Most parents don’t know what an autism conciousness is like to experience and are operating in a broad information wilderness where conflicting information, dead-end hopes and unlimited chances of wrong-turns, hound their every care impulse. They know full-well the hauting possibility that their actions maybe wrong and they are painfully aware that their best may not be good enough. Explosive tempers of the child can cause all manner of unseen frictions in the wary, scared and frustrated parental brain that the parents themselves could be considered of special needs in the end.

“people talk about acceptance yet they want to drug their children to high heaven ”

yay, I WANT to drug my child to high heaven.. careful, your ignorance is showing. The suffering that goes on when a child has a brain condition that overwhelms them beyond daily, social interraction is the reason why drug solutions are pursued.. if you have a good idea, perhaps you might consider leaving it as a comment instead.

We want to cure our children of their condition because, in the laws of nature, when we die, we want to die with the knowledge they are able to take care of themselves.

Sorry to rant, it was the assumption of wanting to drug our childen to high heaven that I was reacting to

“Acceptance, understanding, and support for these children and adults with autism has been slow in coming, but largely thanks to a number of strong and amazing parents it’s underway.”

Many parents have mostly been a barrier to autism acceptance and understanding, or indeed support. Their insistence that we are a disease that needs curing is nothing more than eugenics in the home. What is disingenuous is that people talk about acceptance yet they want to drug their children to high heaven or warp them in to ‘normal’ human beings.
