They want parents to get genetic screening for autism, so that they can abort their autistic children the way many children with Down’s Syndrome are aborted. This is essentially eugenics. They could be aborting the next Einstein or Bill Gates for fear of having a low functioning autistic child.

Like all with Asperger’s I started out significantly limited in everything from school through sports to social interactions. Using the dyslexic/Asperger’s out of the box approach to the problem along with a little obsession, I cured the most of my dyslexia and Asperger’s. I did it over a couple of decades of many holistic therapies. I am left with some quirks such as bad spelling and bad penmanship.

It pains me to hear about kids and adults on meds for either dyslexia or Asperger’s. With commitment both can be cured in significant ways. Today I am left with my major symptoms gone and the advantages more accessible.

Owen
