Nicely put. Yes, indeed.

I like this model. Just like the United Farm Workers was more than just Cesar Chavez, and the Civil Rights Movement was more than just Martin Luther King, Jr., as many contributions as each of these good people made. So, I think there is lot to a shared model of leadership.

I am also interested in the theory of the "good enough leader." I've most commonly have heard this in regard to Presidents. If a new President builds up too high expectations, people are almost inevitably disappointed. And so, as the theory goes, it's better to come into office with realistic expectations. And not that a leader should intentionally made mistakes, he or she will probably make enough naturally. But they don't need to be nervous and worried about downplaying and glossing over their mistakes.

And in smaller groups, perhaps no better way to give people realistic expectations than let them do the tasks of leadership for a while, with coaching of course so they'll be set up to succeed.

Wishing you good thoughts with the websites.

I think a variety of groups is good for Asperger's / Autism Spectrum rights and community. Just like the Civil Rights Movement had SCLC, NAACP, Urban League, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Congress Of Racial Equality, and I think several others.

Promises. I do not make promises in my advocacy as far as far reaching goals for employment inclusion with regards to Humboldt Includes for instance. However the exact socio-psychology of it is classified by the mother-ship (humor) but I consult psychological \ behavioral specialists in the relevant field. The best way I can translate it to you is I can explain it in full in two years but until then a complete psycho-social outline would risk potential outcome. Media, broadcasting and business associations are already on-board.

With regards to your other post and this post AAN (Autism Advocacy Network) in idea there are no direct members. Other groups and self-advocates exist elsewhere. It is hoped to become simply a network facilitation tool. Groups and individual advocates contact the awareness facilitation for an issue of concern to be distributed to other participants. Good ideas are published and participants check in with regards to their local progress for regional, state and national prerogatives for inclusion for instance. Not really about drama per say but the risk of hardened positions being centralized in social liability are drastically reduced by allowing diversity to partake and utilize it's facilitation.

The intent in premise is fundamental action so as to manifest in local and regional capacities inclusion public relations models and action advocacy on a national level for intervention in human rights and inclusion matters strictly by participants in their say so. Moreover the central agenda is collaboration of diversity and not so much a pre-formatted dictation and is a service of participants and not otherwise. It's website will be .

? can you please use words that we can all understand

The idea that an anti-cure autism pride advocate can do no wrong, is politically immune (protected) and is in the best interest of others with autism all the time can no longer be believed.

I am not very much into the star trek.

Studying what music videos are talking about yes. That is an interest. I've seen this one over 300 times.

Forgive my ignorance - I am not in the Anglo-saxon world and so quite out of Autism policies of any kind. I am puzzled by one thing and I hope you can make it clearer. How come a self-advocacy association supports policies for selective abortion? I thought it used to be the opposite. I may have completely misuderstood, though, so I'd like to be explained.

It's kind of hard to tell because ASAN says one thing but it's always a misunderstanding if more then a few disagree.
