Until you have lived with someone with autism I don't think it's for you to judge what I find frustrating about the condition and its wider implications. All of these articles are always about specific and positive circumstances, but they never disclaim that and people interpret them broadly.
You would also appear to have a rather narrow definition of "media." If a company's post on a public blog for reporters to pick up on isn't media (I think it is), then would that same post being relayed via Hacker News be?
- TWAndrews 13y agoI can imagine it's frustrating, but are you suggesting that the father shouldn't have written it, or that coursera shouldn't have reposted it to their public blog? Both of those seem a bit ridiculous to me, particularly given that it's very clearly a story about one kid with a particular set of autism-related symptoms, and no claim or suggestion that coursera is, in general, helpful for folks with autism.
- wyck 13y agoUsing a blanket terms like media" often implies an agenda, in this case it's just a father's story. I'm not sure where you're coming from with such an accusatory tone but it's not working.
