| It surprises me that in this supposedly brutally utilitarian world, the often derided General Public seem to place more value on a person's qualities as a human being than their physical attractiveness or intellectual capabilities (cf Susan Doyle). The enemy to me would seem to be those that promote... |

[b]sensationalistic pseudo-journalism[/b] Well it's actually [b]sensationalistic tabloid-journalism[/b], there's really no pseudo about it and it is so, because there's a very large market for news chopped-up and served in bite-sized pieces.... |

| No apologies necessary. I was taking Michael Fitzgerald's word on George Orwell. I've read just about everything Orwell wrote and I have to say, none of it seems particularly Autistic... Six months is cool too... :-) What do you reckon about Beethoven though? I read one Biography and it just screame... |

| The debate must not be allowed to go to the other extreme of claiming there aren't problems that need addressing in NT/AS relationships. But these must be discussed and dealt with in a holistic and inclusive way. And the vulnerability of Autistic men and [b]WOMEN[/b] in relationships, must also be r... |

"I"m just gonna blithely diagnose her as being a professional sociopath with an axe to grind"
lmao!
I think you've made a good choice of reading material. And I think that the fact that we attract sociopaths, deserves more recognition.... |

| I think the case for not extraditing McKinnon is quite strong enough without reference to Asperger's. I mean even the Daily Mail has come out in his favour. As for the foundations of ASAN's Attwood campaign, they are sound and well documented on several websites. ASAN isn't Ari and Ari isn't ASAN. I... |

Boston_ma,
Well all in all, we've a fine set of facts with which to work... However, I don't think any of them are a real knockout blow. Until the people like Aston are subject to statutory regulation, all we can do is publicize the details of her practice. |

| There's quite a lot more about Maxine that needs exposing. She has no clinical qualifications AT ALL! All her education has been academic. She offers a "Aspergers Assessment" which has fooled several people into thinking they've been diagnosed with AS. And charges many, many hundreds of pounds for t... |
