Aspies For Freedom

Not sure what the usual traffic is on this site but there are more than 500 guests as I type this - most sent from Fark.com I presume...

Glad to hear the bullies have backed off - I suspect they know you would have support from around the world if they did not..........

And the Fark headline "Autism Speaks, a charity that claims to speak for autistic people sues 14-year-old autistic kid when she starts a parody website about autistic people being able to speak for themselves." made me chuckle then come over here...

Never ever let someone else push you around - and when the bullies push, let the world know - someone will step in to help...

Especially by an organization that spends $18 million on salaries, benefits, administration & fundraising to allocate $14 million in grants...  http://www.autismspeaks.org/docs/2006_An...FINAL3.pdf

By the way, love your warped sense of humor in coming up with the banned website...

I would contact the ACLU, just in case you want to challenge them.

I don't agree with the ACLU on many issues, but they are excellent civil libertarians when it comes to speech.

Good for you, Abscout, and don’t you back down a bit.

The SOBs who run the local chapter of Autism Speaks, here in Cleveland, tried to have me arrested. Whether you think autism is influenced by environmental factors or you don't, I think most people would be appalled to know that somebody just standing on a public sidewalk politely handing out information would be threatened with arrest if they didn't cease.

First the SOBs tried to have me arrested outside of one of their benefit concerts, where I was handing out information about thimerosal. (I would ask people entering the venue if they would like some information about vaccine safety, and if they said yes I handed them a flyer, and if they said no, I let them pass.)  Two police cars showed up and police officers told me to leave and I refused. The chief of police eventually came and he told me I could stay.

Then, a few weeks after that happened to me, the local chapter president here in Cleveland, Ms. Shari Goldberg, posted on a local internet forum trying to raise money for Autism Speaks, which made me apoplectic. So I posted a reply to that forum, explaining the arrest attempt outside of the House of Blues on April 21 of last year, and I can't believe it but the biatch lied about it and said that nobody tried to have me arrested.

I took it upon myself to obtain a copy of the police incident report.

Great, now I have a police record. The incident report says that I was 'threatening and harrassing' guests. I was doing no such thing. It also says that the House of Blues sent for the police, but it was the women of Autism Speaks who'd organized the concert there at the House of Blues who had told me that I'd be arrested if I didn't leave.

Goldberg has lied to me, and about me, publicly, and I'd sue her a&& if I had the resources to do it.

Autism Speaks is as corrupt an organization as exists this side of hell, except maybe for the CDC. I so want them brought down.

Whether they are "for or against" is irrelevant - the reason many of us dropped by is that we support reasonable freedom of speech.

We saw what Autism Speaks was doing to abscout so we came to see if we could help. I (for one) hope that nogggin is given the same right to express their opinion whether one agrees with their position or not.

Something to consider..........

Just my opinion, but even though they dropped their "case" against you the point is that they were threatening you with legal action.  That was wrong. Think about bringing this public and embarrassing them.  Think about it, okay?

Good luck. Don't let anyone tell you who you are but yourself.

The media will check out the other thread since that is the one linked by Fark.

You should probably post the above message there.......

Does anyone know abscout in real life? Do they need our assistance?

Thanks for posting the full article ... if nothing else it's made me aware of this site .... more power to you all.

I have been documenting the fecal matter that has been flying on the Autism Speaks forums on my website, its at http://www.thezach.net/about/aspergers/aspeak/forum

They tried turning it into an attack on Amanda Baggs, tried saying people with Autism can't make decisions becuase our heads our full of mercury.  These people are upsetting me.

Now there ganstas with egos are attacking me.

I know, thats an attack that makes JohnBest look like an angel.

I think its just a attempt to provoke me into attacking him seeing as he has read my website and knows I'm a Chrisitan and very close with my church.

Wheres a quote on John Saying this, because I have contacts in Ron Paul's campaign and I would like to find out if he is aware that he is 'supporting' John Best
