Autism still isn’t a disease though, you can’t “cure” it, it’s something we are. Even with the most disabled we should start with accepting them and offering the help they need, not just immediately label them as defected and try to erase who they are. Sure, let’s figure out ways to lessen the worst symptoms, but how about if we’d just stop discriminating first and see where that leads
Sorry if I sounded like blaming you of something! The point I was trying to make was more about how many autists are ashamed of themselves because of discrimination; that maybe those with a more difficult type could be more proud if they were* treated better
I dislike pride in general. Nobody should take pride in anything literally inaliable, just like nobody should be shamed for it. They should be comfortable in their own skin and not made to feel lesser for sure, though pride? Ehh… It’s a dangerous, blinding emotion.

Nowhere did I ever defend discrimination. I merely said some people do not have a form they’d likely be proud of.
