I'm sorry I missled. . . I did not write this

I posted this from another place. I thought the link at the bottom would make that clear, but re-reading it, I can see that it is not clear.

I do not have an autistic child, though like most of you, I've known my fair share.

I am just concerned that, #1 - generally non-violent people who are just a bit different are going to be suspect (I have seen this happen) especially if they have ever had any kind of mental or emotional struggle, #2 - mental health professionals are going to be given too much power to determine people's rights, and #3 - parents of challenged children are going to be held responsible for that child's behavior, regardless of age . . . until one of them dies.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C. S. Lewis
