I've nearly lost my supper reading that horrible example of an article.

Urgh. 'disease', 'patients', 'the kiss of death for pharmaceutical companies', 'too much work'?


Did anyone notice the link half-way through to an article about a cure for ebola? Seems like there was a comparison being made there.

That reporter should be fired. I don't have a disease, he can piss off.

The article itself is enough to make me want to tear my hair out, but..urrgg....the ignorance in those comments.

*reads article*

It's media like that that keeps this whole freaking planet in THE DARK AGES! They may as well go back to burning people with epilepsy at the stake and boring holes in the skulls of migraine sufferers.

When will the world ever wake up to the acceptance of cultural diversity? I am sick and tired of being a puzzle with arrogant know it alls searching for my missing puzzle piece. I know that we autistics (gee, the red misspelling highlighter even comes on when I refer to us in the plural) come in all varieties of gifts, talents, and challenges. But we are human beings and part of the human machine that makes the world progress. By wiping autism off of the globe, a new puzzle will be born, one depicting the earth with a missing puzzle piece. It will be broken, and they will wonder what happened. And then they will realize that it needed autistics to progress the earth along with the non-autistic population. But then it will be too late. They will have gotten rid of autism, that condition they perceived as a plague. But rather than killing, this plague made the earth advance in ways they were too arrogant to understand.

I understand there are a great many autistics incredibly challenged and in need of help. But I also understand there a great many of us autistics, many of which were diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, (gee, let's red highlight Asperger's as well) that progress the world.

Sorry, the bell just rang and school is out. I am heading home.

"Perfect genetic experiment"--weren't the Nazis into that sort of thing too?
