I think it’s important to keep in mind that one can be happy being single, whether or not one has any inclination to date, marry, etc. For instance, I made the decision a long time ago, for various reasons, not to have children. It’s ironic, but also fitting, for me to have become involved in autism advocacy.

The quote above cant be true. We all know that those with downs syndrome will never be able to function in this world. Where is the cure for downs movement today to protest? They had walks for a cure. Oh that is right they developed the prenatal test. the cure movement died. Who needs a cure when you can “nip the problem in the bud” so to speak.

>>>
drags a girl who has Down syndrome out the back for a snog and tries to get her to have sex with him. She declines, gives him a fake telephone number and at home later on explains that she was looking after herself because he didn’t have enough respect for her.

My boys have all the right instincts and check the marital status of all their therapists and teachers. London leads the world again!

I think Charlie will—-once upon a time there was a girl in his class when he was 5 and he had to hold her hand, gave her his lunch—-then she got put in another class. I guess, as for anyone, it’s maintaining a relationship that’s the harder part—
