#Autism "acceptance" can mean two things. Acceptance of people with #ASD, their rights, their best interests. Giving them appropriate support, helping them to achieve maximum quality of life. This is what should be expected in any civilised society. 1/4
But "acceptance" is also used to mean: acceptance that #ASD, and all the severe/devastating disabilities that sometimes go with it, cannot, even should not be treated. That there should be no research into treatments. That all that needs to change are attitudes to #autism. 2/4
