Among others, L. Mottron takes the same dim view of French psychiatry,

and the French government's proposals about autism. But France merely

is *among* the worst in it's stance, not the only " bad " country by any

means. Bad as many places and situations are in the US, many many other

places throughout the world are far worse.
