He was an extraordinarily extreme example and one that might have been doing so on purpose. Some would say some people with autism are brainwashed. I think it is only emotions and people with similar emotions getting mutually upset. Brainwashing is a vague terminology meaning to be influenced in a slang meaning of the word. Someone has to be captured, deprived and or feared into believing things to be brainwashed. He is much like my conspiracy studies in which I functioned in groups of these people socially online and picked it apart. He likely believes in America or in other countries of democracy we really live in a prison society of some kind. More extreme then him would be the tin foil on the head protecting from the brain wave altering.

The best kind of school is one that does not get in the way of learning the alternative and sub-specialty studies that quickly advance faster then the books allow. Politically incorrect studies are as well a challenge to find somewhat formal study to. Even when found in book form the rationality might be off or ideologically biased. Rationism is not an opinion, not so much a certain fact but the pursuit for absolute truth that often leads to no absolute conclusion but the essential and fundamental frameworks manifest of it's structuralism and functionalism.

Autism Advocacy itself continues to be a pain. The majority of campaigns against autism are no different from Autism Speaks in that the groups consist of parents who are constantly victimizing themselves because their autistic children are sucking away at their social status or their normal daily routines. What a joke! I doubt you'll hear parents crying this much if they had a child with Down Syndrome or Cerebral Palsy because their disabilities dont have half the tantrum power that autism does.

How ironic is it that the parents of autistic children are victimizing themselves more than the children who have it? They think their life is miserable? How about thinking about what your kid is going through (like having to put up with your moaning about the situation) for one damn minute!


Conflict between parent and son is normal for NTs also, and you are not an exception, I notice. So, I speak as a parent. The problem is not "sucking away my social status" but "I hope I can afford it". I would do anything for my son and my social status is not so important for me (not even before diagnosis...).
When my son was diagnosed, the hospital's top clinician said " Nobody can say how this child will be in the future". If it was a Down Syndrome or a Celebral Palsy, everything would be more predictable. Somehow, I would accept that and go on with my life, because even if I died for him things wouldn't change. An autistic boy, like joining WP has taught me, can have a wide intelligence and be trapped in his own brain. It's scaring. He is aware of his condition and he suffers because he can't express himself, not in a way I can understand.
It was comforting to know that so many of you enjoy life.
I never say that I am a victim, neither I say that my son is.
I can't agree with you that therapies shouldn't be done. Why should you refuse a therapy that could help you to speak?
Therapies have to respect human rights, but the matter is human rights, not therapies...
I don't want to be rude, only to explain what I feel...
