Pride-Mites Officially Coined

Post Reply New Topic

I am the first one ever according to Google to apply the term pride-mites to autism politics and see for yourself. It is in response to others calling people curebies. I am doing so to be constructive for the times pride advocates go to far. Pride differs somewhat from self-esteem and can be entirely arrogant and reckless to the concerns of those with special needs. If you would like to know if you are a pride-mite, someone you know is one or a certain philosophy is pride-mite inflicted just let me know.

The intent is to come to some common ground because the anti-curebies have failed and will continue to fail because many times it is really self-centered and not considerate of those with more savere disabilities that do want, need or can benifit from treatments that are part of the cure model as treatments are forms of cures. Opposition to the choice to receive research into cures and their treatments is considered exreme pride-mite infestation and will be delt with politically accordingly.

My bias is a pride-mite called me a bunch of names including ignorant and spread a bunch of lies about me on the internet so I thought I'd go ahead and temper tantrum so to cause a stir because pride-mites are so confrontational at times they just are to arrogant to perceive others think for themselves and their twisted at times bull is quite easily picked apart. For that reason I am going to do around a million impressions of the pride-mite definition to autism search and content related criteria for fun. These pride advocates have been confrontational toward really good people for some time and as a person with autism I'm going to give them some battle in their social war.

Here is the Autism Politics Classifications:

Autism Hippie - Let's all get along. Make Love Not War.

Autism Observer - Just seeing the ego political nonsense without comment.

Curebie - Someone who is not anti-establishment or overly sensitive about allot of things pride-mites get bent out of shape about.

Pride-Mite - An infectious social mind viruses playing upon those with substantial disabilities self-esteems in order to preserve there high functioning self-esteem (ego). Potential external special interests such as a political parties lack of desire to pay for treatment such as inclusion supports of those whom choose and or are in need of support services.

The Pride-Mite concept in context to autism was created by a person with autism and not Asperger's Syndrome in response to the over zealous ego horse pooh in the autism community at times. It is a term of non-endearment created to make attention to people that think about their self-image and over-inflated ego's over the needs and dignities of others whom are effected by pride gone to far.

I think quite a few people here would qualify as Pride-Mites. I won't name names, though.

I'm an Autism Hippie. I want all of us to get along, whether people are against or for a cure, though I'm against one. I feel that we all have our own opinions about autism and AS, and I feel that we should respect and love each other, despite the differences in opinions that we have, in regards to the cure.

A conservative Mod who's an Autism Hippie. That doesn't seem right.

This is going to be fun even though cure does not mean abortion and a pride-mite-ish conservative hippie moderate seys otherwise

Punk hippie checking in here! Let's all get along dudes!

Yeah, I have to agree with your definition of 'pride mite'. As the owner of two pet rabbits, I know how irritating mites can be! Not all of us have IQs of 125 and can hold down a job and stuff... I expect there's a lot of people with ASDs who would like treatment or a cure for AS but are too frightened to speak out in case the mites internet shout at them.

But yeah I'm a hippie so I am off to smoke some... stuff... (by which I mean tofu...)

I made arrangements for around 30 million impressions starting in the middle of January. That way I don't ruin any pride-mite Christmases and this stuff can be over with. Will be a letter explaining the basics of the roots in propaganda pride advocates have used and wish folks a happy life and so on. Hoping to get people to focus on helping people instead of the fights over words and attacking each-other. People with autism need the social advocacy of these advocates and some of the pride stuff actually hurts.

I think it would be good if we could alleviate the difficulties of those with special needs. I'm not against help. However, I'm not sure that a cure is realistic goal.

Cure is just a word to me for aspects of autism which manifest differently in others that one can choose to work on. Research for this is best marketed as cures and is typical. It is not hate or pity folks.

I know I have benefited from alot of treatment...one could say my mom had the curbies. I remember clearly one time having a spinal tap done at the age of 9 years old...I screamed for hours as they were trying to stick a needle up my spinal cord. I had no choice in the matter...I felt like they were asaulting me against my will. All because the doctor said that I might have some detorating brain disease that is only testable by a spinal tap. Finally my mom heard me screaming like someone was killing me, and ran them out of the room and made them stop the procedure. This was very traumatic for me. I was a child not an illness.

There are other invasive tests that were done, my childhood was spent at the doctors office or in hospitals. Finally the help for me came from art and creativity, not from doctors.
The issue I have with finding a cure is sometimes the cure is more important than the person.

Yes, I believe in treatment, but the quest for a cure is very depersonalizing

I dont have a problem with a cure in itself, but from my expereinces, the quest for a cure made me feel less than human as these doctors did all these things to my body and I had no choice in the matter. All I could do was cry, but sometimes I would bite and scratch trying to defend myself.

Yes though it cannot be assumed as so very static and not dynamic in issue. It is a fascinating issue.

you might call me a hippie,but im not.hippies want everyone to get along.i have seen a lot of the other websites on politics of disabilty.dont you think people with physical disabilties hog the disability movement for themselves and ignore people with developmental disabilties.not to long ago i saw a mocking condecending post at the expense of people with downs syndrome by wheelchairs users on a disability forum.that happens all the time to people with autism and other developmental disabilties.i think all people whether there curbies or pride mites should stick together because the disabled comunity in general
has negative views of everyone with developmental disabilities
