I am not saying we should cure autism (I know the connotation you place on that concept) for it is impossible. Rather, we should prevent its spread to our children and their children. Those who have it should refrain from having children, and in fact sterilize themselves. It is the only moral thing to do.
Please do not accuse me of genocide, for that is not what I advocate.


I think the whole human race needs to stop having kids, us no more than the next group though.

I want to turn us into a race of non-sex-crazed centennials (or even older). Evolution has a blind-spot for middle- and old-age illnesses which eventually kill us. We must BREED IT OUT!

Now who's with me?!

:D :D :D


I don't know, personally I think we should really work on breeding out flatulence first.

But what will males aged from 0-130 have to laugh at if we do that?!

Right. Disease. Disease it ain't. Why do you stereotype us as diseased when we are perfectly healthy! Is Spina Bifida a disease? Is Downs a disease? No. You pride yourself on genetics when this plays a role. There is no germ that can do this. Do the research mate, before you stereotype us with bulls*** like this.

Natural Domination? Are you saying we are not human? Are you saying we are not sentient beings? Whoa no. We are VERY aware of how different we are. We are ACUTELY aware of this. This is why WP is here. We know we are different. We are the same as you. No lesser, perhaps GREATER than you. Ever heard of Albert Einstein? Should we forget the theory of relativity just because, in your opinion, he was a "less than human?"

Not saying we should cure autism? Not saying genocide? "You diseased scum should sterilise yourselves" is not curing or promoting genocide? Right. That doesn't make sense. If you're so afraid of us, why the hell are you here with your neo-nazi opinions on us. You are being overly self rightous here, and it's p***ing me off. Moral? You're the unmoral one here.


i welcome anyone who says that i have a disease. i'll f**k them up, i've already done it a few times, to a few people who were so thick headed that they thought they could cure me through discipline and pain.

I think, perhaps, that "Iceman" is a misleading nickname for you too choose my man, but hey, keep up the good fight.

Well, if he's really 'put someone on ice' for saying that maybe not...

Weyoun, I was going to ask you if you were a neo-Nazi. But of course other people have brought up the term Nazi already. If you tell me you're not a neo-Nazi I'll still have difficulty believing you, especially as Hitler had certain groups of people castrated.


Actually those eugenic ideas including sterilization predate Nazi Germany and were widespread in America for instance. (The prejudices behind them remain virtually untouched actually despite the sterilization rate being much lower now.) Nazi Germany was just one of the few places to take it to the extreme of organized direct mass murder.

I have to disagree with you here, Soma. Even though you are aware of how different you are in some ways, there is a lot you aren't aware of. Additionally, how many autistics post on the internet compared with how many dx'd autistics there actually are? WP is just a small slice of the pie, a tiny representation of the whole. There are autistics who aren't acutely aware of their differences. Indeed, there are those who aren't aware that they are different at all. It is a very abstract concept, except for the hard concrete differences such as physical appearance. Such an awareness is a curse, not a gift. As Yoda wisely stated, once you start down the dark path of awareness, forever will it dominate your destiny.

Guys, if this oke bandished about his opinion of Aspies in a public place, HE'd be the one on neurological meds. The internet is just a safe place for the psychotics to manifest.

Poor undiagnosed and untreated mentally ill individual!

Lol Postperson. What is it I've said about giving me attention? Having my name smaller makes not an iota of difference to me. That you make a point of it only makes my ego stronger. You might take this statement to mean that I am only trying to get you to stop because it does affect me, but you would be mistaken. Even so, there's no chance you would stop because from your point of view, it's probable that it does affect me negatively. Given what I have just said, you might wonder what my purpose of pointing it out is. But I'm sure that, if you look at it from different angles, you will find a purpose. Indeed, you can find multiple purposes that work in my favor.
It would be interesting to know if indeed, you can find ways how this post works to my benefit. I hope you can satisfy my curiosity to prove that an expert with a degree is capable of finding those purposes.
