Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I just watched a story with the great aunt from S. Korea on CNN.com and they did not say he was autistic. She said he was ver ycold and did not answer her even as a child. His mother was worrtied about him. He had mental problems. If other networks are saying autism. Society will equate autism to mental illness. Another good reason for the government to " find " that illusive autism gene.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Nope - typically the discussion is around autistic children being killed themselves (e.g., " The United States of Leland " , the several murder-suicides at the hands of their parents, etc.)... > > In history... has there EVER been someone with autism who has killed people > or a person on record?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Cheers is right! And "bottoms up". And "I'll drink to that." Re: Re: MSNBC-Family said he was autistic Seriously, I wish someone would do a study on that...i.e, where does the mercury vapor in those who imbibe alcoholic drinks (especially wine, which at least has some recognized "health benefits" in moderation) end up? A few years ago, I even heard Dr. Boyd Haley mention that those who drink alcohol, are less likely to end up with Alzheimer's. Is it because the alcohol thins your blood somehow, and prevents the mercury vapor from getting into the bloodstream (as some forms of mercury are aquaphobic), or is it because those who drink succumb to other ailments or accidents before Alzheimer's would catch up with them? I'd be curious to find out more about this, Cheers, Aasa Hooker <briandream-big (DOT) us> wrote: That explains a lot... hic'> > > > >> > > > > you have got to be kidding.. now I can just see it all over the > > > > news > > > > > headlines... this is not good..

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Maybe he did have autism or maybe not but he had some other issues going on besides just autism i.e. manic depressive, bipolar, schizophrenia. Or maybe the meds he was on put him over the edge. That I could understand. My son was on Seroquel for about 2 months and it ended up putting him in horrible fits of violent rage. He should have been hospitalized. If a higher functioning person had this same effect who knows what the outcome would be. I just don't see the kids and adults with autism that I know being that calculating to do something like that. Having a meltdown in the grocery store because they moved the coco-puffs to a different aisle… absolutely. > > > > In history... has there EVER been someone with autism who has killed > people > > or a person on record?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 How does someone with “mental problems” get thru 3 years of college? I know people who were NT and couldn’t get thru a semester.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Someone alerted me to some crap on Kev's blog today. He posted about his fear that we're going to use this Virginia Tech tragedy as a platform for demonizing autistic children. WOW. What a horrible accusation... but also a clear demonstration of the neurodiverse double standard. When time and time again us " curebie " parents are accused of fostering an environment that could possibly cause parents to devalue their children... or in rare instances murder them... but when an autistic commits a murder, GOD FORBID we should discuss the incident as an example of how children with autism need treatment, therapy and services! Hypocritcal spin at its worse. > > >> > > > >> > I heard that CNN pulled the autism label from the report... is > this > > > true?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Alert Satan he's gonna need a down coat today, hell just might have frozen over. I agree with Kev. And I just wrote a piece about it for HuffPo. I am very afraid that people will hear " AUTISM " and instead of picturing Rainman, which is bad enough, will now picture CHO the vicious killer. I'd be especially afraid if I had boys with autism. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Kev has a lot of trouble differentiating between demonizing the mercury that caused the problem and demonizing children. I surprised he wasn't demonizing the bananas I offered to send him for his daughter after he called her a monkey. > > > >> > > > > >> > I heard that CNN pulled the autism label from the report... is > > this > > > > true?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I agree that nobody wants our children to be demonized. Nobody wants our children to be seen in a different light because some whacko (who happened to be on the spectrum) murdered a bunch of people. But I say that we can talk about this tragedy as an extreme example of the kinds of social problems our society might encounter (albeit possibly RARELY) if our children's medical & social needs aren't met. Including society's acceptance of them. The neurodiverse think we do not accept our children as they are. They equate Autism with the person. As though autism and the person are the same entity. That is the height of insanity. > > Alert Satan he's gonna need a down coat today, hell just might have > frozen over. I agree with Kev. And I just wrote a piece about it for > HuffPo.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I see your points -- My point is I don't think this man was autistic at all - none of his docs or educators have said he was -- I don't want people to jump to the conclusion in a guilt by association kind of way. That's all. K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Mercury (or other toxic poisons) have historically been known to cause problems with anti-social behavior. One source I read said that the majority of men in prisons today have HIGH levels of heavy metals in their bodies. Anyone for a prison detox program? Re: MSNBC-Family said he was autistic Don't you think more and more children on the spectrum that are becoming adults without any intervetions, services, support or help are going to become more of a "problem" for society? I don't think his autism (or Asperger's) caused the rampage, but maybe the relentless depression for not getting any help, along with the toxins causing other problems with his brain, etc. pushed him over the edge. I belive some people are evil, but some are just sick. Not sure where he was, but I think we're going to have more and more issues with young ASD adults. Then society will turn against our kids even more. >> you have got to be kidding.. now I can just see it all over the news > headlines... this is not good..

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I don't know if someone has already posted this but he was on an antidepressant I think it was Prozac. It sickens me they say he was autistic. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi everyone, I decided to give EOHarm another try. :-) Awhile ago there was some controversy regarding my existence here. I've read all the posts about our press release. I think there were enough news outlets to cover the " Cho was autistic " thing. Our method behind the madness in sending out the press release was to put the kaibosh on people like the woman who wrote in the Washington Post about kids with autism being VIOLENT. We were trying to stop it in its tracks. I don't know if it worked or not, but that was our intent. The guy clearly had many other comorbid dx's and autism was not to blame for killing 32 people. -- In EOHarm , " andrea52521991 " <mkeller@...> wrote: > > I just watched a story with the great aunt from S.
