MORLEY WAS RIGHT ? Peace and Love ROGER VALENTINE Aust 2008

"If you want to shut me up about it, I suggest you come and try to do so in person." no need for this deplorable act and display of what you think of yourself. you have plenty of hate groups in your own country to worry about; so quit picking fights with strangers and deal with your own problems; sounds like you have a nack for starting @#it but do you have what it takes to finish it? THIS CONVERSATION IS ENDED; SORRY; I DONT ARGUE WITH KIDS.

First off, what you call proper attention to autism is not wanted by autistic individuals like myself. In fact some of us cower in fear of such attention. Which brings me to my second point. I do not know where you get this mysterious correlation between feeling like one has been sentenced to a prison with no walls simply for being born different to those in power and a great life, but it would improve immensely if curebies like you would realise the extent of your ignorance and close your yaps.

First of all, this organisation would not be able to exist if it were not for people being as incredibly ignorant as Autism Speaks' supporters. Secondly, Abubakar Tariq Nadama died for Roy Eugene Kerry's opinion. Call me old-fashioned, but I do not find five year old children having their lives taken away from them for faulty, wrong-headed scientific quackeries in any way excusable. If you want to shut me up about it, I suggest you come and try to do so in person.

Well, for starters, I am not associated with this organization and if they are acting immoral; ADDRESS THEM HEAD ON-not strangers on the internet with O P I N I O N S. The screen name chosen has a hidden message; can you read it?

Aspie-you and another one. (RoZa)clearly have misunderstood my statement in its entirety. Americans are not 'babied' by their government and get their medical paid for. Medical insurance is privatized so the 'suffering' most AMERICANS know what I am speaking to is the beauracracy and politics that hinder proper attention to autism. So if you are done insulting me; please, sounds like you have a great life; I dare you to go live it.

By the way, Stupid, if you are qualified to diagnose people whom you have only had contact with on the Internet, then you must at the least have an MD and a PhD. in psychology. So you should be able to answer a couple of very simple questions. Where is your alma mater? What title, author, and year do we go looking for your thesis under?

The willfully dense person here is you. There is not a singular statement Nadezhda has made that is unsupported by verifiable fact. Autism Speaks makes its genocidal intentions clear on its own front page, and creates an atmosphere of fear for the autistic. By supporting them, you make very clear to those who take the time to actually educate themselves about the issues what kind of person you really are. And it is not the kind of person anyone on the spectrum wants speaking for them.

"I am ashamed of a society who get together and cheer for rockets to go into space but they can't or refuse to help parents and children suffering this condition." How exactly are we supposed to read things like the above, then, zeaghan? Because the only things I have genuinely suffered from in all my lifetime, ketoacidosis aside, is the profound level of ignorance still on display. You may not have intended it so, but the quoted statement is offensive to autistic adults and children.

Reading through the comments-she never said she was sad; but you are thing to behold. Really in all sincerity, I pity just you. You are confrontational with total strangers; twist their words and have you ever heard of Risperdal and Invega? You should ask your doctor about those meds; they could help you out. Then go ask someone who gives a damn. You enjoy insulting people and SHAME ON YOU for using A U T I S M as an excuse for your behaviour. U have manic paranoia schizophrenia!!!!not autism

Do us all a favor and stop breading; autism is not your condition or diagnosis-you are just WILLFULLY DENSE. And by the way, I am a polygloth and am studying calculus. You only study internet comments and act like a crazed boob when somebody's comment does not jive with your willfully dense way of thinking.

Just FYI; I was not the youtube user trying to advocate a cure. Reading and Comprehension is not an autistic problem.

I still reject the whole "it is genetic" bit. I do so because of the raindance gambit. Every time it rains when you go out in the open and dance around banging your sticks, you do not prove it rains when you do that. But if you do that and it does not rain, hey, you prove it does not work. (Still with me?) I do not have a single autistic relative. I am literally the only autistic person who can be linked to me genetically. Hence, I reject the gene theory.

"My child has an educated, highly intelligent, well spoken kind of mom who is loving and working tirelessly to advocate better education for him." Oh, if only... What you are really advocating is exclusion and genocide. You are sending a message to your son every time you tell people he wants a cure without asking him for his say in the matter. You are telling him very definitively that you do not want him, and only love him for a presumed ability to conform to some expectation. Good job.

So apart from advocating the genocide of anyone who has commonality with him, rejecting him on the basis of what he is, and attempting to lie about people with commonality to him who are trying to come to his aid, what reason does your child have to love you? People like my parents live with the answer to that question every day now. They at least have the excuse that they were never given a chance to know any better. Do not make their mistake - you will not have such excuses.

By the way, I've dyslexia and epilepsy as well as Asperger's and I'm famous & successful. Do you want to cure THAT? I'd be nowhere in life without my Autism. It is a gift from God - THANK YOU, GOD! Jesus was different, too and look what the 'society' did to him. You lot want a cure? Fine: cure your ignorance and envy! And get on with life, stop moaning. Autistic kids grow up to be strong 'cause of the sh*t we have to put up with all our lives. But no more, not once they grow up! Change yourself

Are you talking to me, USHUTUPSTUPID? Your name alone says it all! Just look at you, lot!! You feel THREATENED by my intellect? English is my second language, you know. I bet you can't speak Russian or chinese or Hebrew. You lot pretend you care about Autistic children (who by the way are not cute animals, you know - we grow up to be autistic adults, straight-talking, no bullshit people) That's eaxctly what happens in the real world: Autistics get bullied! Your child is going through the same

have you tried walking in your child's shoes to see what THEY ARE GOING THROUGH? Or is it all you about you, the 'poor Mom's? Are you inconvenienced by Autistic children? Roza, Autistic and proud and a great (mon-moaning) Mom to an Autistic child

I've never emailed you - you're lying! you have a problem? don't pass it on to others. Autistic people have enough on their plate at it is.

well then stop saying you're SAD that he has Autism. You should be grateful you have a child at all, many women can't conceive! And some even lose their children which is a tragedy. I'm sick of people making themselves out to be some kind of martyrs because their Autistic child is suffering - that's right - THEIR CHILD! NOT THEM! We Autistics suffer from self-centered, ignorant bullies among the 'normals'. Or from patronising. And when we try to speak how we really feel - you shut us up!

That one was for you ROZA! My fellow poet. Just a fellow peer keeping you on your toes. *Smile* someone loves you enough to keep this ridiculous thread going. You hate me why? My kid hates me, why? Stop emailing me please.

The proper spelling is E X A C T L Y. Just FYI.

"I'm an award-winning screenwriter (Channel 4) Director, published poet & journalist, visual artist and composer with Asperger's syndrome. I'm also a Mother of a child on the Autistic spectrum and everything I do is inspired by my ultimate goal to better lives of people on the Autistic spectrum." ACT LIKE IT, LADY-don't insult my mom-she loves me.

Let me get this understood. You have a child and you are acting like this on the internet? Careful who you feel sorry for because that person to feel sorry for could be YOU.
