Children's Autism Hope Project?

"Curebie" is a disparaging term used by some HFA against people who are working for some kind of cure, instead of having society bend a little to be able to use the unique talents (e.g. those of Temple Grandin) that some, of course not all, HFA persons display. People with autism tend to be really damn good at certain kinds of jobs, including ones with repetitive tasks involved, and there are whole employment agencies in Europe (I want to say there's one in Sweden, but don't quote me) dedicated to matching autists who have a particular talent with jobs that can use that talent. But anti-"curebies" generally don't see themselves as problems and are fine with being different, and don't think they need "fixing."

On another note, it looks like this group is holding a silent auction, and they're soliciting donations. If Chris wanted to make an actual meaningful gesture, he could donate some of his 'classic' video games, toys, and movies. Of course, we all know the likelihood of that happening.

How about the famous plastic cup that he drank his Fanta 'n navy smoothie out of? That would be a real collector's item.

He'd have to fish it out from beneath four years of kitchen hoard and you know that's not gonna happen so long as Barb is alive.

Interesting, if bizarre. Some people with blindness have a heightened sense of hearing but I don't think there is an anti-"curebie" movement among them.

IIRC there was this deaf/blind British family that desperately wanted their child to be blind/deaf, calling it a lifestyle. Sounds familiar? Anyways the child was either made blind/deaf after birth or was genetically engineered to be. I'd call CPS on those parents...

Sorry but I'm skeptical about this...it sounds so horrific that I would think there would be a huge public outrage about it.
