The electronic stuffed pikachu toy.... omfg we've still got two in the closet in their boxes... he broke his first one and was inconsolable until I found the second.... so I grabbed two backups when I saw them on clearance... I grew to hate that little electric mouse pokemon sometimes. My youngest son would trigger the voice box and I'd be hearing "piKAchuuuuuu" "pika! pika!" over and over again until it triggered MY Tourette's and I'd realize I was saying it too.... gaaaaaaahhhhh!! !! !

I've met some crazy parents who are soooooooo into curing their child its unbelievable. I'm always at the childrens specialized hospital, like tonight we had sensory play, played with fake snow and goo lol, maddd fun hehe
Anyways earlier i was signing in, when a mother walked up to the front desk and asked "if their was any therapies that will cure my sons autism" Her son was 6, cute, very verbal, seemed very aspie, talking like a true little professor, and the security guard goes um we have therapies to make the child high functioning, then looked at the child and said even though he seems fine to me. She was like excuse me, hes handflapping, and he spins in circles, thats Okay!? The security guard was like "whats wrong with being happy?" She then grabbed the kid by the shirt and stormed out of the hospital, ranting on and on about curing autism. I was just standing there in shock, looking at that little boy completely confused and not knowing whats going on! I guess her son just got diagnosed, but wow, i never saw a parent like that before. I looked at the security guard and he was like "some parents never learn to accept, rather just want perfection instead!" I just smiled, and walked away.
It amazes me how some parents are to a certian point where i actually can see the child suffering not because of the autism, because of how parents are desperately trying to change their child. That little boy, i will never forget his face, on how totally confused/sad he was

.That makes me so sad. I've seen that same look of confusion on my son's face sometimes when he's been expected to do something he just doesn't understand. It slays me, and I can't imagine how a parent could see that expression and not want to do everything she could to protect him from it.
I also wanted to agree with the idea that those parents (although maybe not the one above) really, truly believe they are doing something loving for their children. The media has one image of autism, and it's that of tragedy. Once my son's autism became public (with evaluations and therapies for speech and feeding) I was literally swarmed by this notion that I could and should "cure" him. I pulled him out of so many offices of therapists who clearly saw my son as a case and as his disabilities rather than as a person. It took me a good year to find voices that opposed this viewpoint and that supported my intuition that he should only be surrounded by those who understand that he's perfect just as he is, even as he could use support with communication and sensory issues. In general, I direct parents to web sites and resources, and make it very clear that I think my son is perfect as he is.

.I agree it's sad. Parents like these really bother me. Even though I believe in treating known medical problems that occur in AS and NTs, I don't like intolerant parents trying to treat or cure their children simply because they act different.
