I am trying, with great difficulty, to understand something. I could really use your help with this, it's literaly taken me over (you know the one) and I need the thinking of others. Call it an intervention!
Before I begin, please can I ask you to look over the following article?;

I have seen many posts from NT parents about 'treatment' for AS.
The question I have asked myself is, 'if I could go back and be changed into an NT by 'treatment', would I choose it?'
My firm answer is 'No'. I am the sum total of a life spent as an AS person. I can't change my past, so my best option is to use the learning that is 'the sum of who I am' to help others if I can, and especially for the next generation. If any of you think that I can be helpful and supportive, understanding and insightful, fine. If you think the opposite, also fine and I am sorry that I wasn't helpful. I do what everyone does - the best I can.
I'm an egalitarian by instinct. I will state my thoughts and opinions, but they are mine alone. When I read other people's posts, I assume the right to agree or disagree, and simply expect the same fairness back.
Thank you for listening this far, and now I've come to my taxing absorption.
I read this post under the title Stem cell treatment for autism: 'Has anyone undergone stem cell treatment for autism?'
I responded with '
This is my personal opinion. I don't argue my personal opinions, just for them.
How about 'tretament' for being NT? Their capacity for being the most illogical, spiteful, self-destructive creature on this planet leaves me staggered. I pity the poor creatures and their lack of insight, but what can you do? No-one is researching 'treatment' for them, because they collectively agree that their unsanity is 'normal'.
The inmates are running the asylum.
When Mat Bucks posted his excellent synthesis of events at noon last Friday (one page back now), I happened to notice the number of guests. It hit something like 1700, and when I looked a little later it was over 3,500.
The doubling may merely suggest a glitch in the system, it cannot count over 1000.
But normally guest numbers peak at around 400. Something happened on Friday, even if not such large numbers, which suggests to me lots of people know and care about what is happening here.
