| This is the difference v disability debate. Lots of NTs including family relatives may display autistic like traits or BAP (broad autism phenotype) but they are not to the level of autism or where it is a serious problem impacting independent life or employment prospects, this is particularly true ... |

| How do you know they weren't disabled by their neurotype? My grandfather held a job and did the best he could before going AWOL and eventually shooting himself in the head. My grandmother had considerable depression from the social requirements of masking, acting neurotypical around other women, we... |

Maybe I've missed something but i cant see this lawsuit succeeding, how can they prove the autism wasn't there at birth, when medical science don't even know what causes autism apart from genes.
Probably lawyers trying to make money encouraging the lawsuit |

| Following on from previous comment it seems a feedback loop is being created ND advocates making stuff up, NTs including some scientists and medical practitioners, those who know better going along with what is said for fear of offending and a misplaced sense of the need to lie to be kind to not hur... |

| When they use the term profound autism they are referring to these types of people https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j4PTf7LgsIEn I got around today to watch this. What this mother has to deal with is really difficult for her. She needs support and help. She seems to be very stressed out but her son de... |

| There are non-autistic people with intellectual disabilities that have a high need of support and that behave in a dangerous way to themselves and others. So why is it so hard to understand that autistic people with intellectual disabilities will have more severe problems than highly intelligent on... |

| Sigh... Again and again and again; what makes the autism profound? Do they actually know? Is their autism truly profound, that they are indeed trapped in an overwhelmed and unreliable body? THEY need treatments to make lives easier and accessible. Or, their autism is not truly profound; that whoeve... |

| There are as many different types of autism as there are autistic people. But as this is a bit too complex for people to grasp, and for the purposes of 'treatment', there's a tendency to divide us into groups. This used to be diagnoses like classic autism (which would likely cover those with moveme... |

I’m not sure the way out of this problem for the severely autistic.
The bottom line is someone has to look after them 24/7
So who does if the parents are unable or not around? |
