I was born neurologically different

I agree with you, we do not need a cure, but many need to be cured of discrimination! I was born neurologically different and find it hard at times that many continue to question my existence, believe or allow!

First I would like to say those of us on the autism spectrum can speak for ourselves... and the reason many of us on the autism spectrum dislike the use of the word cured, recovered as to us it implies there is something wrong with us and we need to be fixed, we can not in my eyes anyway recover from self, yes everyone to a point gets to adapt, change, we all have to learn to get along and find a middle ground and as parents we all do whatever we can to help make our children 's lives easier if on the autism spectrum or not. We do all need to start to listen to each other and find a middle ground where every diversity and difference is ok.

I guess Autism has been in my family for generations and not all have had vaccines ... I truly do not feel this is the cause and the answer I feel is acceptance, understanding and allowing our differences... conformity is usually not for the person on the autism spectrum but to make the none autistic person’s life easier, all minorities are forced to conform to a point. What is really needed is understanding - and AWARENESS worldwide, this is a global issue and those of us differently able should be allowed to be who we were born to be....

Vaccines well my point of view: Being on the Autism Spectrum myself I do not and have never suffered, I am just differently minded myself, but from other peoples ignorance, including I guess my own until I found Aspergers and self. So personally I feel there is NO link to autism and vaccines I was born different... I am not a expert in the vaccine field, but feel we all have to make our own minds up and the best way to do that is listen to the real experts, top research centers and up to date infomation helps, but why on earth some people want to listen to none autistic celebrity individuals is beyond me!

My gut feeling even before reading all the best research information would still be NO. I do not take any think lightly, as very rarely even take any form of medication or drugs... but I do believe these vaccines save many lives.. scare mongering kills!

I truly feel time to embrace and give Autistic individuals a chance and stop wasting money and time on trying to change what is! Alyson Bradley - Aspergers Parallel Planet
