From The Emergence Site -
"That Autism, OCD / OCPD, Asperger's Syndrome, and ADD are the same illness contracted at different ages; more so, that the age of onset determines what will distract the person."
How horribly innaccurate, it makes me cringe. :no

autism, aspergers, ADD and ADHD are all myths and are "on the spectrum of mercury poisoning"

They are basically pumping heavy metals into the childs body, as it is supposed to attract the heavy metals, such as mercury or lead, that are already there.
Who would agree to their child being deliberately injected with heavy metals? :-(

I think social anxiety is not generally concerned with "what do other people think I look like" and that kind of thing. Maybe you are misunderstanding what social anxiety can mean.
It can be a fear of being near people, fearing that you will be harmed by them, that you are in danger, that you will be put under pressure to talk and have no idea what to say, or have speech difficulties in general.

Social anxiety does not have to be diagnosed though or follow any criteria. In the same way that sadnes does not have a diagnostic criteria or need to be diagnosed, people can just feel it, and find it unpleasant.

"You are free to make up your own definitions of social anxiety but please accept that when people are discussing what is commonly known as "Social Anxiety", you have to accept that what they say refers to this concept and not the concept you have decided to call "Social Anxiety"."
I was talking about social anxiety, and not the website Wolfy mentioned. I am not "making up my own definitions" anymore than someone is entitled to say how they percieve sadness, or happiness, we don't need a diagnostic criteria for every emotion.

Noetic said "Yes, but "social anxiety" is not an emotion, it is a term for a specific anxiety disorder, and that was the context in which both Wolfy and myself used the term."
You are talking about a disorder, social anxiety disorder, I have not used that term in my posts.
I am talking about social anxiety, this is an emotional feeling of being anxious in social situations, I have not spoken about a specific disorder.
It is the difference between someone saying that they feel down, or depressed, and someone being diagnosed with clinical depression.

Peers can have a big influence on kids, especially with things such as popular tv shows and pop groups. If an NT kid feels pressure to fit in, they don't want to be the only one who hasn't watched the latest reality tv show.

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.

Reading that page made me quite angry - it seems that a lot of people marry or otherwise get involved with someone on the spectrum in a romantic way and then complain about traits which are blatantly obvious.
On AS partners a lot of women complain about their aspie ex husbands and let drop that they were dating them for up to a year. Why they still decided to get married after knowing they weren't compatible is beyond me. Perhaps they thought that they'd change? What disturbs me is how many of these poor men have no contact with their children due to a vengeful NT ex wife - one woman was advised by her solicitor that the judge would never allow an aspie to have contact with their children.
I could rant about this all day, especially as a married man myself.

Are you so sure that there is no explanation for the claimed ban? I have to wander about your claims. A five year old? yeah, interesting. Are you sure that he wasn't just kept out of some certain forums to spare him talk about blood and reading of cuss words? hmm?
Ok, let's get on with the thread being about OTHER web sights now...
