I know you’re probably joking but if these adults are high functioning and have jobs there is no way of stopping them accessing the internet. Unless they’re locked up in a mental hospital. Lots of crazy people online. In the old days all the crazy people had to shout in the town square or be quietly insane. Now they can post their deranged drivel for all to read. Just ignore it. Though obviously there are sections of the internet where people with mental illness encourage others to do immoral and dangerous things. But that’s not just autistic people.
I'm not joking, but thanks for actually seriously addressing these concerns, instead of making weird accusations against me like other people.
You're right. In the middle ages these people were tolerated. But so were whore houses. So that's not always a measure.
The issue is that people with certain conditions, objectively cause moral harm to others if they are allowed to do certain things. Those of us who have alcoholics in the family know this. We don't give them a drink when they are in our company. Because its for their own good. Because they have a problem that will cause them harm if they are allowed to do certain things.
I'm not talking about locking people up. I'm not even talking about government intervention. I'm talking about something in between. The kind of thing that is left up to families to make decisions about, people they love, and how they respond to their condition. That's it. I'm sorry that some other people seem to be taking this so personally. I wonder why that is.
