The Great 'NeuroDiversity' Swindle

Post Reply New Topic

Why do those who don't want to be cured behave as if they have the right to stop those who do want to, from seeking a cure ?

Because that's exactly what they're doing.

I say live and let live.
Let those who want prenatal screening to avoid having NT children have it.
Allow those who choose to screen out Autism have their choice.

At the end of the day, there'll still be more than enough people who choose to have Autistic children.

But what gives them the right to deny those who don't want them, the option not to have Autistic children ?

In that way, Autism will survive on any merits it may have - rather than by a program of actively enforced denial.

I guess the discussion is about designer-babies then, personally I think it's a very dangerous idea. I don't know how many, but surely alot of people would go for flavour-of-the-year kids, then what would happen to discrimination of people who are not like the norm? And I believe diversity is a very important thing for mankind to work at all.(diversity in the wider context, not just autism)

Because of live and let live.

Cure is a fraud, Neurology cannot be changed.

Cure then claims that through screening DNA Autism can be eradicated.

At least $100 Million have been spent, with no results.

There are several versions of the cure fraud, they all target monies that should be spent on Autistic people, and redirect them to fund raising saleries of NT promoters.

Their main tactic is slander, they produce a false impression of the reality of Autism.

They ignore adult outcomes, and that Autism comes in degrees, affects 10% of the population, and has a long history of being very productive in the arts and sciences.

Cure makes impossible claims for science, altering DNA is science fiction.

Prenatal screening for Autism is also fraud, science fiction, it is not a single gene.

It is not through fraud that the Human Genome is being studied, Billions a year are being spent on real science. Through ethical review most leading research would not accept money from frauds who are exploiting a group they are not members of, and want to exterminate.

Like attracts, so frauds fund frauds in research, such as Metals, Vaccines, being the cause.

Frauds for a Cure are doing nothing but paying themselves well. Along the way they spout slander, lie about science, and gather the very limited funds that should be spent on the lives of real people, to fund some science fiction view of a future, Autism eradicated, and their beach house paid for.

I am against the Cure Fraud for it lies about Science. It lies about Autism. It lies about it's motives and goals.

My largest objection is the propaganda machine run for fund raising uses up the very limited money that could be applied to making the lives of the autistic much better.

Autism Speaks has been spending $10,000,000 a year on themselves. They are a very small group living large on the exploitation of millions of autistic people.

They have no Science, no Cure, only employment through Fraud.

Their existance promotes other frauds, Chelation, driving out Demons, and their propaganda leads to the mistreatment of Autistic people.

Now, if you have some Science that can withstand peer review, please post it.

ThisIsNotMyRealName:

Would you screen your baby for autism? Would you marry an aspie?
If they could screen the baby they wouldn't know if the baby is high functioning and perhaps would be born a genius or if the child would be "ret*d".

Even if you had your "perfect" baby, things can always go wrong later. Life is full of surprises.

Not only are the two types of fundings mutually exclusive, but the "cure" research will never reach any results without accepting the reality of ASCs, which is that there is a personality aspect that many Autistic people call neurodiversity. The only thing the cure money can lead to in absense of real understanding are prenatal tests, which will lead to Autistic genocide. You'd better face this reality. The current cure research will not lead anywhere since it is misguided and builds on false premises.

Additionally, there is absolutely no support for any increase in Autism, on the contrary, according to Aspie-quiz data, the Autistic personality-type seems to decrease about 1% per year. Very soon the diagnostic ratio will hit the "roof" because there is no more people to diagnose, unless psychiatry broadens critieria even more and includes the broader autism phenotype as well. Therefore, a cure today will not prevent anything in the future, and the best "cure" is understanding, especially from the point of view of society and the costs of diagnosis.
