The Autistic mind is not the problem, please open your eyes to see the true potential and facts about Neurodivergence.
The idea that it is something harmful, that only serves to disable and negativily impact people is just a lie perpetuated by medical professionals suffering from cognitive dissonance and Charity organisations trying to make money by guilting people into donating funds that fatten the wallets of their CEOs (The CEO of Autism $Peak$ earnt over $600,000 last year 🤬) They depend on you believing that Autism is a bad "thing", but it is only bad if misunderstood.
We have come on so far from the idea that Autism is a thing people "have" that harms them and their families. We now know that it is not the Autistic brain that is harmful, but the environment, the treatment, and actual indavidual disabilities that often accompany Neurodivergence. We also know most anger issues and self harm stems from anxiety and trauma, not Neurodivergence. We are just more vulnerable and sensitive to this world, but that doesn't mean we should be treated with less respect.
As far as severely disabled Autistic people are concerned, that is mostly due to a lack of synaptic building in the brain, which means they get stuck at a certain age and can only develop by mimicking those around them. So most growing is copied, rather than happening naturally within the brain. This will result in developmental delays, but sometimes those synaptic pathways can build in the teenage years as the brain goes through a second round of pruning, making way for new pathways to be made.
As far as support goes, this harmful language doesn't need to be used, there are far more accurate ways of indavidualising someone's disabilities without negativily impacting and stereotyping an entire group of people. In fact it is far better for a child with additional needs to be assessed on those needs individually, rather than treating Autism as the problem, which doesn't help at all, because no Autistic person is the same as the next. All it does is make kids and adults feel like their is something wrong with them, and limits the potential of every Autistic person.
So I'm asking you to do one thing, just one, before you comment. If you disagree, just wait a while before you react, do some research, look into what I've said, and perhaps you will see what a better world we would have for our people, if we all worked together to improve things, cos at the moment, the system is broken, and we are suffering because of it.
