I think this article does a good job of trying to bring in the voices of some of those parents. Like, it's one thing for an autistic teenager who is otherwise getting by in a main stream high school to say, "I don't want your stupid noisy dances with the flashing lights and the smelly people all bumping into each other. Why can't you leave me alone about it, or just let me organize board game night as an alternative in a different part of the school?" It's quite another for someone to have such profound difficulty communicating that they smash their head against walls and cause themselves brain damage trying to get some point across. It seems like it should be entirely valid to have different treatments for these different cases, and it does seem very unfair for people having the first kind to universalize their own experience to include people having the second kind.
