Therapy is cutting out bad habits. The end result is the same.

One is a learned response, helping the individual learn and grow.

the other is cutting out chunks of their brain.

If you cant see the difference, thats on you.

I'm convinced you are just trolling and regret actually posting srs stuff in this topic.

Sorry then, just ignore my post.

the point acemos is trying to make (honestly, I never thought that Id be backing up acemos) is that ultimately the decision needs to be your nephews.

while Im sure that in this situation you want the very best for your nephew, this is a decision that will fundamentally alter their life. Every aspect of their life will be altered.

At the very least, this needs to be brought before your nephew, even as a courtesy.

one of the problems the autistic community faces is that we have advocates who claim to speak for us (looking at you, autism speaks) without actually letting us represent ourselves in any meaningful way.

You know how autism sometimes brings out negative social actions that are harder for someone to control? And you know how regular therapy tries to make it easier and to help limit these problems?

Is therapy eugenics?
Ultimately therapy is a coping mechanism designed to foster growth.

Comparing autism to a tumour is tantamount to saying that that the part of the brain responsible for autism should be cut out and removed.

Surely, calling for the lobotomy of anyone with autism is objectively not a good stance to take.

We shouldn't treat brain tumors because the tumor created a new personality and curing it would be eugenics.

We shouldn't treat schizophrenia because the illness killed the past self and we shouldn't bring that person back

comparing my autism to a tumor is by far one of the most offensive things Ive ever read on this site.

Does Frank want to flap his hands around, or is it caused by a neurodivergent developmental disorder he has no control over? Does he like being blunt, or would he prefer to be able to interact more personably?

Frank has the choice, and if it's a chip (a magical cure-all chip, from the sounds of the interview) - he can flip it back off, if he prefers what it was like before. What's wrong with that?


Franks flapping (a stim) helps him emotionally regulate, it helps him ground his feelings. His bluntness is a byproduct of him just being direct about his needs and wants from the people and world around him. Hes personable enough, hes just a little awkward.

now the second issue is this chip isnt going to magically teach someone how to fit in with society.

how do you propose to teach someone the social skills they need to thrive when youve got a blank slate?

Ok even I agree you're being a little much here, TC. Come on now.

not at all, op is justified here.

how would you like it if someone came along and said that they are going to change how your brain functions and you dont have the right to consent to that. In my eyes thats utterly horrific.

Ultimately the issue that everyone in this topic is dancing around is eugenics.

Assuming that this chip is created and works, who decides how autistic is too autistic?

Of course non-verbal Timmy gets the treatment, he can take care of himself and stop being a burden on society, hurray for Timmy.

but what about Frank? Bit of an oddball, loves his subway systems, pretty blunt and been known to flap his hands around. Do you force him to fit in societys box of acceptable personality traits?

where does the line get drawn?
