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:

I don't know of any websites off the top of my head, but it seems like anytime I read an article about autism in any parenting magazine, newspaper, etc the stories are the exact same.
Billly was a perfectly normal, happy baby and then one day  around 18 months of age he started losing speech, wouldn't make eye contact, yadda yadda yadda........

I can't relate to any of this with my child. Can't anyone write about anyother type of autism? We knew from the day she was born that she was just like my husband and my brother in law, we just didn't know that they had aspergers.

Well maybe...but Wolfy, where you perhaps refering to sites like AI?

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.

So many bad sites, so little time.....

           My unfavorite is the one for FAAAS, aka "Families afflicted with Asperger Syndrome"

Is that the one with a picture of a head opening up? It is ghastly.

Man, the one Wolfy posted seriously sucks...we all love amateur psychoanalysis of large groups one hasn't even met.  Mayhap you could return the favor, tell him he only thinks that way because of an unresolved Oedipus Complex.

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

        No, but this one has a bust of a head with one hand on the top, in apparent anguish. It is a truly nauseating site, devoted to families who play the victims of "us."

         Worse yet, it hawks the writing of Maxine Aston, who has publicly said that asperger's should be legal grounds to declare somebody an unfit parent.

                                   Jerry Newport

Are Maxine Aston's words in print anywhere, Jerry? I'd like to know the details of where and when she made that statement.

I think you and amy are talking about the same site!!

http://www.faa as.org

A truly disgusting site. Aspophobic in the extreme!

http://www.aspar .klattu.com.au/


another site.,  Apparently has gotten some irate aspies writing them already

Here is a quote from that appalling FAAS web site

This reminds me of a piece of advice that I once read, from someone who works as a marriage counsellor "We are all ultimately responsible for our own happiness, and we all have to accept responsibility for our own state of mind".

If being in a relationship with someone with AS is so terrible, why don't these whingers simply remove themselves from these relationships?

This really reminds me of Diane Kennedy's book on ADHD and Autism. Never read such utter nonsensical drivel in my life!
