Aspies For Freedom

After reading all these, I think we need to form a counter-organization (or "organisation", for our UK and Australian friends) to CAN and DAN.  After all, we don't need to be "cured" or "defeated" - although we could use some assistance in adapting to the NT world, and maybe getting it to adapt to us a little.

The name that came to me in half-sleep last night was HAND, for "Help Autistics Now, Dammit!"  The slogan - "We don't need a cure, just a HAND!"  :smile:

I love this thread! I come across dumb sites ALL the time! I am not sick, suffering, a victim, afflicted or any other lable, i'm happy that i'm highly intelligent and logical, that is not a disorder!!!

hating autism.blogspot. com

it's the site by the internet troll.

autism speaks is definley rotten, since they desribe hope as the end of our kind...that's terrible.

It's been mentioned before, that guy definitely has a screw loose. And anger problems. And a massive stick shoved up his ass.

I just read some of his blogs. Other anti-autism sites make me sad or afraid--this one is just silly. He doesn't even try to prove his assertions, he just repeats them over and over, as if stridency would make up for the fact that he doesn't substantiate his claims.

What horrible conditionists people are becoming these days, just like what it says in my signature. It seems as if there has always been nasty, discrimatory bigots ever since language was developed. The first type of discrimination probably was against females. And much much later it was discrimination against black people. And now it is discrimination against homo/bisexual people and anyone with mental disabilities or conditions, mainly autism.

I'm really hoping that your mention of "Japs" was supposed to be some sort of joke.

Just because certain slurs are not as bad as others doesn't mean that it's respectful or proper to use them.

he's a troll that works for generation rescue run by john best jr.  he often makes havoc for the anti cure folk and isn't very bright at all.  and yes, he's a dope.  he also trolls as "fore sam" saying he's doing all this child abuse for his son to be better.

what is OCPD?

Hello and welcome to woman from mars!  We do have an introduction thread somewhere but it was never stickified (I should do that this weekend!), so new people pop up anywhere and we are always glad to have them.  

Heh, I like that modesty.

here's one that recently come up: aboutourkids.org/about_us/public_awareness .  their ad campaign 'ransom notes' is utterly offensive, as they go with the view that autism holds people for ransom like abductors.

Is the UK as bad as the US with over-litigious-ness? It seems like we'd be pretty hard to top.

Someone claimed that autism was invested in the 1970's? Wow, that ignores reality even more than the vaccine-causation "theory" - um, didn't she ever hear of Kanner or Asperger?

Thanks for alerting me to the fact that the site was changed...link is gone now.
