AVeryLargeRadish posted:How so? My personal view is that a woman should be able to abort for any reason at all. But I still think exploring the possible social and ethical issues of enabling people to choose what their child will be like ahead of time is a pretty interesting line of discussion. Additionally if someone wants to get an abortion over it, they're not likely to be the kind of person who'd be good to raise the child. Ytlaya posted:This discussion is pretty interesting. I think the issue is difficult because both aggressively seeking a cure for autism (if such a thing is even possible) and not doing so are both problematic. I don't see what's problematic about aggressively seeking a cure. Small Frozen Thing posted:All this incredibly stupid bullshit aside, it's kinda hosed up that an autism advocacy group doesn't have any autistic people on its board. They should call themselves an Autistic Parents or Autistic Caretakers advocacy group if they're going to be like that. It's an advocacy group for severe autism, and people with that are generally incapable of meaningful function on a governing board.

It's extremely hard to teach thoroughly non-verbal sufferers how to manage panic attacks - and those are the people you actually do hold down (or hug tightly etc, the point is that a firm grasp helps them feel safer).

But what about helping to teach kids and adults to manage those panic attacks in the first place?

I see fungified milk is all the rage with the kids these days.
