OMG. This is horrible.

I was going to say that this was already posted elsewhere, but was proven wrong.

Who wants to e-mail these scientists saying that the reason for the 'increase' is that more people are finding out that they have it, and not because it's spreading to more people!?! It pisses me off how stupid these scientists are.

Oops. Looks like I did a repost as well.

KBABZ, explain further...

KBABZ, come to think of it, your response has no relevance to the content of this article.

Well, I avoided elaborating because it is a very touchy subject, but because you asked, I will.

What I mean is that sometimes Autism and/or AS can get to such a severity the person who has it would do everything they do on impulse (do what they want because they like it). For example, I read somewhere that someone had an HFA child so far up the Spectrum he was impossible to handle and take care of. He'd climb everything, and when he was told not to or restricted, he'd throw massive anger and crying fits, no matter what they tried to control the behaviour. As far as I can tell, nearly everyone on WP is below this kind of severity, but anyone at that level would upon first glance would definitely be classed as handicapped.

Before you throw chairs and rotten fruit at me, let me explain. Because it is a Spectrum, Autistic disorders (using the tern 'disorders' in a flexible manner) and it comes in different severities, so does the 'handicap'. Most everyone on WP and elsewhere is at such a level where it's very debatable to call it a handicap. However, in the few instances, it is at such a high level where handicapped doesn't exactly sound like a bad name for it at all.

This is where the cure comes in. If and when it is developed, made and manufactured, anyone with HFA as strongly as the above child would come under immediate scrutiny and attention of the cure. The question is: does he want it? To me, the most obvious answer from the kid is a flat out no, possibly due to not really thinking about it because he'd want to climb something tall. Now do you think others would take his word for it and not give it to him? Most likely not, and so whoever involved would probably give the cure to him anyway.

One possible solution I came up with is the cure coming in different strengths. Basically it lowers your status on The Spectrum for a bit. I'll leave it to you to theorize on that.

(NOTE: Upon using the Preview feature to check for any recent posts, I noticed xon's second comment. This post has some sort of relevance in the fact of the cure, again)

Only on my terms.

Get ready, the revoultion is coming.

Are you with the Neruotypicals or are you with us?

You say you want a revolution,
well you know we're all doing what we can

Unless there's a Decorder Ring or Lightsaber or something equally cool I'm staying out of this bloodbath.
