Non-verbal, debilitating autism is extremely difficult. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. It's like asking what's wrong with schizophrenia and "why do they want to 'cure' it"?
Autism is a spectrum (for now; it's the best terminology we have at the moment), and at one end you have severe debility. I don't think a "cure" is possible in the way we think, but better treatment options would be life-saving
I'm some form of neurodivergent myself and have traits that overlap with autism. Someone I love is non-verbal and currently going through the straights with their disability. I see ways in which we share symptoms, but I also see a huge divide between us, in the severity of them
I would give anything to get the best help for my loved one, because they'll never be able to have any independence without 24hr care. And that's what we're working towards. But if there was some "cure" that would allow them to communicate more... I can't even describe what a miracle that would be for so many people. It's a hard thing to see someone go through sometimes, and it can actually be a very big deal
I wanna believe that to be true and can't be bothered to look it up. So, I now know why ferrets are illegal in California!
Did your girlfriend come to her senses, and realize how great those plates are?
And some of us weren't old enough to understand the history of what has already been sown. Ripping weeds by their root is tedious, sometimes tiresome, work
I appreciate the reminder, and understand it's not just a "U.S." problem. But thank you nonetheless. I can't truly apologize for something that I didn't understand I was already a part of... but I'm sorry
I'm trying more than just "angry comments", I promise. It's strange to me; writing a comment and thinking about how it may be used against me, because of things. But here we are, and I refuse to give up my love for people. Sue me. Shoot me. Piss in my cheerios. I'll remain as I can
I used to joke that my goal was to just make it to 65. Good enough for me... but I have new goals now. I'ma live till I'm 92, and godspeed. I hate living in interesting times, but I guess it's what we're doing right now, so fuck it. I'll keep myself and remain kind for others, because hopeless doesn't equal helpless
And Heyyy friends, if you're reading my shit... good
