Try telling that to those who are isolated and without help it kind of feels like a life sentence. Though I understand why those that are not would be offended. Perhaps more subjectivity is needed. Before the whole prison and senatce advocacy manifest I did say online that I felt like I was in prison but since I got Regional Center services I am nothing like that anymore. People who want to help are not Nazi's just perhaps overzealous in awareness to assure me and others in need of help have what we need. I think they mean well and I am greatfull.

The peer politics creating intolerance toward compassion is coming to an end. Pity accusations, indifferent advocacy against isolation awareness and for pride in an image of autism is injustice.
