My oldest is high functioning ASD, but I still won’t put Sesame Street on.

It’s liberal, pro-islam garbage straight from red diaper dopers. The USSR produced children’s propaganda that varies not one whit from Sesame Street. Abolish the FCC, CPB and PBS! Let freedom ring!

But I thought that, based on liberals’ treatment of Trig Palin, shouldn’t kids with autism should be put down before they’re born, and if not their parents mocked and ridiculed?

I’m not in favor of the ideology of “Sesame Street,” either. Hillary Clinton was on the board of Children’s Television Workshop at one point. (And Al Gore was on the board of Occidental Petroleum, but that’s something else again.)
Nonetheless, I think helping children to associate positively with those who are different is extremely important. One of the things we’ve found doing science competitions (Envirothon, Science Olympiad) is that students with autism spectrum symptoms or OCD can be extremely valuable teammates, once the group develops strategies to focus on their strengths.

I really don’t know enough about autism to have much of an opinion.
To: Telepathic Intruder
Only if they can’t be used to ‘feelgood’ people into advancing the liberal agenda.
Or if they are the child of an unperson.

I’m waiting for the ghost of the Gentle Giant, because #blacklivesmatter and little children need to know how cops execute black kids. </sarc>

Good for you. I hope you all are getting the help you need. I've been reading
Temple Grandin's book, "Thinking in Pictures." It's been a real eye-opener for me, concerning people with autism, and the different ranges they function in. The movie was really good too.
I highly recommend any of her books or just viewing the movie. She does not feel sorry for herself, she took care of her many challenges and grew up to design many of the humane cattle handling procedures used in slaughter houses and holding pens.

No that’s only Down Syndrome, which can be tested in utero. Children with autism are to be used by the left to bludgeon companies that produce vaccines.

Trust me, if they could test for autism in utero, you wouldn’t even be hearing about autism because none would be allowed to live.

Sesame Street Julia’s life will look nothing like the ‘Life of Julia’ in your chart.
If she’s like most autistics I know she’ll still be in diapers at 10yrs old.

And next up, meet Noxzema, the one-legged black albino lesbian midget!!!!!!!
