Comment for Hating Autism

Just in case Mr Best decides not to put my comment up for his blog "Neurodiversity; A straight shooting opinion"

"Die neurodiversity die die die"

And people trust you, MR Best? I find it very difficult to understand why people like you at all if this childish temper tantrum is what you call a valid argument.
Knowing you'll probably not put my comment up, possibly because you're scared someone might agree with me and we just might have somewhat of a mature debate on our hands, I can safely suggest that just maybe you act so childishly because you're scared about your son and his autism, but unable to put this into words, you lash out at the rest of the autistic community. I hope you realise you don't need to hide behind this pseudo-masculine veil of harsh words and threats. It's just ridiculous that a grown man would behave the way you do, and it just baffles me that other scared parents would side with you and join in your horrifying tirade.
Of course I'm not saying you must agree with everything I say. Personally I don't believe in a cure, at least not a mandatory one. There are those who don't want a cure, and I doubt they would be who they were if given one. However you seem to believe in a mandatory cure, but pull out the whole "no-one said you had to have one" when you have no arguments left, usually accompanied by profanities a little below your years.
What I do want you to do is just try to understand where the neurodiverse group are coming from. Something I doubt you've ever tried to comprehend. Perhaps because you spend too much time hiding from your fears, unable to communicate them.

I hope he tries to listen. Although it might be nice to see him prove me right by throwing a tantrum at me. We'll wait and see...
