That must've taken guts :) Let's hope there were people who listened, rather than just those who got angry.<BR/><BR/>But I think you should do a bit more research on the more disabled people on the Spectrum--those labeled low-functioning, generally the nonverbal or non-language-using who need full-time aides. (LFA is a pretty nebulous category that means different things to different people; so you have to define it when you say it. And remember that the same person can be in or out of that category depending on life stress, regression, or situation...)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, these people often have the exact same opinions that we do; the degree of disability doesn't have much to say about whether or not they want their minds tampered with. And remember that if you exclude low-functioning individuals (I don't think you are; I just figure you haven't thought about it much), then you also exclude them from any rights we might gain through protest. Their parents are already scared, "who's going to advocate for them when I'm gone?", and I think we could really help there. They can't ignore us nearly as easily if they can't take away communication devices or say we're trained monkeys; and if we yell loud enough, I have a feeling they'll have trouble ignoring the rest of the spectrum too.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought. But you're seriously going in the right direction.Chaoticidealismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04403876314649447342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952891.post-24189630160327208802007-12-22T18:52:00.000+05:002007-12-22T18:52:00.000+05:00Good for you for having the guts!The people you ch...Good for you for having the guts!<BR/><BR/>The people you changed were not the ones cussing and flipping you off.

Totally off the wall.</I><BR/><BR/>Great, then the rest of us will have to clean up after the mess some people have made by separating "HFA/AS" out from "LFA" to begin with and declaring "LFA" as in need of a cure. :-/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
