| So, in reality.. are some people with HFA insisting we don't acknowledge the existence of those with very disabling autism because they make them look bad? Nice.

| Why don't we just show sympathy for NT's rather than paint them as our "enemies", please? And I don't honestly think because some Youtubers use the "R" word or make jokes necessarily makes one a truly wicked person. They can be good people at what they do. I don't hate on anyone... |

| We have every right to judge attitudes Actually you don't. First of all you a about a FICTIONAL character.. second of all if you do not know the parents or their child then you have NO idea what their lives are like or what challenges THEIR child faces. Just because you share an ASD label with a ra... |

Condemning or judging then.
When a child is diagnosed with anything, be it a disability or medical problem experiencing grief is a very natural and normal precess. It does not make them bigots or mean they do not love or accept their child. |

Some do.. but only if they have the same type of autism and that insight may be welcome only when it is actually asked for. Given the vitriol expressed towards parents generally of course many a... |

I'm not sure it's discrimination but you may have been bullied.

| This "parent bashing" thing again? I'm sure you must know many people on the Autism spectrum have a history of being silenced, told they must only speak well of others, be good and compliant. Many Autistic people have suffered due to the idea that parents can never be criticized. Will you be the on... |
