This site is not unusual in it's dogged pursuit of mercury as the culprit. However, they are a bit...obsessive and include things like "neural deteriation"! Warning: This page has painful (on the eyes) web design....gah...please somebody buy them "Web Pages that suck!"
I could not look at this one for long... it was making me dizzy.

edit: WARNING: Upsetting to people who don't like autistics being "experiments"
The whole thing seemed like one long Ad. How is a nutritional supplement supposed to stop someone from being autistic? I take flaxseed oil (omega three) and several other things this does not make me any less autistic, along with exercise it helps with mood. I thought the vaccine link had been killed off long before this conference was filmed. I do not know anything about DAN, from what I have seem on this video, I find them very unsettling.

Recent survery shows that 90% of pets wear ID, and less 1% of missing children with Autism wear one.
Are they comparing an Autistic child to a pet?

No they are not, they are implying that parents of autistic children who have a tendency to run away (some autistic children are wonderful escape artists and try to run away or break out of the house at any given opportunity, day or night) should make sure that their children have some form of ID on them so they can be returned if they manage to run away.
I understand the problems involved. I could have written my question better. It appeared to me that they were comparing the actions of a child to a pet. It also could appear that they were comparing a parent’s common sense towards their pet that they may lack towards their own child.
So the question would be better put as do you think they were comparing an average parents inconsistent behaviour in two situations or saying that their child’s actions are like that of a family pet.
Urgh, I've only visited just a few of these sites and I already feel like throwing up in disgust! And to think of that they have the nerve to claim that they're HELPING us...
They ARE helping us.... destroying ourselves. I haven't come across any particularly offensive or revolting sites or ads, but i do remember a friend of mine reading a piece from a site that in simple terms said:"Children with a form of Autism or ADHD WILL become cold-hearted killers."
That said, the piece was removed, the site dismantled, and it's author sued several times over for slander, discrimination, and (due to one of his other pieces) anti-semitism (the site was dutch, anti-semitism is illegal to the point you can get arrested for shouting anti-semitist sentences here.)
He retracted his statements and articles, claiming something about a bad childhood, when that was disproved, he was forced to pay off a pretty large fine, and was forced to pay compensation to people or their families he had directly named in his statements.
Side note: Anti-semitism, in a simple way to put it, is hatred against the jewish people, after they found the death-camps, and the full scheme hitler had made was found out, they put up a law against anti-semitism here, at the fear of creating the oppertunities of a second holocaust.

I dunno, I regulary ran away from school, if only because I recieved daily abuse and violence from the other pupils (Literally, every day), and needed to get away simply to chill out, since if I stayed on grounds even in say, the library I'd be picked on; and the teachers banned me from the computers after I was physically beaten up over a computer and when the teacher came in, they said I was mentally unhinged and thrown a monitor on the floor (It'd been knocked on the floor after I was thrown into it. The teachers though heard so many of these rumours, even the headteacher called me a psycho (to my face)), so chilling there wasn't an option.
If someone had physically sent me *back* to school when I was in a state, I'm pretty sure you'd have a repeat of that scene from The Curious case of the Dog in the Midnight or whatever it's called. (Where he hits the policeman and get cautioned after they physically grab him)

Ryuunjin, that's the story of my son. He never physically escaped from school (he's ten now) but was continuously misunderstood (he had a full diagnosis and complete guidelines for the teachers) and mis-handled by the teaching staff. I do not think he received abuse from the other kids (most of them were more intelligent than the teachers :wink: ), but certainly from arrogant teaching staff (especially "support" teachers!!!) who thought they knew it all but showed they didn't have a clue.
I love my son the way he is and the only reason why we are working on his anxiety and anger management, at the moment, is because HE feels bad about it, I don't give a toss about what the teachers think. He's been off school for the past month and did not miss it.
We parents weren't hurt or abused by my son, but by the principal (headmaster) of his previous school, who bullied and insulted us several times in a way that makes you think who needs a diagnosis.
This forum is great, keep up the good work guys :wink:
Martina from Ireland
Avoid this site/psychologist:
Dr. Kathy Marshack
She's a marriage and family therapist, with an Aspie ex-husband, and has generalized everything about her bad marriage onto all Aspies. The first part of this page in her website describing AS isn't bad since it's mainly just spitting back DSM descriptions. But further down is the real kicker where she essentially says we make both terrible partners and parents.
And what's more she's writing a book on how terrible we Aspies are. :roll:
Edit: links to bad sites are broken on the forum
Hello All, ici Ilja,
I didn't checked it's here already, but this is what I found by accident on Awares in the Foyer (therefore it's from a probable misinformed parent or so that's gonna pay GBP 35 to 210 for a lot of BS):

Has anybody heard of a site called I2? Apparently it is a harcore site for renegade aspies and is said to have all sorts of derogatory comments about women. Some people from it are also in WP and the comments they even posted on WP were a real worry. They also spammed a site which was an offshoot from WP (people trying to get away from them and set up a site where people could be supportive of each other) with porn.
They sound like 4Chan rejects.
I'll stick with AFF thanks ;p
It's not great, but it's the best we've got
