| Autistics Speaking Day is sort of like a counter-protest to the Communication Shutdown day. In Communication Shutdown, they're signing off of Twitter and Facebook and other social networking sites in an attempt to understand our difficulties communicating. But some of us feel that this won't be a go... |

| I originally posted this on my website No Stereotypes Here, and thought I'd share it here. November 1st is Communication Shutdown, and from the responses, it seems that more and more people are questioning the method of this Autism awareness event. As has been pointed out by bbsmom, it spreads the m... |

Thanks all, I just got the moderator controls, so I'm just learning the ropes over there. So the layout and boards may change very soon. Actually, I'm planning on changing them to include special interests and life skills.
thanks again! |

| I'm advertising this a little bit around the net. I just wanted to give a shout out here about the Asperger Women Association, a fairly new group with chapters all over the world. It feels a little bit like spamming, since I've just accepted the position of their Forum Moderator, and I believe Contr... |

| I think you might want to edit your video. I didn't watch it all the way through because the points took too long to develop. For instance, you over-explain neurodiversity and then you over explain diversity. Who is your target audience? I think defining that would help a lot. my target audience is... |

| OK, would someone please explain the difference between HFA and LFA? If this guy is "severely mentally impaired" and a low functioning autistic then I'm a vegetable. :? For the record, this guy has never claimed to be autistic, or to knowingly met any autistic individual. In all my discussions with... |

| yeah, I can understand how people can get that feeling about Neurodiversity. Ironic, I made this video to try and educate those fears that we're not all happy-happy "We're all-okay just as we are, without help". Trying to help people understand that we're not against accommodations and supports, jus... |

| was just cleaning out my inbox and found a flame for my Neurodiversity video. For those curious, this is what it says: "I saw that video that you put up recently with the ridiculous thoughts in it. I don't trust anyone who tells not to focus on negative aspects. Where do you get off saying "us" and ... |

Thank you all, I'm glad I've made a video that says things that people other than myself want to say. I hope that it gets spread around and raises positive awareness.
Also, Monkey, yes, Sigur Rós can be something of an acquired taste |

I just posted my youtube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vrSM-CwLwY
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vrSM-CwLwY[/youtube]
Just a warning, apparently it's being blocked in some countries due to copyright.
So what do you all think? |
