Yes I think the video is a good inclusion video. However once pride extends itself to go up against any kind of treatment research I no longer morally support it. I believe also their should be less emphasis on a disorder label and being proud. Autism is a disorder label and not an entire person of course. My version of pride in my daily life is to not focus on negatives nor the label itself as the label was constructed to get help and is about the negatives. Therefore I am at conflict of personally celebrating a pride in a disorder label but am content and happy with myself on a daily basis.
