I forget just what - wasn't paying it much attention at the time but I'll see if I can see if that was indeed the case and what the video may have been. Of course that he exists and is autistic still won't settle for you that he wrote it ........ *****Actually, it would help a lot if I could see a video of him saying anything at all, not just the words from these posts. My mind isn't closed on the subject, and I could be convinced by seeing the video, if you can find it. my own thoughts when I read it were along the lines of 'and they call into question facilitator influence in FC communication.... how is this influence (and the influence is obvious) any different? " *****I think the only way he could have " wrote " it is if it was dictated to him. ;-) regardless of who wrote it (and whoever it was sent it to the president last week and lives in Dilliner , PA according to http://yahoo.capwiz.com/y/bio/userletter/?letter_id=88961991 & content_ dir=congres\sorg *****Okay, *somebody* sent it to the President, (although not necessarily the person who wrote it), and that would tend to lend it some credence, because you would think that no one would have the nerve to send a hoax letter to him, but people who *really believe* in the Truth of their message can justify anything in their minds to further their cause. On the other hand, it seems likely that the person who actually wrote it would be the one to send it to the Prez, because why would some unre- lated person send it, someone who just got it in an email and sent it on, thereby kinda committing plagiarism? (Unless it was someone else from the organization passing on a piece of DAN propaganda.) I note that the final two paragraphs in the letter to the President weren't in the text you originally sent, and ARE written by a parent, as she refers to her son. They seem to be written from the same mentality, along the lines of DAN, but that isn't enough to convince me, let alone , that they were written by the selfsame person. wouldn't it be nice to counter it with a bunch of " My Name Is Autism Too " articles to post around? *****Yes, we have some excellent writers here, who could really do the subject up right, and also put their time to better use than trying to insult me. (Hold all comments on that until my next post, please.) Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty well documented that the President doesn't actually read (cue cards excepted). Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
