Attwood makes public statement in response to petition

Post Reply New Topic

Signed. I have one more question. Will I get a reply back as to how it goes?

Probably not from the petition, but I'll be keeping everyone updated on what's happening from my site (http://www.spectrumites.com/), and I can keep posting here whenever anything happens, too...

Thanks EvilZak. I'm not a member of your website and I found that I can't read the topic where the petition is spoken about.

That would be right - when we're organizing campaigns, we tend to do it in the members-only "Campaigns and Initiatives" section so we can't be pre-empted by people stumbling across the details in Google.

For those who are members, or are interested in joining, this is the thread we're talking about: http://www.spectrumites.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=897

There's a woman on YouTube who goes on about this "Cassandra disorder" or whatever it is, and it seems rather hokey. There's a growing amount of divorcee NT women who seem to have a huge grudge against their AS husbands. Though their grudges may be warranted, it seems that there bad experiences have painted a particular brush over everyone with AS for them; and they seem to be on a crusade to warn other women of the "dangers" of getting involved with an Aspie. Just check out YouTube or blogs and such where these women voice their opinions.

I've read through some of the threads in the Delphi forum called ASpartners last night. I'm still reeling. For a group of people who claim aspies have no empathy, they certainly have little to zilch empathy themselves. Why the hell can't these women even give a little understanding and support to the AS partners/spouses? I was actually thinking about going on dating sites myself recently but I don't know how well things will go in the long run if they google Asperger's find some of the crap they talk about there.

Before we get off the topic though, EvilZak can you please continue posting here if there are any updates on the campaign. I would like to know how it goes.

Will do! May have some news regarding ASPIA soon...

I'm glad he issued a statement and I believe what he's saying about trying to educate FAAS people.

I signed the petition and I feel relieved by his response.
