RE: Room 101: For Rotten Autism Sites
The Soraya site has some interesting links. One is to safety advice about dealing with law enforcement.
http://www.autismriskmanagement.com/people.html
Persons with autism who are able to navigate the community without assistance should strongly consider developing a personal handout for the police. Remember that the initial uninformed contact with police presents the highest potential for a negative outcome.
Some suggestions to consider during sudden interactions with police:
Do not attempt to flee
Do not make sudden movements
Try to remain calm
Verbally let officer know you have autism. If nonverbal, use alternative communication tools, such as a simple sign language card, that indicates the need to write
Obtain permission or signal intentions before reaching into a coat or pants pocket, or reaching into a car glove box
If unable to answer questions, consider use of a generic or person-specific autism information card
If you lose the ability to speak when under stress, consider wearing an alert bracelet or necklace that is easy to see--one that lets the reader know you have an information card
Ask officer to contact an advocate, if necessary and possible
For the best protection of all involved, the person with autism who has been arrested should, either verbally or through an information card, invoke the right to remain silent and ask to represented by an attorney
If you are a victim or are reporting a crime, you do not need to have an attorney present to speak to the police, but you may want the police to contact a family member, advocate or friend who can help you through the interview process
Carry the phone number of an advocacy organization or personal advocate, relative or friend.

I really hate this site: hating autism.blogspot.com. Take out the space and type it in your Address bar and you will go to a very offensive site that preaches that autism is caused by mercury poisoning and that "no sane person opposes curing autism." I have no psychiatric history and I oppose a cure for autism because I don't hate myself. If an autistic wants themselves cured, then they need to see a therapist to work out their problems with self-image. Know what I mean?

Yes, that one's stirred up a lot of angst over the years. Just don't give them any mroe free publicity, OK?
However, please remember that your opinions and your beliefs stop where you stop and others start. If I want a cure, I don't need some self-righteous internet stranger ordering me off to see a therapist. Kindly pull your head in and get over yourself... if YOU don't want a cure, YOU don't want a cure. What I want is MY business.

Let's say that someone you knew wanted to wish away a certain trait of their personality but couldn't and went around moping and sulking and was really depressed about it. Wouldn't you agree that that person would need to see a therapist. That's what I equate being an autistic curebie to because I see autism as a different state of being, not as an illness. About me ordering you off to see a therapist, I didn't say that all autistic curebies should be packed off to see therapists. I said something more about needing to see a therapist. If you don't think you need any advice, simply say "Thanks for the tip, but I don't think I need it." My mother told me that that's the polite way to refuse advice.
P. S. I love the reference to 1984. I forgot to tell you that earlier, Wolfy

RE: Room 101: For Rotten Autism Sites
ok, so if I read the aforementioned autism hate blog properly.....It won't matter how happy i'll ever be, because I'm suffer from a horrible affliction caused by vaccinations to keep me from getting very nasty diseases....and the only way for me to ever achieve anything in life is to have a cure that doesn't work shoved down my throat (or up a vein)?
Sorry, don't think so. I'm just fine learning how to live with AS, thank you very much! besides, if I had to choose between AS and whooping cough, or measles, or mumps....I'd take the AS 
besides you can't cure what isn't a disease you can provide coping stratedies and such though.
It really gets under my skin when people say such

my latest photoshop project. Used a Screenshot of Sonic 3, and replaced the grass, rock, tree, and sky, with...well. real grass, rock, tree and sky.

Johanna, you waltz in here, start giving speeches more for the benefit of hypothetical google visitors than the actual people on the forum, and start having a go at me because I want to exercise my right to make my own decisions in relation to my health rather than jumping on whichever bandwagon makes me feel righteous. get over yourself. Like I said, if I want a cure, that's my business, and maybe it would be polite for YOU to consider that maybe that's based on my own honest analysis of my life, not any hypothetical trauma or self-esteem issues I may or may not have.
And if that isn't polite... to bad. I'm an Aspie. I'm blunt. I call things as I see them.

RE: Room 101: For Rotten Autism Sites
I was saying before that if you don't want to take my advice, then you can refuse it politely. I have had enough of feuding with you and having you flame me accusing me of flaming you. If you're going to continue to flame me, then I'm not going to speak to you and you will become the first person on my Ignore list. We don't have to be buddies, but please don't flame me!

I am not "flaming" anyone. I am standing up for myself. If having a spine makes you hate me, that's just fine by me.
