The ones who are judged as completely incapable of communicating (not the same thing as actually being unable to communicate, except for the part where people don't understand what's going on) are the ones who need the most protection, since, y'know, they can't complain in such a way that people will actually listen. I mean, I know your point, but.
I suspect they do not hold to this point though when actually proposing autistic treatments.
Last I heard from Weintraub (another person of this ilk), she was mad at her son for wanting to dress up as Mickey Mouse for Halloween, because, as she said, "It's no fun to be different". She fully supports the rights of parents to "cure" Asperger's...
