Hillary Clinton allies herself with "autism speaks":
“
I am excited about this, I am looking forward to working with all of you to move this legislation forward, urrr because we have have to continue our duel efforts, urr we have to continue on the track of greater research and understanding,
so we can get to a point where we can prevent and cure anything along the autism spectrum...”

not that i was going to vote for her anyway, but i know now a country with hilary as president will be bad news for me, as she will try to make sure the way i live which i consider normal and the best possible of life into a criminal offense. i can't imagine being non-autistic. it's just not the same.
autism isn't a disease (it's techinally a disorder), it's a varation that has been in socitey since forever with it's own pros and cons. i can do things better than most and still can't do some things as others can. stop focusing on the negatives. and besides, normization creates a world where everyone is exactly the same and medicority is the new standrad.
sorry, preventing and curing autism isn't on my to do list. say goodbye to the autistic vote.
Ah, Hillary... She's excited for an oppertunity to say anything to people who want to listen. But she changes her position on things as the wind blows... All she needs is to see a poll that says it's an unpopular view and she'll come out against it and forget/pretend she was ever a supporter.
The only thing she's REALLY against is whatever her opponants are for...

Holy shite....and it doesn't even help I've been beginning to turn misanthropic lately.....misanthropic like Matthew (Neutron189), only worse.....
I bet she thinks this is a good political move. All those curebie parents voting for her. And what's really sick? She's probably right.
Politicians and their pragmatism really annoy me.
This gets worse everyday. And being autistic, what's the chances that we'll ever band together in a social gathering to protest? Bullshit, I'm so pissed off.
"She's in the party of meddling and nannyism"
Although I disagree with her on this stance and many others, and hope she is not the Democratic candidate, it's absurd to join clowns like Rush Limbaugh in calling the democrats "the party of meddling and nanyism" -- the GOP meddles on every level from reading our e-mail and stealing our phone records to international war-mongering and military imperialism. And they are the ultimate nannies -- but not for citizens. Their primary goal is to be nannies for the corporatocracy -- throwing billions at them while letting the poor and disabled in America starve. It is the job of the government to serve the people -- not to serve the thieving corporations who bribe them.
that gave me a good thought...you think the rise of corprate america means more bad news for autstics, who are less likely to follow orders like thoughtless sheep, like the way popular kids do in high school?
i think that if prehaps the govt and coprations are in kazhooz, they would want to get rid of anyone that does not fall in line into the people mega coprations want working, autistics indculded among others that don't want to get into the program.
you think this is why the govt is against autism then if this theory was true?
Well this is not any other large national charity/lobby group for autism other than Autism Speaks or Cure Autism Now. So either someone will have to work to build an organization that does speak for us, from scratch OR try to change Autism Speaks and CAN so that they do serve us.
My conclusion is he's somebody who's annoyed at both parties. Kinda like me.
Oh... and I think Hillary's way too leftist to make a good Democratic candidate. She'll lose the centrist vote.
Yeah, I agree. Posts like Margaret's are really encouraging. It's nice to know that that kind of parent is out there.
...The banning videogames *** was bad enough......
Please prove, citing the appropriate evidence, that my dislike of Dumbocraps means that I must automatically be a Repugnican. If you can't, please withdraw your insinuation about me.
It doesn't mean that at all. 1. Supporting either major party in your country does not mean that you can't pressure that party to do better. 2. Many people who do not like either major party still have the option to vote for minor ones. Not supporting one does not mean that you support the other.
(Although, I see no such insinuation.)
Clinton certainly knows how to appeal to the female vote. Women particularly are of the curebie mindset, as autism is percieved to be all about "a lack of social skills" and most women would have no reason to live if not for their "social skills". It's a smart move by Hilary Clinton. She's got the ethics of a dunny rat.
That's awful.
And I think someone said that she jumps on bandwagons all the time. She would make a TERRIBLE president, woman or not.
