Diagnosis of Wandering

This morning, I read a horrific story in the LA Times about an 8-year-old autistic boy who went missing in the Angeles National Forest. He was thankfully found safe, but it was obviously very scary nonetheless. It is people like these who may require a label or diagnosis of "wandering" so that people will know to take extra precaution to keep them safe. Of course, Ari Ne'eman and his ASAN are against this label, for fear that it would be "stigmatizing." Neurodiversity claims to prevent stigma, but they actually do a pretty good job of creating it. My belief as to why Ari Ne'eman opposes this diagnosis is that he is so self-righteous that he cannot possibly see himself necessitating a "wandering" label. That statement alone may be true in of itself, but one must also keep in mind that Ari Ne'eman is not autism. Despite the fact that he himself may not need a "wandering" label, he as absolutely no right at all to say that, on behalf of all autistic people, that he opposes a "wandering" label. It may be needed in several cases, and it can save lives. I myself would never need a "wandering" label, but I do not go around saying that if I don't need it then nobody does, because that is simply not true. Many people do need it, and I am not in the least afraid to admit to that. Another bogus line of Ari Ne'eman's is that non-verbal autistic children who wander must be allowed to do so because that is supposedly their only way of communicating. First of all, Ari Ne'eman has no psychology degree whatsoever, so I have absolutely no idea why he thinks he knows this. Also, if that is indeed the case, it would be even more of a reason to necessitate the label, not less. A child who only communicates by wandering or attempting to wander (assuming that is indeed true) does not justify having his life endangered by the lack of a label simply due to fear of stigmatization. Of course, Ari Ne'eman also opposes teaching non-verbal autistic children to talk, which could also help greatly with the wandering issue. The stories like today's and countless others just only go to show how badly this label is necessitated. Anyone who simply fears being stigmatized is ignorant to the fact that these autistic people are putting their own lives at risk. We need to stop the ASAN now for the betterment of society, and we need to realize that they do not really care about autistic people in the least.
