Have you ever spoke to parents who need to give their severely autistic child 24h care for the rest of their lives?
- LoganDark 10d agoAre you one? Usually that happens because of other issues, not purely autism. If you have a motor disorder, or are unable to speak, or are unable to process language etc, that can happen whether you're also autistic or not. Regardless, I never said autism can't be a disability or that autistic people can't be disabled or otherwise disordered compared to "normal". Just that I wouldn't treat autism itself as the one general problem.
- bcjdjsndon 10d agoThe parents of severely autistic non verbal children needing round the clock care don't consider it "a normal and beneficial genetic variation". > Just that I wouldn't treat autism itself as the general problem. You wouldn't, because you've clearly got it mild. A lot of people say they struggle in life, and that autism would explain a lot.... What about the very real possibility your simply below average? A lot of people have to be, 49% of the entire planet to be precise, so it's hardly unlikely you couldnt possibly be below average.
- LoganDark 10d agoI never said being non-verbal or needing care around the clock was "a normal and beneficial genetic variation". I said those things would be a problem whether you also happen to be autistic or not. > You wouldn't, because you've clearly got it mild. This is getting into personal attacks. Back off, you don't know me. > A lot of people say they struggle in life, and that autism would explain a lot... This is completely different than what you were just talking about. I didn't even dispute this.
