[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not vote for Trump, and I do not like him. I am also the parent of a child with relatively severe autism. To the modest extent that my experience as an autism parent bears on my political views, it is a push away from the Democrats and toward the Republicans. From my vantage point, the Democrats are (currently) the standard bearers for the legacy system which has made stunningly little progress in improving the lives of the severely autistic. I attribute this to a mix of regulatory/cultural capture and sentimentality that simply does not exist on the right. I am also painfully aware that the Democrats have challenged laws that would prohibit disability-motivated abortions, something that just really saddens me. The Dems seem to think it's self evident that they are the good guys vis-a-vis the disabled, but there are at least some of us out there who smile and nod along but silently scream in their heads. I believe that, if you teleported Democratic voters from 1995 to the present, many who take stock of the current landscape would agree with me. [/quote]

This is ridiculous.

And you are about to see things for your kid get a WHOLE LOT WORSE.

The Medicaid cuts will be devastating.

I am the person you are quoting. It is this kind of condescension and paternalism that is causing the Democratic party to lose elections to buffoons. [/quote]

No. Take some personal responsibility for your own ignorance, lack of education and critical thinking ability.

Two people have explained to you that you are comparing democrats “not doing enough” for people with autism to the republicans who, in Project 2025, said people with autism cannot think for themselves and can’t have free will. Anyone who has listened to what they’ve said about autism and disabled people in general and who read history, know you are a fool to compare the two parties as equally bad.

We are tired of coddling your type with gentle education because you DO NOT LISTEN to anything anyone says no matter the delivery.  If we’re nice, it’s “patronizing”. If we’re informative, we’re “lecturing”, if we’re firm, we’re “mean.”

No one who understands history and reads real news is confused when we use the word eugenics and tell you the GOP is a threat o your child.
