YES. I have autistic kids, and not the just quirky kind. The low-verbal and self-abusing kind who can’t master their own bodies. I refuse to medicate them, even though everyone says to. (I obediently did for a while, and it was terrible.) And now ridiculous humans are trying to erase real pathologies in the name of inclusion and people are rushing to diagnose themselves to belong. It’s ridiculous and dangerous and ignores the real problem that - as much as I love the Gato here, he doesn’t recognize, either.
But I will always support a rant against antidepressants. Medication is killing us.
