    Not even that, that idea is driven, deep down, by seeing autistic people as less than human, or at least a less “valuable” human. Don’t mistake it - Moms of Autism types absolutely, deep down, hate their children.

      I am well aware, first hand, of what mothers of autistic children think about their autistic children. Fucked me up for decades.
