[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It could lead to forced sterilization as he has an agenda[/quote]

This is a possibility.  I have an autistic niece in her 20s.  Her parents died and she is living in a group home.   She’s like a small child.  She loves to color and do elementary school math books.   She works at a supervised job 9-3.   Our family takes her out on weekends and she can sleep over.

She will never have a baby unless she is sexually assaulted.   Fortunately she lives in a home with female workers only.  She would be a target if this creep got his way.

If my child was on the other end of the spectrum I would remove the diagnosis .  No label needed.  [/quote]

I'm glad she's in a safe place and has family who love her nearby. Some are not as fortunate with their living situation or they tend to wander, in which case I think a tubal ligation can be of benefit.[/quote]

Whether or not it’s a good idea for individual people with special needs would be better off if they can’t have children, and that decision being reached by their parents/guardians and doctors, is very different from the discussion at hand. The discussion at hand is that the government is considering creating a registry of people with autism, and history shows us where that can lead. One possible outcome is forced sterilization. The person promoting the idea doesn’t understand anything about autism, which makes it even scarier. Please don’t promote the benefits of sterilizing people with special needs on the thread talking about a possible autism registry. [/quote]

I don't think anyone is promoting forced sterilization on this thread. [/quote]
