Sorry, what is eugenics? That is ridiculous.
Eugenics is attempting to control evolution by eliminating "undesirable" genetics....think Nazi-ism and the Holocaust.
Basically if you're on the autism spectrum, "Autism Speaks" thinks you shouldn't have been born at all.
I double my notion of that being ridiculous. People with Autism are no less than others without it.
Ya! just try explaining that to parents with autistic kids.
My parents never really made me feel like I was less equal than others, but they definitely let me know I am different. And sometimes they just don't understand me. But luckily, they have never said they wished I weren't the way I am (I'm not 1000% sure I am autistic, I am going through the assessment now, I am currently diagnosed with NLD)
