Misunderstandings about me...

I think there's some misunderstandings about me among people. I'd like to clear them up, because it really sucks when people think you're something you're not.

*I do not hate parents of autistics. Never have, never will. I have a bit of a hard time understanding them at times, because I more often can see their child's side than theirs. I do know having a special needs child or adult is very stressful. I see this in my own stepmom and father all the time.

*I do not oppose treating autism. It's when people want to do something that is dangerous that bothers me. Or when a company is cheating people out of money by selling a treatment that doesn't work. A person is better off autistic than dead. And the more money wasted on miracle snake oil is less that can be used to actually help anybody.
