I want to introduce a law that stops people selling dangerous cures for autism.
Under current law people can promote and sell cures for Autism. This is not only dangerous as many are selling bleach as a method, but it is false there is enough evidence to prove that Autism can't be cured. I would like for there to be a law put in place which prevents people from selling cures.
The reason why I would like this to be put to Government is because of the risk it could pose to Autistics health.
It is also goes against all logic to anyone who has any understanding of Autism to assume that Autism is curable.
It is also offensive and highly ableistic for people to believe that curing Autism is a good idea.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There are already laws to prevent the fraudulent advertising of products as cures for medical conditions.
