The issue is the spectrum, which I’d like to be split. Address the Aspy community and help lower-functioning community with what they need. My low-functioning, barely verbal son would like to be able to have the freedom you have to express himself, but can’t.

Are you fucking kidding me? We’ve wasted so much effort on this instead of not being ableist?

So much ableism.. I'm so angry at this article. We don't want to be cured!

Wow. Autism is not a disorder. It does not need to be cured. How incredibly offensive. Do better.

Treatments would be most welcome for low-functioning autistic individuals that would love to be able to express themselves as you. Give them the tools to have their voice.

A "missing gene" doesn't cause autism. Missing intelligence may cause journalism, though.
