I Want a World Where Both My Boys Are Valued

I want a world where both my boys are valued. Yet, I seem to live in a world that would give my neurotypical son a heart transplant but not my autistic son. 

A young man named Paul Corby, aged 23, was just denied a spot on a heart transplant list because he has autism.

Petition is signed. I cannot believe the ignorance of an educated person such as this 'doctor'. What happened to the hypocratic oath? This is disturbing and disgusting behavior. This young man is just as deserving as any other human being for a new heart if he needs one. I am appalled. I hope my signature can make a difference.

That is heartbreaking and so wrong.
