I appreciate that Baron-Cohen, who's made a fine career off autistic people without doing a damn thing to help them (extreme male brain, lawl), has no intention of helping us now or in the future. But could we maybe lock him in a room with Jenny McCarthy?

Autism is a debilitating disorder that occasional produces useful traits as a side effect. And the gulag produced some inspiring books. And ebola inspired a bunch of cool zombie movies. My suffering doesn't exist to justify Baron-Cohen's preening moralizing. He's not helping.

My left frontal lobe is about 40% bigger than it should be, probably thanks to a mosaic mutation affecting fetal brain development, and the rest of my brain is kinda smooshed around because of it. I'm really, really, almost supernaturally good at pattern recognition.

Which would be a cool superpower if I were capable of holding a job or going out in public. I'd rather have a cure, honestly. If that's 'eugenics', then eugenics is a good thing. Don't fucking entrench my suffering and pretend you're looking out for me.

Replying to @St_Rev
To be fair, there's a lot of organizations (including "for the auties" groups!) that say "cure" in the sense that we "cured" cystic fibrosis, aka genetic testing, abortion, and then forgetting the condition existed til remaining people born with it were all subaltern groups.

Eh, fair. But there's clearly a process here of tailoring one's rhetoric to the most absurd excess of the other side, thus me wanting him locked up with Jenny McCarthy

And by 'locked up' I mean ignored
