I have recently been told that I'm going to be a Nana by my Autistic 22yr old who is also out of work. I am absolutely over the moon but I am also worried about how I best advise her 🥺

Totally agree. The whole situation is so very depressing as is so much of modern life.

So, at what imaginary period in history do you imagine this would have been handled better? In the fairly recent periods where an autistic woman would have been incarcerated in an institution?

@cookbookjunkie you’re advocating for the genetic manipulation of society to reduce undesirable traits, which you consider are mental illness and learning disabilities. That is very much eugenics.

Those with severe autism do have learning disabilities.
