To me the puzzle pieces don't give that impression, they give me the impression of that they are fitting things in.
They give me the impression that there are links that need fitting together. That things are different. Rightly so. Everybody is different.

However i find mysellf asking the question from the original post of ... Why? A great big long rant as to how much Autism speaks is hated. Yet I find not one bit of an answer as to why so much hate.

To be fair. I don't know much about the board. I am prob a member of it on facebook or something. But could someboody please explain why? if you add the question Why... to vertually every single point made, then answer it. I may begin to understand a bit more :s


There are a lot of Autism Speaks threads here, I would suggest reading them and also researching them (NOT on their own website), you may begin to understand the reason they are not so popular here.
And a word of advice, research carefully, look at both sides of the argument and beware of becoming a voice for them, especially here.



When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells and run my stick along the public railings and make up for the sobriety of my youth.I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick the flowers in other people's gardens. And learn to spit...
