I saw this movie in full last night. It's not a 'victim' movie. It's OK. Not perfect, but OK. It's a careful treatment, which has been referenced through consultation with ASAN members. It really does its best, and the ending is satisfying to everyone. It's worth watching. A bit OTT at times, but no...

The blog's been deleted - which means that it's not possible to confirm or discuss any claims made about it. It was deleted after I copied and pasted it to Ari Ne'eman. As I did, in that case, to many others. The defamation doesn't just go away because it's now been deleted. It remains. That's the ...

[ I have no idea what Barbara's talking about when she mentions "threats of violence or stalking", unless she considers taking signatures at his conferences to be "stalking" - This has been an entirely civil campaign. I actually managed to talk to Tony personally about the issue, and it was a discu...

I think Jellibean has left the building My name, and my position, have been defamed in this thread. So, just so that everyone is totally clear and can make their own minds...

realpolitik or moral cowardice? Either way, Attwood's time of being everyone's best friend is over. Harry, we worked together very well, and perfectly in tune, on the 'autism monster' campaign in the UK against the demonisation of a child with AS on television campaign by Action for Children.
