People who try and insinuate - or just downright insist- that you can't be autistic if you don't spend your whole life obviously stimming or if you have more than two brain cells to rub together.

Ok, this is gonna be a bit of a rant as it's something that bugs me a lot.... I’m assuming that Dizzle J Wizzle is reffering to the ‘curebie’ movement when he/she claimed they’re backed by ‘big pharma’ – which of course is the case…and in my opinion why the autism rights movement is played down by t...

I'm with you guys on the balloon thing - they still terrify me in my 40s.
