Aspies For Freedom

This is from an interview with an athlete, the statistics go unchallenged.

Q: You have always given a lot of your time and energy to different charitable organizations. Why have you been so involved?

A: Ultimately, as a human being, I'll be judged on the things I do off the ice. As professional athletes, we're in a position to make a difference, so I embrace being able to do events at the children's hospital. Obviously, having a son who is autistic has helped me get involved with these groups.

Q: You are the founder of the Carson Kolzig Foundation, named after your son, and are active in supporting Athletes Against Autism. What message can you spread about autism?

A: I don't really have a message. Really, I'm hoping to create awareness. One in 16 kids is diagnosed with some form of autism. I just hope we can continue to fund research to help these kids and their families. Autism changes lives. It changes the family dynamic and is really stressful for those family members dealing with the disease. People don't know a lot about the disease; they usually think of the movie "Rain Man." But they need to know these kids are special kids and can excel just like anyone else.

athletes against autism...i have heard about them before, they are alligned with can i think.  as an avid sports fan, this dissapoints me, i will not be supporting the atletes that are essentlay against me, becuase autism is who i am, not as a bad thing, but it's a essental part of me, without it, i wouldn't be me.  they promote that autism is a flawed way to live (i think it's a pretty darn nice way to live, been living that way my whole life, no sense to change now, it's all i know) and cure is the only answer for us.

i fear that espn (an all sports network in the states) may push can and the such all next month.  i have a sports site i blog on, expect alot of heat in the coming weeks if this is true.  i don't support adgendas that promote people as useless and tradgies and the autstic way of life as inferior, etc.

and on the deveopmental part, i belive that autstics have a delay, becuase i look younger than my peers in collge, i'm going through a stage which most of my friends went though during high school (rebellion, want to get out), so even though i'm 20 and am really good in school (mostly A's and B's as a bio major), i feel my emotional age is about 15.

**cough**.  my family life was not stressful when i was growing up...my parents are still happily married and we're problay the most stable of our extended familes, and they wouldn't want to change having me for anything else.  and i know for a fact, i'm not diseased, just diffrent.

Olie Kolzig, Byron DaFoe and Scott Mellanby (national hockey league players) are the founding members of the aaa, which is a section of CAN pertatining their eugenics agdenda on the common sports fan.  not sure how many other atlethes are alligned with this little section of can, but i won't be suporting those atlethes and their so called charity efforts, as it is all eugenics.

They probably meant 1 in 166. That is a slip of the pen.

The only population of which I know that to be true is in Romanian orphanages, when one in 16 seem to have autism.

Let's get out there and breed, breed, breed people!  With statistics like that we have becoming the dominant population within our grasp! (Cue maniacal laughter...) :lol:

It could be a slip, but I have seen numerous people stating 1 in 30 children or even less have some form of autism so it's hard to say.

The only way i can see how that statistic could make any sense is if ADHD was included in the autistic spectrum. I think there are some who might argue that it is, but this is a very contentious idea.

Sounds similar to the advent of the Prozac age.  There was money to be made by selling anti-depressants so suddenly millions were suffering from depression and prescribed.

Could it be that drugs are being readied for the mass market for autism or old drugs being approved for that use?
