I was kind of with this until it said "stealing the personalities of children". I get the feeling that they're trying to be metaphorical, but it's the stupidest way to even present it or even sum it up. I wish these statements were never made because it just ends up in a ouroboros loop with "the horrors and difficulties of dealing with autism". Are people really this blatantly clumsy with disabilities that it becomes nothing more than a black/white situation?
It's almost as if they have autism, but they just slipped through the cracks.
Mostly it's parents who don't know how to deal with their Autistic kids, because they aren't "normal" and when they aren't "normal", that's "not good"!
If you want to see the masterwork of most of the actors here, someone has helpfully uploaded the 3 seasons of the 90s satire "Frontline" to youtube. This show eviscerated commercial current affairs shows of the era. It probably still does, I just haven't watched commercial TV for a loooong time.
