Around 1 in 30 kids will have a little more difficulty adapting to society… It’s good to recognize their needs and support their growth.
No, wanting to prevent/treat/manage a profound and debilitating disease isn’t genocide.

Can you just be happy with who they are?
“You know, darling, it’s so much more important to look good than to be weird.”
Always conform, self must be denied in favor of the manufactured self
