Aspies For Freedom

People always fear what they don't understand or what they only understand in part. Unfortunately, autism falls squarely into both these categories - hence the utter hysteria displayed in articles such as the one above.

This thread is from 2004.  Now we're in 2007 and we know that autism is genetic, not caused by the environment.

it is frightening though, even though it outdated. Nature made us the way we are. why do humans have to fool around with Nature so much?

One day Our Mother Nature will bite back.

OMGZ THE AUTISTIX ARE TAKING OVER THE US WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!

How do we know mother nature isn't already biting back?

I have just exploded and possibly created a minor environmental crisis !!

I think that AS and Austism have been around a coupla million years, it's just that humans want to try and control things by measurement. And then interpret the results in silly ways especially if it gets them on the tv and makes them lots of money.

It probably is.

nyanchan- we talking about two differant subjects. and I was being fair Note i didnt lay total blame on NT's or Autie spectorm poeple ether.

I said  the HUMAN race  in general tries to fight nature.[/b]

first word out of my after watching this...was a swear form of:jerk .

Hehe. CAN is biting itself in the butt on this one!

I wonder if these yahoos will use the end-to-end, highly interactive, nonlinear, smart-special-effects-user-interface supported, automagically information seeking and integrating hypervideo television system I am building at work to make their next "public service anouncement."

I wonder, will they will care the whole thing, end to end, came from the autistic mind of an aspie?

Alas such parents are convinced that there is an NT child to be found somewhere inside of under or behind their autie child.  

As a good friend of mine said in response to this attitude: "What do you find when you peel off the outer layer of an onion?  And if you  peel away every layer of the onion, what do you have?"

Good analogy, Silky. I'll have to remember that one!

Sort of like "if it looks like a duck, it swims like a duck and it quacks like a duck - it's a duck!"
