Ignore Frodo! He never finished primary school. Nor has he held a proper job in his entire life!
A child who has autism OR ANY medical diagnosis for that matter needs to be treated appropriately so as to ensure they are not taken advantage of. Only a cold callous human being would pretend or carry on as though that diagnosis doesn't exist or is irrelevant.
Exhibit 1 - Frodo Quote:it's your mob that keeps raising her autism as if it's relevant
Note : We will all have to excuse Frodo who loves using Aboriginal terms like YOUR MOB to describe groupings within OzPol.
Exhibit 2 - Methra <--- In her case please refer back to pages and pages of utter gastric BS most of which the moron operating the Methra ID has once again googled out of context.
Note : Groggy would have been Exhibit 3 but he's STILL waiting for permission by Methra to enter this topic. And he's not yet been told what he's allowed to post by Methra. So just to be sure let's pencil him in as Exhibit 3. For now.
Back to the topic ... it's extremely relevant and important that a person's capacity is noted. Even at law people with autism OR any brain or mind linked disability are protected/treated differently in order to ensure they stay SAFE! Note : congenital or acquired neurological issues accompany mental health issues. It's not a case of either/or. These interact and mutually affect behaviour patterns and how to process information etc.
Bottom line? The REAL hateful and toxic individuals in this topic are those who have demonstrated a total disregard and disrespect for children. Children are a well recognised vulnerable group within our society. For this reason our governments have Child Protection mechanisms and safety nets in place covering all 3 levels of govt.
Children WITH disabilities/diagnoses etc .... even more so. In fact, particular legislations exist in addition to case law precedents which serve to ensure that all children remain protected irrespective of who they are and irrespective of what particular disabilities they may have. In short...systemic protections exist in order to promote equity.
