I concur. But they are making progress. It all depends on the state you live in. In Wisconsin we have made some progress, but have a way to go yet. Gov. Walker has signed some legislation allowing more voacational rehab opportunities for spectrum people. Like anything else, the wheels of government turn slowly.

Blame your fellow autists for campaigning against the idea that autism is a problem.

now where is that ?

most people i see campaign not be treated like inherently less worthy despite their difficulties, not because they dont have them.

Try every thread that complains about the idea that autism or aspergers is a disorder.

Pfffft, have you actually read any of those threads? They're filled with people correcting the poster and it's pretty obvious that the people who post those threads aren't really involved in any sort of campaigning. It's the internet. Anything anyone ever thought is here. Some people can't deal with the fact they have a disorder and say so. Means very, very little in the grand scheme of things and certainly has absolutely nothing to do with government supports or lack thereof.
