep me in the house, others as well and destroy programs that integrate us as I have even seen the term integration in " pride along with anti-cure " movements frowned upon. I believe I and others have the right, the choice and human right to receive services (can be considered treatment) that can be considered making us normal are not being attacked so as long as an individual freely chooses to be part of them. I feel it would be an attack upon human rights, quality of life and for the sake of another persons ego sometimes having to do with abortion politics and the imagine of autism in society. It would seem not all need these services and I want to make sure it's respected and not being attempted to be destroyed.

However despite having an ASD myself I have not taken a side and when I try to think openly to figure things out I am censored in a anti-cure forum. I think of social problems as science problems in part. > > > > > > Can anyone share their opinion? > > > > > > When I first posted here as an autism self-advocate in introduction one person called me an ASPIE and an ASAN. Please know my perceptions of these things were at first not even aware of ASAN and never quite liking titling myself as anything though others have the freedom to. > > > > > > Young > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
