Apparently a lot as this is not just happening in the US but in many other parts of the world like Canada.
Until now I still thought that it's a good idea to use some of these interventions. But following the links cured me of that, and gave me some good insights on what they do to somebody autistic. If they would only listen to autistic people, and believe they know what they are thinking and feeling, they might really be able to help in some way. But it appears that these 'doctors' are so arrogant (and ignorant), that they do only harm and no good.
And too many parents really reject their autistic kids, and they want them 'cured' at all cost. They fail to see that these kids that learned to appear normal are still autistic! I suspect that most of us here on this site aren't obvious at first glance, and can pass for 'normal' for at least a while (until overload sets in, or we say something totally inappropriate, I am good at that). That doesn't mean we are 'cured', but just that we look normal to others.
Anyway, here is a link I found by following all the many links, which I find very interesting. It's a whole book on the Internet, written by an Aspie (who died in an accident) on how to get by in society, explaining some of the unwritten rules.

Mich where did u get that quote from????
Gwynfryn, I am not sure I understand what you mean with typewidth! I just went back and read the original you copied, and it looks normal. Plus, of course, I wrote it in the reply box!
Well, the young man died before he could perfect what he had written. I still haven't read the whole thing, but he had some good insights.

That's funny Gwynfryn! I knew it couldn't be my problem, so I didn't worry about it. I'm glad it's fixed.

However cute the NT cost clock is, the numbers are off. The USA population is 300 million at the most. But the births are more like about eight per minute. That is where the new diagnoses would come from.

Oh, I'm sorry, is compassion for your own children too expensive? Why don't you return him to the kiddy pound and get yourself a nicer kid...
I wonder how much ignorance is costing America on a daily basis?

They shall be in hell for these organizations of prejudice! We will fight back, and triumph over those spawn of the deep bowels of hell!
