I mean selfishly I would say towards reducing the social isolation of interlectually able autistic adults. I apreciate there are many other good, arguably more worthy, causes. But we are the cinderelas of the autism services world. We are basicly treated as if we are invisable.
Well, we are a minority and we have lesser need for support. I had seen high support people, and I can accept the fact that they will get priority. Some of them were unable to take a shower or get an haircut without extensive help from a support worker.
yes I have heard these arguments before. but when you factor in depresion and sucide rates into it you need to reasses things. Suporting people to feel like life is worth living is as inportant as suporting people to live. And again autistic people of normal or abouve average inteligence make up the majority of autistic people.
Here's an article that might give you guys a bit of food for thought.

There is no value in acknowledging the way the world is now unless you have a plan to make it better.
You are talking about how the world should be. I agree with you, by the way, but I know that there is no hope to see it happen.

We are just talking about different things.
