Us autistics and gays have a lot in common when it comes to how society treats us. Like autistics, homosexuality was also considered an illness and people tried to cure them too. The only difference is that the homosexuals were successful in stopping their disease label and no longer is there legitimate research in homosexuality cures. I suggest that  Autistic rights groups should try meeting with gay rights groups and try learning from their success. Not only can we learn a lot from them but we could also form a strong alliance due to their similar plight. If you happen to have an prejudices against gays its time to let them go. A rights movement can only be successful if there is unity between all oppressed people not division. Feel free to share your opinions.
