Do any other parents of children with autism here relate to this analogy? I've never thought about it this way before.

An interesting way to think about it, to say the least.
I would say that my mum was definitely a mother who took a red pill in regards to me, and bless her for that.

It's an interesting way to put it. Might be useful for talking with "Autism parents," who are the typical "Blue Pill" people.

I never can keep the Matrix reference straight. My family's philosophy was always to try to work with people that were clearly trying their best, whether it was obvious like cerebral palsy or not obvious like a learning problem. Although no mercy for others that don't bother trying.

Problem solved. You now have a singleton (only one solution).
