| I used to have obsessions with people when I was in my teens. It would make me look like a stalker. I wasn't intending on causing any harm, I just wanted to find out everything about them because I was just so obsessed.

Not to mention those with intellectual disabilities and their families. I come from a relatively privileged background. My father was a diplomat. I was ... |

| Looks like this is coming from ND again It’s not really a debate if a gene is mutated so that it doesn’t do the job it’s supposed to do like produce a substance which has an effect on the brain then it’s a disorder not really a way around that fact.

Putting the condition before the person is de-humanising.
An autistic person, implying different to a regular person or human so to be possibly treated differently, maybe a lesser person.

Maybe some people are over exaggerating the impact of 100 or so tanks.
