Hypatia's Transition Package

 HYPATIA'S TRANSITION PACKAGE -- which I will sell to you for the low low price of zero dollars!

*TRANSITION -- On your child's 18th birthday, you permanently and irrevocably transfer TO YOUR CHILD all control and influence over your child's body, personal life, medical decisions, money, and education. There! Transition complete!
*PREPARING YOUR CHILD FOR TRANSITION -- You have 18 years to prepare your child for adult life, usually with the assistance of an assortment of professional teachers. If you've chosen to squander those 18 years by focusing all your attention by doing battle with your child, trying to control your child's "behaviors," and prioritizing lessons of "sit still, quiet hands, look people in the eye, touch nose, get gummy bear, conceal, don't feel, don't let it show" over actual academic and practical education, then just back away. Your kid is legitimately better off struggling to get through life on his own with no guidance than spending another minute receiving your kind of "help."
*TREATMENTS, THERAPIES, AND SERVICES -- Are up to your child now! Not your problem! And if your child immediately drops out of behavioral therapy, that's not a "service gap"; that's evidence that behavioral therapy is a miserable experience that people want to run away from as soon as they get a choice in the matter.
*ACTUAL HELPFUL NON-PATHOLOGIZATION-BASED SERVICES -- Incredibly hard to come by! Rare, underfunded, and almost impossible to qualify for! Sorry, the budget got all eaten up by behavioral therapy. But isn't it more important to teach kids to touch their noses and get gummy bears? Conceal, don't feel, put on a show! MAKE ONE WRONG MOVE AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW!
