Wow, an anouncement linking to my topic. I'm glad I posted this.

I'd edit my OP if I could figure out the edit feature...

I can't believe they actually did this. We really need a speaker (or more effective speakers) in politics.

Do we even have a speaker in politics?

I dream of a day when we all march upon the US houses of congress holding banners. That is the day when we will have won half the battle, yet it seems decades away.
Maybe AFF could lead it!
Even winning half the battle is better than winning none of the battle at all. We have got to win the whole battle though, or at the very least, as much of it as we can. And I know we can. After all, we are ambitious people.

But we're "broken" and "disabled" and we have "no **** idea what we're doing", so they won't listen to "retards" like us when we sue.
Or maybe we'd have to get into aggressive negotiations. Basically, Negotiations with an Ak47.

Please refrain from condoning any violence or illegal activity here. If required, we can all go to the high court, but I doubt that will be required for many years.
What is required is gathering our forces and spreading the word.
The aggressive negotiations thing was a joke. I normally would not shoot things down.

Here is more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combating_Autism_Act
They plan to screen all children by the age of two, and "develop... intervention programs." I wonder what exactly that means. After reading some of the "advice" those "cure" sites offer to parents, it sounds like they may just end up making a lot of children suffer unnecessarily (not to mention any potential side effects of drugs).

They can't even wage a war! I doubt they can do anything to us.

I'm getting ideas of gathering up allies, storming all the way over to Washington DC and protesting against the Act untiul they repeal it.

We hate the cure because we know it's going to rid us of our true self, and we believe that Autism is a kind of person, and should be accommodated by the people.

Having read that they are now going to try to collect as many autistic brain specimens as I can, I think I'd rather get cremated before someone takes my brain when I die. I recommend the same to the rest of the autistic population. Protect our brains! Show them that their research is useless!

Some autistic people are very social, even though they are not good at it. It's like singing: even if you suck, it's still fun.

You know what I think? I think all three branches of the government should be in on the billmaking. The judicial branch should also interpret the bill and declare it unconstitutional or damaging people's rights before the bill goes to the president. That would give us another chance before a conservative **** gives us the death sentence.

This isn't just bad, it's GENOCIDAL, even! I found what C.A.N. is REALLY an acronym for:
Crap
And
Nonsense
How come people couldn't tolerate the Nazis' prejudicial ways, but CAN tolerate the prejudicial treatment of people on the Autism Spectrum? It just doesn't make sense.

If Martin Luther King was never able to save the African American people, life today would obviously be different. Instead of your records saying African American, it might say that you have a certain skin disorder, which is, of course, bullshit.
That's an illustration of what is happening right now.
