| I just skimmed the responses so my reply is not the most informed. Any aids for autistic symptoms does not erase who we are, anymore than a cochlear implant erased deafness.

| Some people don't like autism speaks because they only want "acceptance" and "representation". Some autistic people like the idea of a cure and would take a cure if one was offered. If you don't like autism speaks calling them a "hate group" is a way to pretend that ev... |

| Others who think for themselves would welcome any treatment to improve their impairments.
