Aspies For Freedom

Greetings,

In your search for information you are bound to come across some real stinkers of sites.  Post them here for all to see.

Judge for yourself.  I was in the middle of writing to the guy but I thought if he read my email he might cry or something - lol  :twisted:

Not sure what you mean - theres nothing wrong with AI as far as I know.  What made you ask that?

I was talking about information sites like the one I posted above.

Wow, that was a very harsh read. :shock:

One point was -

Often, as children we ...

"knew there was 'something' wrong with our AS parent
    *

were often required to parent our parents
    *

often begged our NT parent to leave the AS parent
    *

were miserably unhappy and longed to escape as soon as possible"


As a mother of an NT daughter, with some traits, it was depressing and so negative.

A site devoted to the eradication of autism...

Entitled "What's going on" - http://www.whats-going-on .net/essays-summary.html#Top

It has such gems as -

"An Autistic person is suffering from malnutrition"

"The Autistic is caught in a terrible trap."

"Clearly, the health of the mother has considerable inlfuence over whether or no a child becomes autistic."

"Everything autistics do is a reflection of their body coping with toxicity: self-injury, stimming, spacing out, toe walking, aggression, hyperactivity - not all autistics exibit all of these behaviours, but many do."

Well we are doing as much as we can to try and raise awareness as a group and as individuals.

The media are getting the message in some areas, but we do still need much more to drown out the negative noise of CAN and NAAR.

You are right, the site is awful, they used to have 'dawson' in the url, and a lot of it seems to be hatefully directed at Michelle.

"Because AFF posts are Google-searchable, any link posted here has the effect of raising the page rank of the linked site. Therefore it's in our best interest not to post working hyperlinks to sites that attack autistics. We should also post links regularly to sites that support our goals."

Very good point Bonnie.

Google gives a higher rating to newly posted links that it finds too.

What didnt you like?

I am not sure if she is a member of not, but AFF is not a support group.
I know she is a member of the autism assembly.

It really is astonishingly bad.

I haven't read it, does she only focus on adhd and autism though?


Edit: I was replying to a different thread/post by mistake.

Well they also put electronic chips into pets.....

Well, we already are the counter-organisation to them. There is no other group doing the same, afaik. Some of our members have done protests against them already.

We have threads about them in 'action against pro-cure groups'.

"The big problem with most aspie parents is that most of them don't know they are autistic. The big problems with NT parents of aspie kids can be not realising how different their child is to themself, or simply not liking their aspie child, and therefore having little motivation to do any more than lip service as a parent to that child."

I agree with that.
