If he raises any money by using the word "autism", it would have to be illegal.<br /><br />Perhaps someplace from this site?<br />http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/governments.phpJohn Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133970669787632440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-67583143141198771042009-05-06T17:30:00.000-03:002009-05-06T17:30:00.000-03:00Did you read Gonzo's (think that's the poster) on ...Did you read Gonzo's (think that's the poster) on the Hub today that pretty much says that an autistic person that is violent isn't autistic.... in his "well a Scotsman wouldn't do that so he can't be a Scotsman" post.<br /><br />Fingers crossed 2010 is coming. And hopefully the Aspies and the NLD's are off the spectrum.... even if it means kicking off mine... but only until I agree to get him re-dx'd :).... in Gr 8. But I'd rather he be off that to claim he and his younger brother are the "same".<br /><br />Why they think anyone should have to sit in a room, in an institution, in a group home, locked up, without friends, without communication skills, without spouse, children, job or life... is OK.... Have you read Portia Iversten's "Strange Son".. the woman that started CAN. Now, if there's a story to further therapy and cure.... it's that one.<br /><br />Must be nice to forget or ignore the severe end of the spectrum to further your own POV.<br /><br />Must be nice to ignore the little boy on my lap who's been ill for 2 days and home with his Mom and unable to tell me exactly where it hurts and what is wrong.... Best I can do is hand out the Motrin (fever - yes, ear - think so, tooth - lose but I don't think it's sore - have to wait until June 1 to see the Ped Dentist, sore throat - having trouble swallowing) and wait for tomorrow's Dr's appt.<br /><br />But.... it's not their problem little boy can't tell me what's wrong.... <br /><br />I wrote a slap in Change.org's Kristina's post on "can we get along" a couple of days ago.... ASAN is DANGEROUS. Gov'ts are going to say "well in that case, let's just cut.... here".<br /><br />S.farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-4833552362100973562009-05-06T16:52:00.000-03:002009-05-06T16:52:00.000-03:00Hi Harold, have you read my latest blog post about...Hi Harold, have you read my latest blog post about the forthcoming article in newsweek that I had heard about? Perhaps you could consider fighting these people proactively and joining me and some other people in writing newsweek a letter saying that in all fairness they should give our side of the story equal time.jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972394536850151087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-47617316030804615122009-05-06T16:23:00.000-03:002009-05-06T16:23:00.000-03:00In that article I could see the same garbage: some...In that article I could see the same garbage: some autistic traits are good, several talented people have them, if we cure autism we cure talent, don't we, folks?<br /><br />Shameless propaganda. The truth: "autistic traits" is not the same as autism, which is a disorder. If Bill Gates likes to rock back and forth doesn't mean the wealthiest man in the world is autistic.<br /><br />Secondly, the autistic people who succeded, like Dr. Temple Grandin did, succeded not BECAUSE but IN SPITE of their autism.<br /><br />In the case of Dr. Grandin, I watched a film from the MIND Institute in which she witnesses of the hard work of her and her parents to make her what she is right now.<br /><br />So, autism "acceptance"? Acceptance of people of autism, yes.<br /><br />But acceptance of autism? God forbid!Marius Filiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369035654997497568noreply@blogger.com
