I also wish health gurus would stop treating autism as the end of the world for parents. That’s insulting for autistic people. And being autist myself, I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be be better to have autistic kids. Maybe we’d understand each other better you know.
Aren’t there many kinds of autism though? It doesn’t seem like it would necessarily increase the chances of compatibility.
Plus any parent should think at least as much about preparing their kid to succeed with the larger world as they think about enhancing their own relationship with the kid.
This is the mot and bailey that’s pulled. Catastrophize autism so people only think of the non-verbal/non-functioning types of autism but reference the statistics of the full autism spectrum to make it seem like the first cohort is growing.
