Refrigerator Mother mention is meant to be an example of a trauma at the start of life causing what he refers to as 'autism'.  He does not understand this.

Autism as psychosis.  Assuming all these immature and problematic children he's referring to are actually autistic people.  Sounds more like he deals with traumatised kiddies who qualify for autistic diagnosis rather than hereditary Aspies.

He says you can see a normal person in there.  Wow, so he can define one eh?  Please do.  I'm a perfectly normal autistic myself.  I find his neo facist assumptions of authority through his Neurotypical maturities merely a perspective.  But McClure seems to deal in absolutes.  He does not even say he's using metaphors and allegories.

Note the holding of formative experiences and certain 'adult maturities' as the source of his authority, let alone actual clinical work.  His frame of reference sounds eugenic and as if he's paving the way for vaccines causing autism.  Possible hidden agenda here?
