Great to see an adult say you don't want a cure. I was heartbroken at first, but seriously, my son is fine the way he is and he isn't broken and I am not going to be one of those moms out there looking for a "cure." People are differet! Really annoying about your issues with getting help medically.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816113411564653033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147438406266555027.post-88384683755676800972012-06-15T22:28:49.351-07:002012-06-15T22:28:49.351-07:00@biolartist, others regarding my flowchart:

Society has such a hard time wrapping it's mind around the idea that a person could live with something like autism and still be okay with who they are...but until people can really accept that people have the right not to choose a "cure", I'm scared that we won't truly break down some of the scariest and most institutionalized barriers to looking at people with disabilities as truly being *people*, particularly in the medical field.
