People wanting to have autism? Really? A specific age group or something? At least here if you admit of having it, your family might abandon you, you might be sabotaged at work, school... oh jeeze, yea tell the other kids if you want to be battered and bruised every day, tell just one person and everyone will talk about what either a retard you are or a mass murderer to be.

I'm not sure what super safe place they live in to even dare talking about it. Here you're happy if you can talk about it without things changing between you and those you tell. Usually everything changes, so you don't tell anyone.
