    Sorry for the late reply, have been away this past week. They never got back to me.

    How I Was Treated Like Absolute Trash for Being an Autistic Person

    Either way the damage is done and their overreliance on what the so-called professionals recommended them without practicing a modicum of critical thinking or cross checking makes me feel like they were too stupid to be parents. Not if it's a safe space that helps your autistic kid ground...

    How I Was Treated Like Absolute Trash for Being an Autistic Person

    Hello.

    The name's rupert. Am a 24 year old computer engineer that is just trying to keep busy the best he can whilst the job market and economy go thru their woes. Was diagnosed autistic at the age of 2 and from there a lot of extreme ableism and abuse was suffered at the hands of my folks. Despite...
