Autism is the next civil rights issue?

You know this is pretty obvious, but it never occurred to me I guess. People fight over some pretty stupid fucking stuff don't they?

They fight over pretty much everything.

It s conservatism. Protection of the stays quo.  Autism rights are not fully recognized.  That will change.  Let the quirky have their quirks and stop the bullying NOW!

We are like any other minority. There's just not enough of us. It's the same problem every other minority group faces. Not enough of us to, erm, fight back.

And "fight back" is the wrong way to put it. How do you fight indifference?

I've researched homosexuality and it seems that the number is 1-40 are gay.  That's just 2 1/2% yet their rights are quickly becoming a reality all over the world.
What is autism number?

Coming out and organization have been a huge factor fir gay people's civil rights.  The more people who came out the more people began to realize that they not only know one they also live a gay. 
The indifference begins to change once a majority of people begin to. Realize that they love a person who struggles in the minority.

Gay rights weren't a quick reality, and still not a full reality. Autism has only been hot in the public eye for 15 years tops.

imho, gay rights have taken far too long and still have a long ways to go.  But, if you were to check public opinion polls over the last decade then you would conclude that they have moved fast of late.

That's true, of recent. It's hard to compare the two. Autism awareness has been, and will be, a quicker process because people can't make it moral/religious. Disability rights are different.

Civil rights. I just can't seem to understand why this term even has to exist, no matter how much research I do. No matter how much I try to understand the motive for trying to instill one's own code upon the entire world, even their "image" on the entire world, I can't seem to get it.

How can it be this way? What do people really want when they act like that? Is it really just as simple as their desire to create a planet filled with their own clones, or what? WTF IS THIS SHIT?

Might be, but one big problem is that your average autistic person is probably less verbal than your average gay.

It's more about political voice. Autism is fortunate to have someone like Ne'eman to serve on the national council of disability. He's done some really important things. There's going to be more like him because aspies fight for autistics as a whole; it's a young disorder with many exceptional young minds. Of course only looking at this from a US perspective.

He's the guy who sees autism as a neurological difference, right?
