Hello everybody this is my very first post on WrongPlanet.I was wondering if there are some organizations or peoples who are racists against us, Aspies, like the Ku Klux Klan is racist with black people or like the Nazi party was racist against Jews?


I would be glad if you could answer my question about a hard-to-talk topic...

Well, autism isn't a race, so I think the word you're looking for is discrimination.

Welcome to the forums!

Asp-Z

Have just had a look at them. They look scary. I can imagine talking to them and being regarded primarily as a medial condition. It is most dehumanizing when talking to anyone and their tone of voice changes after they have singled you out as being different .

Oh yes, not to mention their aim of killing us before we're born in the future, and the fact they're pretty much a massive group of con artists.

Will they abort all spectrum ? Take away our freedoms in this time? Do they have global influence?


Hmmm. (Runs simulations)

We can take them down and any other group like them, should it come to that.

Do not be afraid.

Could you name or shortly describe some of those organizations ?
