The healthier ground is that profoundly autistic people deserve dignity, autonomy, and care as they are." jkancir.substack.com/p/the-plastic-…

@NCSAutismOrg Umm this is a very very bizarre take. So this means that if a person who was wheelchair bound suddenly found a way to walk that encouraging and helping others to walk and celebrating they can walk is harmful to those who might never escape a wheelchair? REALLY please think!
