Re: Discrimination?
Those of you who are not autistic need to stop making generalisations about those of us who are. We are a diverse lot and many of us have no interest in technology, coding and so on (although this one does)
Also, ignore every depiction of autism you've seen on TV, they're all either total bollocks or take one extreme example and use that to represent the whole. We are not all non-verbal or rain man, most of us are somewhere in between with challenges on the social side of things and strengths in other areas.
I'll also mention one thing we virtually all agree on is that we don't want any damn cure or therapy to make us act more like you, we're in the main perfectly happy as we are... the therapies on offer (ABA and the like) are more about making you NTs more comfortable around us than anything intended to benefit us and acting NT (or passing as it's called) is extremely draining and can lead to depression or worse.Where this idea that we'd all be happier if we were just like you comes from I do not know but it's certainly not true.
