Anyway riding on the coattails of meme isn't a good strategy and it would make us seem camp.

It would be nice if it was more visible that we are many.

The same purpose as the Spartans from 300, and the Neurotypicals are their enemies, trying to dominate them!
So my little girl and my best friends are your enemies? Mmmmm...OK You can consider it "friendly fire then when you are getting mowed down by other autistics.
Is that kinda what you have planned?
Oh the Jenny McCarthy thing? Yeah she is an idiot. There are plenty of idiots in the world non-autistic and otherwise. Now if you are you thinking it will take three hundred aspies to prove she is an idiot, I think you are seriously overestimating other people's perception of her intelligence and relevance o the world. I saw a post with Max saying she was on Oprah. Prior to this I did not have the slightest idea of who she was. Quick searching on the internet on who she is hasn't given me any indication of a powerful presence or a brilliant mind.

Well, I see the "Aspies are good at math" stereotype has been dealt a deadly blow...

Looks bad, Shimsham. You're down to 299 and you have a clown for a leader.
No way you can win without Ethel. If TenaciousCJ and Woman from Mars fail to heed your rally cry, you might as well stay home with the video games...

Ouch!
Umm... I might be part of it as long as it isn't violent and if there aren't any "we against" them mentality... and if I can be a member even if I can't choose to trip out of Norway at any given time.
Some aspies are very, very good at math and many of these become good programmers, but not everyone has the same special mental abilities. 'ey! Batman55!

If you want a real workable publicity stunt, here's one:
Get a group of American aspies & auties (wish I could join in, but this one's America-specific) to target the "Combating Autism" act by assembling out the front of the white house with a white flag, demanding to enter into peace treaty negotiations. I guarantee that it would make headlines... *grins*
Aside from that, I think there's plenty of publicity stunts one could plan without entering into an us vs them scenario.

That's the spirit! I get really nervous when anyone starts using us/them talk, or words like 'enemy', in stuff like this - because a misfired publicity stunt that makes Aspies look violent, irrational, or just plain silly, will not do us any good at all. It will make us look stupid. Aspies Are Stupid is not the message we're trying to spreak.
Plus, it will have the Kill Or Cure brigade standing on the sidelines with their chelation gear saying "See????"

I could definitely go for this idea. Seriously, if there were going to be a bunch of other people to gather with, I would scrounge up the money for airfare by any means!

Can we still do that white flag idea to advocate repealing the "Combating Autism" act?
07-29-2008, 07:58 AM
I'd go, and I could probably convince a few people in ASAN to give it a go.
