| I consider going around being anti-cure as being a bully. So, to force an individual to change in way that may be extremely disturbing for him or her isn't bullying?

| As I said, I doubt there will ever be some drug or treatment to change our neurology, just a treatment which may cause a temporary difference. If someone doesn't want to be treated, then when given the treatment they will be able to say "No, I don't want to take any more of this, thanks anyway" or ... |

| I think that pushing anti-cure ideas is bullying. Excuse me? Being anti-cure is bullying? None of us need curing. The point I make time and time again is that even autistics at the serious low-functioning end of the spectrum are often perfectly happy in their own world. Why try to force them into t... |

How are the parents of these children allowing this to happen?
This is insanity, a mental condition far worse than that which any of the aforementioned children have!
Given the option, I would electrocute everyone responsible. This actually made me want to seriously hurt someone! |

| You just crossed species, humans to gorillas, so that might not be a good comparison. If you are going to bring in a gun for a human to exercise 'strength' over a gorilla than you may as well put a human in a super sonic jet and claim him/her as the fastest flying species in the world.
