3. OK, I almost did stop in the middle!
That is one sweet-ass site. I loved the line about wishing you only had to do one thing, like work or pay bills or eat or whatever--I feel like that all the time, there are just way too many things to keep track of...

4. Want to know how autistics really feel?
This poor women was probably happy until all this cruel and unusual treatments were forced upon her. ABA includes aversives, which means having caustic substances rubbed on the skin, pinching, slapping, etc. Check out www.aspiesforfreedom.com to see how autistics *really* feel! Oh and by the way, I used to rock, flap, and occassionally still do! Autistic and darn proud of it!

5. She was too...
Of course, she was autistic and proud of it too. As long as you get to the end of it and don't stop in the middle assuming she is unhappy with herself.
