I'm Switching Sides
Well, I'm bored with being pro-cure, so I'm switching to neurodiversity. I'm gonna lobby against a cure and prevent autistic children from living better lives. I'm also gonna join Ari Ne'eman's ASAN and lobby against Autism Speaks and other cure-seeking organizations. That's not all. Earlier today, Google changed its name to Topeka. And it's been a quarter-century since the legendary Sidd Finch joined the New York Mets. However, before you comment on this issue, just take into account what day it is and what people typically do on this day. Happy April 1!

Oliver,
I believe we should stop the research funding into prospective treatments for autistic disability like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). After all, autistic people make progress WITHOUT assistance. They don't need speech, occupational, or physical therapy. We should listen to Estee Klar, and we should believe that autistic people get better without treatment, supports, services, and accommodations. Since autism is a gift, we should not be lobbying the government for early intervention. Autistic people love being autistic. Autism is beautiful, so we should celebrate it. Amanda Baggs is a "low-functioning" autistic, and she CAN'T speak.
April Fools!
Regards,
Katie K.
