    This post makes me so mad. Holy shit. It’s Autism, they’re lives aren’t ruined. I have autism and I’m very glad to be alive. The person that has made this comment spends way too much time on the internet and not enough interacting with people offline.

    Antinatalism is a thing that could only thrive on the internet in a community full of people that get fed nothing but bad news all day. Go outside. The world isn’t as bad as you think

      It definitely has shades of the anti-vax idiots that said they’d rather have their child dead of a preventable disease than to have autism. As a parent of a child who has autism, the parent of a neurotypical child, and a person who is autistic, I’m happy that all three of us are alive and well and disease free thanks to vaccines. Even if vaccines caused autism (which they absolutely don’t), I’d rather my child be autistic and alive than not autistic and dead.
