I've been following the posts on the FB page in question since I last posted. These seem to be the main points the lunatic is trying to make:
-Aspergers shouldn't be called Autistic
-Autistic people are mindless animals
-Asperger's and Autism are brain damage caused by mercury in vaccines
-There is a "cure" for AS and Autism (as yet unrevealed by the owner of the FB page)
-Ari Ne'emen and other Autism Rights groups are suppressing this supposed "cure"
-By suppressing the "cure," Ari Ne'emen and Autistic Rights groups are responsible for the Sandy Hook shootings
I can't believe that Facebook hasn't taken the page down yet. Free speech is one thing, libel is something else again.
It is pretty obvious who the individual is that is behind this, and he is no longer taken serious by most. Some of the folks commenting there have already figured it out. If he was using his real name, it's not likely anyone would have paid it any mind. I know of only one person that has spent this much time attempting to personally attack Ari Ne'eman.
What's unfortunate is that some people responding to that page identifying as on the spectrum apparently have no idea who Ari Ne'eman is and are literally taking the title to mean that it IS BY Ari Ne'eman instead of an attack against him. "Cure Asperger's, Prevent Fraud by Ari Ne'emen".
The more this topic is spread among different sites, some people in the general public are going to get the idea that Ari Ne'eman might be behind this because of how some people are responding to the name of the site, in a literal way, in the comments. It appears that all facebook made him do was to change the name of the title, as that previous one was highly offensive, and against the community standards of facebook.
I doubt that facebook is going to remove the site because he is now basically spreading a conspiracy theory, that is ridiculous, and not one that most reasonable persons would take seriously. He's a big mercury causes vaccine proponent; he is likely referring to the removal of mercury from vaccines as the cure to Autism in 2000.
Visiting that site is pretty much the equivalent of visiting a known troll's site, rather than the troll visiting another person's site. In this case it's easy to get rid of the nuisance, it doesn't exist until someone goes there. On top of that he is in control on his facebook page and can delete whatever comment that doesn't appeal to his agenda.
