anti-cure is known as the autism pride movement. Look it up.
You made the claim, now provide the link.
Do the research. I'm not mentioning the organization(s). Autism pride began with the anti-cure movement. I was there talking to the people online who began it and the founder in private chat. I know a great deal about it. The constant methods are to blend identity with a disorder label and find offence over the smallest things to prevent "eugenics". It started in the U.K then spread to the United States.
Debating me you would have to have an extremely in-depth knowledge of it. Even AlanTurning in his pride makes remarks about selective genetics in the gene pool about sperm donations. That's a good context to his pride politics and is not about simply having overcome in life. It's a emotional political life force in orgin with certain agenda's and whose agenda's will interfere with whatever may indirectly effect other agenda's.
Compassion (they call pity) makes autism look inferior and they want to explain the inferior at times as the cobrid conditions.
I'd have to ask you to prove me wrong because I know so much about it and every-time I speak about it they find ways to attack my organization which is about inclusion opportunity because they fear what I say. Even the idea of compassion with inclusion can be seen as a threat to them that to reflect on the image of autism wrongly to some is a threat to prides agenda.
I ask for a real debate about these issues on YouTube with prior contract to redistribute. Other then that I've spent to much time in these issues. I have a job to be working on and cannot switch interest to easy.
Personally I have no pride in what holds me back but am proud of simply accepting I have a disability and overcoming in my own way. I do not need to redefine a disorder label to overcome. If people say bad things about autism that to me represents the barriers and I do not often take it personally unless someone was to call me autistic which is dehumanizing as I am not a label I am a human. Most people mean well by it though.
