[|Blog Post]

I found myself being confronted with a challenge, and eagerly approached it. I was asked to look up some sort of treatment that proved controversial within the medical field. Some of the things I came across were truly horrifying, or simply shocking, but unfortunately these ones were taken. The one I finally chose made my stomach turn the most, however. I found myself looking at the possibility of parents virtually abusing their children through science in an attempt to change them. I was shown the horrid effects and the views of the people for and against it. I found myself disgusted with what people would put their children through.

I wrote my blog on certain treatments of autism. Attempted treatments, that is, as autism has no proven treatment. People are just always guessing at a way to make things better, and are often harming their child more in the long run. I learned much more about this than I may have liked, but I'm glad I learned it nonetheless. It taught me a good deal about a world I've had to deal with in my past. My sister is mentally challenged, and has often worked very closely with the autistic classes. Thus, I have had many experiences with them. The idea that anyone could do something like that to one of them just is painful to me.
