These effin' ghouls are going to try and institutionalize autistic people.
We need to stop them.

There's nothing "artificially" causing this. The "different" among us were shut away.
"We" used to put neurodivergent people in ASYLUMS. I remember the Ridge Home in Denver. I never saw an autistic person in public until I was a WAY OLD adult, because "we" hid the problem instead of facing it.
It used to be so damn easy to put away anybody who was socially awkward or odd. Go to the probate judge, make a complaint and, hey presto, theyโre in an institution. I thought we ended this with the Wyatt v Stickney decision.
