That was quite insulting. Ever thought that autism doesn't need to be "fixed"? It isn't like cancer or AIDS. Yes, parents have to adjust - as does the child. But that doesn't mean anyone needs to be "fixed". There's nothing wrong with being autistic and the sooner people realise that the better.
I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that would like a cure for autism and I'm sure there wouldn't be many people out there who would turn down a cure, especially when people are watching their child hurt themselves, like Meow. People can accept a situation and still look for a way to fix it. There's nothing wrong with that. I understand your point about acceptance, but something does need to be fixed - whether it be a cure or support networks or changing the world. I, for one, hope that people never stop looking for ways to 'fix' in these type of circumstances. There is definitely room for improvement.
