Loving Lamp Post Movie

This is a documentary of both sides of Autism. The "recovery" side & the "neurodiversity" side. I am so glad they are making films such as this. It's a discussion that is long overdue. As I've always said, there are lower functioning individuals that benefit from certain "therapies" or technology to help them function in the world,& they should seek that help but we also need to STOP talking about a "cure" and start advocating ACCEPTANCE.
