Autism and the FCSN

Oakey doakey then... haha, yes, I butcher things rather well...

Okay, lets think... Last Saturday night I went to this Gala. Like a gathering.
It was hosted by the FCSN (go check Google if you have no idea what that is) and was about kids with Autism.
Autism is a "disease" in the brain where the sufferer has bad social skills, tends to put things in lines or piles or does repetitive action. This is all due to something going wrong in the dude's chromosomes.

Basically, it's a disease that never should have been found because these kids are otherwise perfectly fine.

Look, think about it. Just because they line things up constantly, just because they can't speak very well, just because something went wrong in a chromosome automatically means that we have to classify them as "children with special needs."
No, I DON'T know how "serious Autism is" so why don't you tell me, and maybe I'll change my drift.
But for now, it's completely stupid. A child who has MINIMAL changes DOESN'T mean he's "different" or "special" He or she is PERFECTLY FINE, but just because the way people think that ONE LITTLE THING that a child does different means that he/she is "disabled", "different", or "special".

That, my friends, is total bullshit.

Just because we have, in our little minds, a seed that means that if you're just SOMEWHAT different, you should be sent to a lab, classified, and EVERYTHING wrong must be found out so we can "prevent it later on".
Bullshit.
Just because kids are a little different doesn't mean that their weird, or special. It means they're different. And guess what? EVERYBODY'S DIFFERENT!!!!!!! If we didn't have a little difference in the world, the whole f**king world would be so f**king boring!

Sure, I'll grant that if you have cerebal palsy, then you need to be treated. If you have no gag reflex, then you need to be treated. If you were born with an extra eye (cool!) then, you might want to be treated. But just because your child has bad social skills, bad responsiveness, and tends to line things up in little organized lines, THEN YOUR CHILD IS FINE!!!

On Answerbag (www.answerbag.com), I've read and answered millions of questions regarding "My child putting his stuffed toy bear in time out. Is this normal?"

Wow.. a bear is in time out. THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING!!!!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!! OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD!!!!!

Calm the f**k down. Your child is fine. Wait till he becomes a teenager, then he's screwed.

Jesus. And the FCSN. That's total bullshit. It's like, "Hey, you have a disorder. You're "special". You need help. You can't help yourself. It's impossible. Let's just make you look like a fish out of water that needs to be helped by everyone else your whole entire life!"

WHAT THE F**K? Even IF this disorder was important, that's like a bullet to the heart of the dude's self esteem! Kid's aren't stupid (well... MOST aren't) and we know when we're unwanted, or when others are tells us bad BS. Adults these days give us too little credit. We deserve a choice, even those of us that have "difficulty developing social skills".

These kids are still coherent children. These kids are still kids. These kids still need a right way to live. They need to become independent, not rely on others their entire lives.

All these "major diseases" that really are minor need to be chilled down in the status quo. Everyone's all like, "Oh Emm Gee... We need to help these kids with disabilities that aren't really major or life threatening."

It's a waste of money to help a perfectly fine kid.

Don't be stupid. Don't waste time.
