It was admitted by some people behind the documentary that several aspects of it were fixed to make it look worse than it really was.
Also, one person in the video (Alison Singer) has not been associated with Autism Speaks for quite a while and is on our side. |

I'll just say I personally want nothing to do with any "actions" you may take against him.
I hate censorship; you all doing what you're doing is equal to censorship in my opinion. |

| Yes, they were taking advice from a woman who shows the same level of competency in real life as she showed on Singled Out. May I remind you these were the same geniuses that praised Dustin Hoffman for his "amazingly accurate" portrayal of Autism in Rain Man....even after he studied a kid for two w... |

| Tomorrow at Dover Speedway, the empire strikes back. The Wright-led scam artists are sponsoring the Dover 400 NASCAR race. Oddly enough, there is no traffic in the typical Autism Spectrum related blogs planning protests about this event. Quick, we need to signal Ari. I personally haven't watched th... |

| We should be more aggressive against this kind of thing. I won't go into all the drivel we sent back and forth but this is how he concluded his last email. It really shows who he is. Finally, I'm a writer and I get to use words the way I want to. That's the nice thing about words: no one owns them.... |

| I wouldn't consider them emo. I consider Taking Back Sunday emo. Lacey doesn't like to label Flyleaf as a Christian band though so I agree with you there. Actually, true emo would be bands such as Rites of Spring and Fugazi. Taking Back Sunday (and this goes for other bands popularly labeled as "em... |

| Actually, that's not the old Hub. Quite a few blogs are missing, and some extra ones have been added. Including frigging Autism Speaks, and a certain autism hate site. As far as I can tell, this is probably a knockoff or perhaps even plagiarized site. It is. A knockoff, that is, and not even a well... |

| The illegals are struggling to survive and can't do anything about it, I'm afraid. I agree that we need tighter control, but the new law is a violation of basic human rights. I disagree. Non-citizens have no fundamental right to be in the country. Uh, there are quite a lot of non-citizens of the US... |

There's still more work here than there is there. The illegals are struggling to survive and can't do anything about it, I'm afraid. I agree t... |

And why some of you cant see a doctor?
Because it's too expensive and time consuming. |

| if you go by the fda and clinical trials, all the artificial sweeteners are suspect except sucralose. Unfortunately that kind isn't typically used in diet sodas. Sucralose is used in Diet Rite and some other brands. Personally I avoid sucralose though; it's really awful stuff. Technically as it's m... |
