Yes it was my idea of a pril Fools day joke. Well I thought it was funny. :lol:

Considering the crazy ideas Autism Speaks spoke of last week on Larry King Live plus they repeated the show last night I thought a lot of people would think it a funny jab at the evil Autism Speaks woman. She insists her son must be cured and her treatments are enough to make a normal person go crazy anyway.

Sorry if I upset anyone. It seemed obvious to me you can not transfer enzymes by blood transfusion. I thought nobody here wanted to be cured anyway!?

Werbert I could arrange you a meeting with the shaman I see if you would like.

I did alter Bob Wright's (Autism Speaks founder) wikipedia entry. My changes only lasted 28 minutes before someone re-edited my additions of truth out.

Last year, a site I frequently visited changed and devoted their entire site to llamas. People were taking them seriously too.

And don't discount this story too quickly. Eventually, some high ranking Autism Speaks rep. is going to see this and start testing for enzyme tranfusions. While it won't get them anywhere, it'll be fun to hear about.

I read it. My guess the profane language was detected in it and the page was restored by the system and not by a human to the last known edit.

I don't think there was any profane language in my revision. When I mentioned anatomy and anatomical functions I always used the technical terms. Although it still wasn't in very good taste. :roll:

But that would allow the demons in the webcam to steal my soul.

Yes. But only if you do a good dance. The proof is in the pudding and if it don't rain you don't get your cure!

I thought I read some of your entry last night when I checked out Wiki. Did you put in the part about the woman killing her child after seeing the video of the woman that said she wanted to kill her autie?

I thought Autism Speaks was founded by a woman? The evil witch was on Larry King last night, actually it was a rerun, but she claimed to be the high priestess of the curebie tribe.

I'm actually getting a chance in a few weeks to address a room of doctors and nurses about Aspergers so I am looking forward to setting a few people straight that may be badly misinformed by people such as the Autism Speaks dictator.

Which Autism Speaks sh*t are you referring to? Since everything they speak is sh*t please be more specific. If you were referring to the transfusions it was one of many April Fools jokes on WP. If you are asking about the Wikipedia ahem entries the other guy did that is for real.

She didn't have a wikipedia entry. She's the VP of Autism Speaks. She was my first intended target but I settled for attacking the founder.

I don't mind the idea of a cure... I mind said cure being compulsary.
