GED: torture, not treatment

This is the comment I left on Barry’s site.  You have no idea how much this upset me.   We must stop this.   Hugs

Hello Barry. I like this only because you are sharing it, not because I like what these bastards did to these children. This is abuse, child abuse, and detestable in every way imaginable. I am trying to write this through the tears running down my face. Barry what are the next steps, what about the appeals? This must be taken to the highest levels of the US government and to the US congress. Are any organizations raising money and fighting to get this changed? When you first mentioned this to me, I had no understanding how bad it was! I doubt many in our community of blog readers do. I am going to reblog this to my Playtime.  I know you left the link, that is how I got here, but by my dogs that love gravy this must be fought and stopped. As a person who suffered child abuse, I hate this with every fiber of my being. There has to be better, more humane, more educated ways to care for these children. Shocked for wetting the bed, WTF, there are many reasons people wet the bed even as adults! To be punished for doing it as you’re being punished is sadistic! I belong to a survivors forum and read of sadistic bastards like my childhood was filled with who would get off on doing this to a kid, to me! Sorry Barry, did not mean to get so upset or so … in your comment section. But to do this to children that can not help how they are born … Sorry I have to go, or I will say things you will have to censor. Best wishes, Scottie

    1. Hello Barry. I just wish I could do more. As you say listening to autistic people is the best, and then to follow through with the information they give us. For me the first thing is totally changing how I write about autistic people. When you wrote how we don’t refer to being gay as people with gayness, it really made it clear to me how the words are being weaponized against autistic people. The framing sets them up to lose agency, to then be something needing to be removed rather than worked with. It removes control over themselves or their environment from them, as the “establishment” knows better for them. I am sure there are some autistic people that need assistance or special accommodations, but so do a lot of people. I need special accommodations when voting for an example as I can’t stand to mark my ballot so need a place to sit. That doesn’t mean others get to take my right to vote away. Anyway I wish you the best, and as always I will do my best to help where I can with spreading the good word or to fight back against the abuse of autistic people. Scottie

    1. Hello Ten Bears. Yes very true. It is as much torture as any shock therapy ever is. I struggle to understand how in 2023 this is allowed in any way. But then I think of the exceptions to laws give to religions in any of the conversion therapy attempts. It is well known to be abuse, it is a medical-proven fact it doesn’t work, yet people can get away with doing it if they claim to believed in an invisible friend that tells them stuff no one else can hear.
