I have an autistic brother who lives in a group home. While he has made incredible progress, we doubt he will ever grow mentally beyond the age of ten. It annoys me that children with ADHD or social anxiety are being lumped with children like my brother, and it's only so they can be medicated. It's inflating the definition of Autism, and I fear people will treat autism less seriously as a condition as a result.

Aren't "normal" people the worst? They exist to do manual/office labor and other peon jobs, nothing more. That's their role in life. They aren't capable of doing anything that requires thought or intelligence. They are expendable. They exist solely to breed people who will grow up to be just like them.

I fear for them when automation obsoletes their existence.
I'm surprised you don't want the disabled to be euthanized, none the less that you hate "normal" people.
