sayings like , "autism is a superpower" or "autism isn't a disability, it is a different ability" worry me sometimesI feel like this invalidates people who aren't quite comfortable with being Autistic or Autistic people who feel as though their ASD has more negative than positive impacts or those who feel as though their diagnosis has an equal amount of positive and negative effects. I understand these sayings have positive intentions and are meant to empower Autistic people, but it just kinda comes off as inspirational stuff to me. Again this is good.
But two thirds of autistic people are in the mid and severe ends of the spectrum and so will probably never/rarely be in this forum or have their voice/opinions heard.
I am lucky to be the way I am. But there are days I wish I could swallow a pill and my autism would be gone.
I am equal amounts of positive and negative with shrinking negatives.
But I always think about those who are really suffering on the spectrum.
Do you feel Autism is a real downer for you ? how bad is it ? and most importantly ,,,,,,,,,What can be done to help or change things for you?
Let's not forget that it wasn't too long ago that the accepted term for people with a disability was an 'invalid'. There are people who find being labelled as 'dis-abled' just as victimising as being labelled as 'in-valid'.

Official NewSpeak - cannot call a spade a spade any more. All about keeping the rules changing to trip people up and keep the woke mob in business. The next stage is the Scottish-type hate-speech bill where anyone who says anything that can be perceived as slightly negative about anyone or anything is automatically a criminal and will be jailed when outed.
I'm sorry you had to go through that.
I went to private christian school where we got the video on girls & the boys got to watch both the girls/boys videos. WTF.
It's not about 'educating', it's about brainwashing.
The problem is to be more specific, I'd had to write War & Peace to dot every T and cross every I or have people nit-picking the minute details to try to attack anything I'd missed out - and then it expands exponentially with every reply.

Plastic Just in case you have forgotten what prompted the discussion. I think it's quite natural for me to bring someone to task for a comment in which they equate educating children about homosexuality with the downfall of civilisation.
Plastic said:Some people on this site are too psychologically fragile for me to be very, very specific. If I did, it would satisfy some but offend others - it's a no-win situation.
There are always ways to express yourself. You choose how.

Again, start your own threads on this as most people need to see empirical evidence or clear facts before they will readily believe you based on every Tom-*** & Harry on the internet. Even the most trusted journalists are held accountable to their peers.

But I agree, this thread has become a tangled mess. .
