So this formula is simple. In all of autism politics Compassion + Dignity is the solution to the problem. As this autism needs compassion and dignity so do the issues surrounding it. The pride people, the cure people and the human rights people on every side. This formula will solve the little problems quickly that compared to the big problems needing more problem solvers to solve together to be resolved.

Compassion + Dignity = (For the isolated who have autism.)

Compassion + Dignity = (For the struggling parents doing the best they can and who react as they do to autism.)

Compassion + Dignity = (To forgive intolerance even from that of pride and for those that are just doing the best they can to help.)

Compassion + Dignity = (For the social divide between inclusion and exclusion.)

Compassion + Dignity = (For acceptances and potential cures.)

Compassion + Dignity = (For equality and change.)

Compassion + Dignity = (For a world that simply is not educated and will never be properly educated enough to satisfy those who call others ignorant.)

You think you can commit to this basic formula and suggest it to others in autism advocacy. To much at stake in the "world of autism" for smaller matters to get in the way. More people need to work together or else improvements to choices and outcomes will not happen.

If I may I would like to mention compassion + dignity for people with aspergers, particularly adults, who are routinely referred to autism services eventhough these services have nothing to offer them.

I don't believe until such time as aspergers is recognised as having distinct real life impact raising needs different to the impact and needs of autistic people and parents and carers of autistic children there is any compassion or dignity involved in the current system.

Also regarding compassion + dignity autistic organisations and advocates don't mind using aspergers to increase their membership,donations and funding but don't give a hoot about the ever-growing aspergers hate movement. (eg - http://www.kmarshack.com/Asperger-Syndrome.html )

Can you describe this hate?

Have you ever heard of Cassandra Syndrome?

FAAAS and ASPIA are both dedicated hate groups and as I recently posted Aspergers Australia is another cover that has been set up by Tony Attwood and his cronies to continue to suppress any issues affecting people with Aspergers in favour of making it a parent's tradgedy or a partner's mistake - I have seen more research into how kids are affected being raised by Aspergers parents than I have than into issues of Aspergers adults. There is no genuine interest in helping Aspergers people, just dealing with us.

Eventhough Autism is sometimes mentioned Cassandra Syndrome and it's related stigma, that Aspergers people are unfit to have relationships or care for children and advocates discrimination in divorce and family court is overwhelmingly directed at Aspergers. It's advocates widely spread misinformation about Aspergers and disturbingly set themselves up as support groups and advocacy organisations.

I researched Aspergers hate in Australia a couple of years ago and fell off the planet in between then and now so I need to redo some research and recontact some people. I have just started working on seeing to it that Aspergers Australia is exposed and shut down and the impact of Aspergers is actually addressed for the individual, neither being small goals but lucky for me I got butt-kicking as one of my proverbial narrow interests

On a personal level with the perspective of a former social worker/community activist I see the signs of this hatred all the time. It is in every group that is set up for parents and family of Aspergers that portrays us as ret*ds or monster or even ret*d monsters. It is in every service for 18 months that has given me useless referrals because my issues don't rate as relevant or important and the myriad of ways people find to discriminate against me and make sure that I work twice as hard for half as much in this life for everything.

I need links.. I want to analyse their perspective with the truth I know of individuals I am aware of.

Interpersonal and sexual topics can be sensitive issues and if not dealt with in a sensitive way by professionals it is not professional.

good post
