you would have never thought

Well I suppose we are speaking of two different kinds of things. I'm more focused on the BIG Picture to mold the kind of respectful mentality toward individuals with autism and otherwise developmental disabilities in society. You yourself are not a leader of an advocacy group representing others. However some may think calling others ignorant is a common practice of individuals with developmental related disabilities and then be more mean or be mean when they before were the nice ones. The key is to make the rude already included people unpopular that treat us poorly because of social pressure from people that have been properly educated as to the social and fiscal issues in context.

As I said a better choice of words will have better outcomes. It's the same as calling someone dumb or stupid. Instead enlighten them. There are some people that deserve to be called a name like ignorant because they are mean. However when I've seen it used it's created or has the potential to create hard feelings.

It has very similar emotional receptive qualities. Once you define someone verbally as ignorant your essentially calling them a name. To be better received use more neutral terminologies. I simply understand this to be a subjective fact social psychologically in public relations.

Hopefully things will work out for you.

i would say the women i was chating with was very sapportive of adults with autism.i must say i dont pend much time on autism speaks or the asan but i find the steriotypes about both to be false.i would agree with ci about AS being geared towards children and its natural to want to cure a child.there is a certain truth about the asan being elitest but you must remember the nature of the work ari does demands high functioningness and people naturaly understand there experiences the best.the answer is not bashing the asan but getting some people with more neurdiverse experiences in the asan to consult

ASAN needs more then neurodiverse it needs a management and strategic philosophical transplant. It's how they get attention is what the problem is and combining issues. Not so much the other things which seem fine. . Their tact has been to attempt to alienate and force views instead of presenting alternative ways to see things. Watch how I do it in the coming months. I will post letters to organizations about neurodiversity but with a vastly different style. Neurodiversity is not an enemy of treatment rights but however some that use neurodiversity to force views make an enemy out of neurodiversity.

That can go two ways. When I was growing up I knew there was something wrong even though I was not entirely aware of it but others were. Sensory integration, changes and the ability to self-integrate like peers. Saying it is wrong to want a cure is just as damaging if not more damaging because it makes it not ok to want to correct what makes for these difficulties. Accommodations and understanding only go so far. Yet demonizing potential scientific understanding advancements and remedies is just evading fundamental human rights.

my reference to children went more to why autism speaks is so parent dominated in an atempt to un demonize autism speaks.autism speaks is parent dominated and its only natural for parents to want to cure a or any or there children.im not sugesting children shouldnt have dignaty.bridging to gap between asan and AS Is important.no other disability movement is so divided as autism
