Aspies For Freedom

Ditto ditto
May 2006 bring all of us great happenings and insights.

At the risk of sounding a sour note here I'm not sure I want to be seen as one of the hottest health trends for 2006.

I'm also not sure "Society" around my way has accepted homosexuality.

I'm not sure of the political flavour of The Times at this precise moment in time, but in the past right wing papers supported the Tories who brought out Section 28

Also Tory ministers did things like this

Does Rupert Murdoch still own The Times?

I am glad that AFF exists, I am glad that AFF has got some publicity.

Have a happy and vigilant 2006

I just wish they would quit it with the attempts to make us all look like evil monsters. I still often cannot sleep at night because of trauma.

The Law & Order episode(s) I was fuming about earlier are probably the best example. But hardly a day goes by on the news or talk shows where some crank isn't trying to associate autism with violent behaviour.

Sorry, I read it only today... well done, AFF, this is really cool!

The talk shows in question are early morning "talk shows" (usually little more than ninety minute commercials), if you get my drift. However, since the explosion of diagnoses of Asperger's Syndrome in Queensland, among other things, the talk segments in these shows have been trying to make out that it is being used as a ruse to con the welfare system.

The majority of all talk shows I've been unforunate enough to see glimpses of appears to be little more than "90-minute commercials".

I'm not surprised they wouldn't be above attacking people with AS, though. After all, people cheating to get disability must really generate big headlines. Never mind if you happen to hurt someone who might actually have AS, or something in the process, right..?

In Australia, there is a lot of propaganda about how everyone on welfare is a cheat or such. I have long harboured fantasies about suing the government for compensation in order to make it clear to the world about the violation of human rights.

The world wouldn't care. There are docusoaps to watch.

Ah, but therein lies the rub. They do care when you complain enough to cause modifications to their environment. You should have heard the moaning from normies when Wonderland got cancelled. Those that were inconsiderate enough to complain in the presence of a mental patient were soon told about its negative spotlighting and generalisation.

If we all got up now and protested the sale or broadcast of those two episodes of Law & Order, normies would notice and think maybe someone is tired of being generalised like this. We hear all the time with normies crying "this Aspie raped me" or "this Aspie looked at me funny". We are not being given the chance to detail all the times that normies have beaten us, stolen years of our lives, ad nauseum.
