[quote="Asp-Z"][quote="bdhkhsfgk"][quote="gemstone123"][quote="bdhkhsfgk"][quote="Asp-Z"][quote="bdhkhsfgk"]You seem to be completely unaware of the fact that many parents of severely autistic children gets their lives destroyed, I can feel their pain.[/quote]
You seem to be completely unable to actually give me any evidence of that.[/quote]
I talked to some parents of autistic children IRL, and I asked them if they had to choose between a child with autism and an NT child, they would choose an NT child, because it's a burden to have a child with autism.
I'm an aspie, and I would definitely choose an NT child instead of a child with autism without a second thought, just ask your parents and friends if they would want to.[/quote]
That's too general a thing to say. Of course some parents would not want their autistic children to have difficulties (particularly if their children have severe autism) but at the same time a lot of people would not change their autistic children for NT children. However it depends on the parents and children as obviously some autistic children are extremely difficult to care for. Besides a lot of NT children are nightmares. :twisted:[/quote]
You can't compare NT children to children with autism, NT children have a future, children with autism don't, they end up in institutions.[/quote]
OK, that's utter crap. I present to you Bram Cohen - he has Asperger's. He invented BitTorrent, the biggest P2P network in the world. It makes up for about 40% of all internet traffic. He also started BitTorrent Inc. and has become a millionaire as a result.
Then, of course, there's the speculation of Bill Gates, Einstein, etc.[/quote]
Let's not forget Temple Grandin!
