| I don't see this thread as trolling. Maybe some of the other things the OP has written are, I wouldn't know. This reminds me of a post here about why Autism IS a disability, but we should be proud of it. The issue it raises for me is that if you're going to be so defensive about Autism being classe... |

| elan_i Do you have a purpose other than p***ing on people? If you want to keep picking on us, I'd suggest, that you leave. Some comments by 'Inventor' in his last post above. The main danger we face is from a small group of paracites, with Cure Autism Curebie feeding frenzies. Medicine and Psycholo... |

| Drat! I thought the post was 'assination of cure disciples', who like many disciples, keep ramming their opinions down people's throats. Now that might have neen a fun topic! I've noted your consistent tendency to, as I've commented before about you, go way off-topic and use other people's threads ... |

| They said that the Internet and keyboard were to Autistics like the hearing aid to the hearing impaired. That for the first time we can communicate, and the non-verbal are being heard. We're not being heard, but we think we're being heard. In my view. Maybe the Internet is an ingenious pacifier. It... |

| I think, however, that you are trying to spread dislike and fear of people who don't believe in a cure, rather than (for all your protestations of complete logic) behaving logically. It's important to provide the quotes of what I wrote, on which you are basing your statements, and also, your interp... |

Sadly, in times past people were thrown into mental institutions and put on brain-damaging anti-psychotic medications even though there was nothing wrong with them beca... |

I have no illness. I've cured myself in this way." "I accept I have Aspergers, but it is not a medical ill... |
