I Am Autism - The War On Autism

Post Reply New Topic

No, of course not. How could I think such a thing?

(Note: post contains multiple links.)

I think it's funny but yes such a diverse politic can manifest adversity and variant politics. One human mind is one thing but many is like the complexity of the universe but even more complex perhaps. It is fascinating but I don't think anyone is going after anyone.

I've got a reaction of my friend and he told me the following:

"The researcher makes a very bold statement by making a conclusion about autism in general based upon RETT syndrome.

RETT is a pretty rare in terms of appearance. With it's very specific own traits."

I eagerly await your response.

Cheerfully,

Why do people have to be so stuburn and relentless over silly words (pride-mites).

Wikapedia:

Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease. The word pathology is from Greek πάθος, pathos, "feeling, suffering"; and -λογία, -logia. Pathologization, to pathologize, refers to the process of defining a condition or behavior as pathological, e.g. pathological gambling. Pathologies is synonym with diseases. The suffix "path" is used to indicate a disease, e.g. psychopath.
Medical Pathology, Veterinary pathology and Phytopathology are the study of anatomic, biochemical or microbiological diseases. The related scientific study of disease processes is called general pathology. Psychopathology is the study of psychological or mental diseases.Medical pathology is divided into two main branches, Anatomical pathology and Clinical pathology. Veterinary pathology is concerned with animal disease, whereas phytopathology is the study of plant diseases.

Conceptualizing everything as akin to a disease like in my thinking is how I view the world. It's just a word.

I will assess the responses with other research and take all relevant matters into equal consideration. Recommendations will be issued and a judgement will be made that adheres to both standards of dignity under the California law model and as well as adaptations with needed treatments (cures) and full analysis of the abortion and special interest issues socio-politically in context to mainstream politics. Folks the half-truths, propaganda, bull poopy arguments and so on is coming to an end for the good of those with substantial disabilities.

I still hope Molecular_Biologist will respond to my post. Maybe it will help the topic.

Ok here is the judgement.

Justice is served... And so on..

*enters un-PC, non-objective mode* ci, you should learn a bit about this thing called "thinking outside of the box".

I have only achieved by thinking outside of the box. So far that I need to come back and get lost in my thoughts.

lol you replied before i could delete the post, i got a little annoyed that's all.

Overcoming inside the box adversity is like going into outer space. It's very peaceful up up and away..

Babble babble..

I think both sides has their strenghts and weaknesses. The biggest problem is that curebies and aspie advocates are talking about different things. For a curebie, eradicating autism frequently means eradicating physical disease (like eliminating some dietary elements, removing heavy metals), or replacing maladaptive/disruptive behaviors (which parents or other people are responsible for creating in the first place, not autism itself). Nobody should disagree that we should eradicate those. But for an aspie advocate, this is not curing autism, as it doesn't change the differences in any way, just remove comorbidities.

The fault is really psychiatry's, that has defined such a monstrous critter like AS and Autism, which is a pity mix of a personality type (what aspie advocates talk about), the problems the personality-type creates in a non-accepting environment (which curebies primarily want to cure), and physical issues that just happen to be related to autism (the medical aspect).

Cure to me is about helping people in the way they want help. It's a fine line between forced help and a violation of fundamental human rights. Forced help usually happens when someone cannot take care of themselves. I do not disagree with assuring someone has a home to live in, has food and a decent quality of life.

As for personality autism spectrum manifest different for each individual. Saying something bad of autism is separate then autism is just political. For instance if someone does not socialize much, is hyper-focused and experiences isolation as a result of a lack of skills, desire and or distraction I don't believe someone is re-wired as a result of receiving help or the innate personality that is said inborn is wrong to change if chosen. There is allot of very wrong political peer pressure about this topic and I think it caters to special interest groups. However since autism is a set of characteristics and in some analytical views called symptomatology and an individual having his or her own unique personality just when does the so said autism personality and the individuals personality considered separate or different from one another.

I am most concerned with any self-advocate claiming an indignity for myself or others unaware that may entail the removal of funding for social services, treatments and adaptations one chooses and as well as is attached to the selective abortion issue which is a bias. It's when individuals were called curebees that this destructive politic manifested and caters to mainstream politicians that do not want to help. I think it's rather politically immature and destructive of advocates to hide behind the dignity and acceptance arguments in some circumstances in which they are causing more harm then good.

I hate the "I Am Autism" Video, because it is a great example of trying to find SOMEONE to blame and attack for their child's difficulties. it's this idea that autism is a sentient entity enslaving these children. It's so stupid. Autism is just a is a word we use to describe a spectrum of characteristics that cause disability in varying ways. It doesn't have an agenda. It is not evil and autistic children are not posessed. They are just people who just ahppen to have a disability.

This way of thinking is just the elephant in the room, really. You know what actually helps autistic people? Shutting the hell up and doing something about it; changing laws; finding ways to get people into employment; helping families to pay for therapy and to get support from a community; training teachers to know how to teach disabled kids/how to recognise these diffciulties; improving education as a whole; funding for ethical ways of caring for the most complex cases, etc, etc, etc. I'm not saying that money funding research is wrong, but you'd think autism speaks would also give a crap about actually providing services for people (which they don't do much of).

Winging about how rubbish it is to have an autistic child might relieve some stress and help you to express those feelings, but there comes a time when you get up and do what you need to do to just get on with your life. Yes, life does happen to go on even when you have a disability.

Oh, but that takes real work. It is so much easier, so much more emotionally satisfying, and so much more successful for fund raising, to just demonise the "other". It is unjust, unfair, inhumane, and bigoted - but as long as the majority find it easier, that's the road they'll continue to take.

The disability is at fault not the person. However if you call the label yourself you will take it more personal. However I will say the video even to me effected my emotions negatively but I do not think such a video will be created again. Far cry from it being a video akin to from the KKK, bigots and alike.
