the reality and pain of a subset of parents of children with autism who feel left out of much of the conversation around the condition.
If anything they are always dominating the conversation despite being in the minority of autism cases. I understand it’s hard for them, but it’s not all about you and you’re talking over autistic adults who should be heard more.
They’re always talking over their children. Makes sense to ignore everyone who has lived experience with autism in favor of parents getting over the narcissistic wounding that came with having a kid that didn’t fit their fantasy.
Yeah I’d say it makes sense that people who are not narcissists would have less interest in creating genetic copies of themselves. I’d be willing to bet that if we had the option of cloning, it would be the more popular one.

we had a nonverbal kid on the school bus one year and it was really cool of his parents and the school system to abuse that kid and by extension everyone else on the bus route on top of school starting too damn early in the morning. I’m not even sure if low-support adults are able to be effective advocates for the kids who have it the worst.

Someone does need to advocate for them, I don’t think their parents are qualified either. “Autism parents” seem so arrogant and self-centered
for sure i’m just aware our needs are quite different and part of the problem is not being able to ask
