Aspies For Freedom

  You know that you're a curebie parent when you pressure your child into activities with other kids that bore him silly, because it's more important that he appears "normal".You praise the child for faking enthusiasm about the boring activities.
You tell your NT kids to just be themselves, not to "follow the crowd" or conform just for the sake of conforming, but tell your Aspie kid to try to speak, dress, act, and think like everyone else as much as possible.
When relatives or family "friends" rudely criticize your child to you, (for crimes such as not
smiling like a fool every waking hour, or not falling all over them enough) you apologize profusely to them for having such an offensive child. Later, you tell your child, in an annoyed
manner, what those rude people have complained to you about him. You make it clear that your child deserves these crititisms, because his manners are so bad, but you never criticize
the manners of the rude people who presume to complain about him when he has never done
anything bad to these people in his life.

Ok, I've been told that I'm not really funny, but here goes:
  
     You know you're a curebie parent when your aspie kid knows to look you in the eye only while lying to you, because you refuse to believe the truth.

(The story of my life.)

you know you're a curebie parent if you think......

OH NOES!!!!!!1 TEH MERCURIES R POISONING TEH CHILDRENS!!!!!!!!111111

OK that's enough. Though you guys just gave me an idea.
You know you're a curebie parent if you don't make arrangements after you're dead for your adult children who still depend on you because you think your child is just playing Tripp (from Failure to Launch).

You know you're a curebie parent if, when your autistic child has made a suicide attempt (regardless of success), you start thinking that depression automatically accompanies autism instead of considering the fact that you drove him/her over the edge with the traumatizing therapies and saying in public that you wish that s/he didn't exist.

You know you're a curebie parent if you still believe in the vaccine theory, regardless of the fact that it has been constantly been proven to be a fraudulent myth.

You know your a cureable parent when you state that your child's intelligence and brilliant hearing are natural gifts and not in anyway associated with the noncommunative, spinning 'bad' autism.

Unfortunately from a real example of a family who 'cured' their child by minimising unwanted behaviours and then stated that he was cured, despite the less obvious neutral and positive aspects of autism still around. These were aparlently, just part of the brilliant tragically trapped child they managed to find.

You can't have it both ways

You know you're a curbie parent if your kid says something you don't understand and instead of asking for clarification you dismiss it as "autistic nonsense"
