Obama diversity nominee is autism nutter

Well, yes, Mr. Ne’eman, most everybody in our society can get better at "accepting" people with autism. But, to elevate this above looking for a cure?

Mr. Ne’eman is at the forefront of a growing movement that describes autism as a form of “neurodiversity” that should be embraced and accommodated, just as physical disabilities have led to the construction of ramps and stalls in public restrooms for people with disabilities. Autism, he and others say, is a part of their identity.

Uhh, so people with MS or ALS want to just be "accepted," then, too? Rather than have research continue on their syndromes? Or people with amputations for whatever reasons just want to be "accepted" rather than have work done on improving artificial legs?
