I made my father watch Temple Grandin on Youtube and her bio-movie on HBO. He kept on going on about how she was crazy as a child and grew out of it. 
I told him no they figured out what medicine worked for her. He then went on to say I did not throw tempertantrums I just turned my head away from people when they talked to me. He said I was just really shy and still am, he then said I do not need medicine even though I showed how much of a better life Dr. Temple Grandin is having on meds. He then looked at me and said might as well not use them now your 40 its too late to be normal might as well finish out the ride the way you are. 
I hope neither of my brother give them grand children they do not deserve them. My parents are the reason I believe people should have to go through a parenting class and be licensed before having children. You need a liscense to have a dog or a pistol why not a child. They should monitor the first child they have for 5 years and if its normal they would be allowed to have more.

further. I'm pretty much of an anti-natalist these days. Bringing humans
into existence is like playing russian roulette with the devil. Considering
it's possible to produce one such as myself, it seems to make procreation
an action with the cruelest of all potentialities even in the case of ideal
parents. In any event....I think people ought to get a PhD in parenting
before they're allowed to raise children. Needless to say...I am exaggerating
JUST a bit
.....but I think my point is clear.
People act like parenting is just a right and i'm not arguing whether
it should be in the legal sense of the term or not. I'm saying that it
SHOULD NOT be in the ethical sense of the term. If billions of people,
rich and poor, "dumb" and "smart", etc....truly viewed the welfare of
their children as the highest priority....they wouldn't have any.
Some people just aren't cut out to be parents...it doesn't matter what
other qualities they do or do not possess. Again....I can't say for certain
I would've turned out any better if I had better parents, but there's at
least reason to suspect I would've. My parents weren't even invested
in my education on any level. Even after I pleaded with them for 18
years to believe me when I told them there was something terribly
wrong with my brain. I'd say it's pretty important for parents to be
invested in their child's education when that child has a significant
learning disability/neurological disorder.
