Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 The thing about the neurodiversity types is that they have never been able to explain to me why I should consider normal a seven-year old (or a sixteen year old) who can't speak and smears his own feces on the wall. And I don't think anyone in the mainstream is willing to believe that autism is a perectly acceptable way for a human being to be. And some of the neurodiversity parents need to justify their decision to do nothing and see nothing. Vilifying us helps them feel better about their own decisions. In New York I tried to get these " voices for the autistic " to help us pass legislation to end health insurance company discrimination against people with autism. None of the neurodiversityu folks did a thing. > > > I saw one of those anti-cure videos.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 ; It's true you can't change their beliefs. You can include your sane opinion of their idiotic beliefs to help other uninitiated parents avoid being sucked into their nonsense. > > > I saw one of those anti-cure videos.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 The ND's efforts to expropriate the term " autism " from the disabled, repackaged to some fuzzy defined non-disabled " different " , seems to have limited success in the media. Their advocacy of " autism " simply rejects those disabled by it as an insignificant small, irrelevant number who don't really represent what autism is all about, aka our kids. I've come to the conclusion that the ND's don't collectively have enough social skills to pull themselves together to become a serious political threat to our efforts. They are however, capable of pulling off disjointed media political stunts that sometimes need to be answered. Lenny > > > > > I saw one of those anti-cure videos.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I've come to the conclusion that the ND's don't collectively haveenough social skills to pull themselves together toThis implies the ND actually are on the spectrum themselves. I think only a small number would fit the definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I suspect you're right about the dx. If you read their blogs they are just soaked with sarcasm -- this is decidedly NOT an autism trait. Probably a few borderline personality disorder types given the vitriol spewed. But even if it's not an ASD, other differential dx disorders often come with social skill deficits.
