CEASE Therapy

drewmunn

I was recently followed on Twitter by a company called CEASE Therapy. Having looked at what they do, and what they stand for, I decided to write them an open letter. In short, CEASE Therapy claims to cure autism using homeopathic treatments. Now, I'm neither a believer in homeopathy, nor in curing autism, so I wrote this letter to vent my frustration at such claims, and to see if they would explain themselves. Much to my surprise, they replied. They didn't say much, beyond the fact they don't share my belief that autism can't be cured.

I'm also interested in what people here have to say about their claims; do you believe autism is something that can be cured? Do you think it's something that should be cured? I think of it very much like race, gender, or sexuality; it's part of a person, not a disease or illness. In fact, I think autism can bring about greatness. I agree that it's not nice seeing people struggle with everyday life, but do you think it's worth the possible heartbreak? You can read my letter, and their reply, here. I'd welcome anything you have to say on the matter.

Thanks in advance. Smile

  • I have only this to say to CEASE:

    Imagine a world where everyone on the planet has some form of ASD, all on varying parts of the spectrum. What would it be like?

    A quieter less judgemental place in my opinion. If everyone with any form or symptoms of ASD were to be 'eliminated' (seriously? Who runs this company, Hitler reincarnated?) what would the remaining 'normal' people do? Get drunk, drive at things, have petty squabbles and never bother progressing humanity?

    Sad people like that are out there really....can't they focus on a real threat, like cancer, children dying of starvation or even preserving the planet?
