That's how they're seeing it. But the problem is they're not speaking for the schizophrenics. And they specifically are not speaking for my son. They usually say, oh, we don't mean the lawbreakers. We're not talking about them. They can't throw him under the bus fast enough. So they'll get out there and they'll say, Don't do anything involuntary. It's terrible. It ruined my life.

Whereas the schizophrenics who did get successful involuntary treatment, they're keeping their heads down. They don't want to stick out. Most of them are keeping their mouths shut. So there's this very loud, very aggressive lobbying group that you can hear, I'm not very happy with them. And so I feel like what I would love to see happen

is if the autism parents' lobbies could begin to get their minds around the fact that realistically, maybe not their child, but somebody they know who was in their kid's grade or special ed class, somebody is going to develop schizophrenia. And the only question is whether their parents will be able to give them good care

Or will their parents be handcuffed by the laws and have to wait till the autistic child kills somebody, gets into the criminal justice system? I would love it if they could get past the stigma of schizophrenia. And I know that's a huge ask. It's like saying your child's gonna get leprosy. And I know that.

I know that because when I was facing that my child, my son Levi was my beloved, delightful little professor. He lectured people at the laundromat when he was three years old about how airplanes stay in the air. It's called the Bernoulli effect. He was delightful. I had to face that this was happening, and I went through all of the pain of that, all of it. So I get that. It's a big ask.

But if the autism parents could understand that all they have to do is accept it enough to begin lobbying for assisted outpatient treatment, because if their son or daughter does get there, they're going to want it, and it's going to be too late. Join me in trying to get, there have got to be autism parents in my county that could join me.
