While we are far from achieving gender equality, and we still have a long ways to go with fighting for gay rights - there would be more of an outcry towards parents who murder their children for being female or gay (or even fat), than for being autistic.<br /><br />Neurotypicalism (a specific type of ableism) does not have the same mainstream recognition in progressive circles as sexism, racism, and homophobia do.
