| what exactly is the self entitled victim mentality This idea that everyone and everything is out to discriminate against autistic people. This idea of neurotypical privilege is another example. Another example is believing that teaching autistic people "eye contact" is cruel or that eye c... |

I just mentioned it as one example of the hypocrisy of the autism "rights/neurodiversity movement in supporting a side that pushes for abortion [as well as this self-entitled victim mentality using the a... |

| There is one but it is in its toddler stage. I do not see it expanding in the next few years because of the increasing anti Neurodivesity movement backlash. Any concept of an autistic "culture" is a joke that'll fall apart. Why should we celebrate a disease that you say makes autistic peo... |

| Can you show where autism or disbiliity rights organization favored disability specific abortion because I have not seen it. Here is one example: https://rewire.news/article/2012/08/30/lives-worth-living-disability-abortion-and-slipshod-ethics/ ''Choosing abortion because you don’t have the capacit... |

| Of course I strongly believe in G-d. There had to be a creator behind the universe. Something doesn't come out of nothing. Btw, I'm a religious person myself. |

| What are you talking about? Pretty much every Neurodiversity advocate bitterly opposes Autism Speaks because they think the genetic research bieng funded by Autism Speaks will be used to identify Autistic fetuses leading to them bieng aborted. I have read thousands upon thousands of critisms of Aut... |

| I was diagnosed with autism when I was four years old. Now I am in my mid-teens and I have been looking at how the internet sees autism. I came across the autistic rights movement when I was 15. I like the idea of how the members want people to treat them right and have autism recognised as not bei... |

| What's your point? Look, I don't condone abortion [unless needed to save the mother's life when the fetus is a rodef i.e. pursuer] the same way I don't condone other types of murder or stealing. If there was a horrible famine in another country and a mother there chose to ate her kids, I would unde... |

| Of course it's perfectly fine. The idea of an autistic "culture" is a joke. It's promoters oppose ABA, which was crucial in getting me to talk and write posts like these. I can't stand the autism "rights" or the neurodiversity movements. |

| Btw, I'm not the only person "debating" on this thread anyway. I'm stating the reality that any thread that invites people to post their political views will result in a debate. |
