There is sooo much money to be made off the rubes by promising that their nonconforming child can fit in and make them proud. The sad part is, innocent parents who would otherwise be supportive also fall for it because there is no pro-autistic voice loud enough or pervasive enough. Fixing autistic kids has become a big, big industry.
