alt Hacker NewsThey won't get a cure, because autism is not a disease.
It reminds me of the idea that 'curing' people's homosexuality would make them happier. Turns out it is not possible, but in the civilised world we made things so much better for them by just not being shitty and oppressive.
Not this shit again. I don't care whether you call it a cure, a treatment leading to complete improvement of all symptoms, a therapy that rids them of their problems, or a magic happiness potion.
You can discuss the philosophy of these decisions all day long but at the end of the day, you don't get to tell other people what to do. You're no different from the "pro-life" crowd who want to ban abortion based on simplistic and idealistic view of the world.
When you berate people who are asking for more treatment options, you're not just expressing your preference, you're also trying to control theirs. My patience on this has truly run out.
