Just do away with the idea of “high functioning” vs. “low functioning” autism?

I mean, really, what good does it do us to separate between the two and then have allistic parents say we couldn’t …

Yes there are people online posting from institutions. Not all institutions are without internet access.

But what I hate about making the dividing line institutions, is that it contributes to a myth about who does and doesn’t end up in institutions.

Basically within institutions, are the same sorts of people who are outside institutions. As in. Every sort of person who is living in an institution. Is also living outside of institutions.

Because institutions aren’t necessary to providing any level of care. Any at all.

And the idea that they are. That’s what’s behind that kind of BS.
