Let's rescue all of the perfect, wonderful Aspies and Auties, and leave the nasty, filthy "Neurotypicals" to rot in hell!
You make my physically sick.
I am ashamed to call myself one of you, you selfish bigots.
I know...none of you meant that, and I'm missing the point of this thread, but I am genuinely sick of the attitudes in this forum.
Whoa. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're saying we should not restrict our protests to places that mistreat people on the autism spectrum. Instead, we should also protest places that abuse NT people as well. Correct?
NT patients that are being abused already have the ACLU and other groups fighting on their behalf. These autistic patients are being abused because of their autism. They need our voices because everyone else thinks they NEED these abusive "treatments". This has to be a focused, specific protest or the people in charge of this jail will redirect attention away from the autistics toward someone else who is already being helped and say "As you can see, we're already addressing the problem" and the media will buy it.
