| The issue is one of personal choice. Some people however want to impose their own demands on others which is wrong. I've always been critical of those in the ND movement who wish to ban the idea of curing autism and the idea of treating autism. Likewise claiming everyone with autism should want a c... |

| Ive seen this channel & others and they are quite good at helping people, although practice is a lot harder than just knowing, i wish these resources existed when i was younger. Those who complain about being made less autistic miss the point. The world doesn't care about our autism, try to help... |

| There is a significant body of research that demonstrates that the marginalization, discrimination, violence, and abuse autistic people face on a daily basis is comparable to any other minority group. But despite that, we rarely see anyone talk about the marginalization of autistic people. Yep. The... |

| Most studies point out that most people with Autism Spectrum Disorder are more likely to be victims rather than perpetrators. Why did some scientists create the term "Criminal autistic Psychopathy"? It kind of sounds ableist, to be honest. Those outdated articles are found in Google Schol... |
