This guy says

Quote:
Tony Atwood is the moron who needs treatment. This mental case still hasn't learned that autism is caused by thimerosal. Some expert.

This brain dead simpleton wants to treat the attitude of the whole world instead of simply removing the poison from these kids' brains. I want to challenge this Atwood jackass to a debate.
That message currently has a red -7.

I replied:
Quote:
Um, No. You are the moron. I have Autism, and I got it genetically. Autism doesn't come from vaccines. And the advertisement is terrible. Portraying spectrumers as evil monsters. It's terrible.


and he said:
Quote:
Autism is not genetic. Mercury kills lots of brain cells so some extremely stupid people with Asperger's believe that nonsense.


They had the NERVE to say that we are stupid! How dare they?!

I then replied
Quote:
Oh yes, I'm extremely stupid, *of course* that must be it! /sarcasm. I got it from my father. I did not get it from vaccines. I know people who are on the spectrum and have had NO Vaccines. So what happened there? The magic autism giving vaccine fairy slipped into their cribs when they were babies and gave them Autism?


This really really pisses me off! People can be so damn ignorant!

Oh, yes, I've had a few run ins with those folks on other boards. I had a couple of famous antivaxxers jump me on a couple of boards, and it backfired on them, because...

I'm one of those old farts who was autistic before vaccines. So, neener neener. And my dad. And my uncles. And before vaccines.

They are delusional, and nothing will change their minds. Keep up on your vaccines, and keep healthy, and keep advocating for us. Just don't let them bring you down. Gads, they are brain dead, but they aren't thinking. They are looking for something to blame, anything, because otherwise they would blame themselves for their kids' autism and that hurts too much. That's sad, because it becomes about them and not the kids. And really, it's not anyone's fault. And in most cases, it's not a bad thing. It's just different.

Hang in there.

Don't take it too hard; the guy you were arguing with is so far out there it's not worth getting upset over (it's not just that vaccines cause autism, but that the fact us part of a huge cover up, as the illuminati want to dumb down everyone to make a takeover easier).

Yeah, there are a lot of idiots out there in the world. But you just can't let them get you down. Just a couple of weeks ago someone on youtube was trying to tell me that aspergers wasn't an autism spectrum disorder, and that I wasn't really autistic because I had the profound abillity to type words (in complete sentences even!) with a keyboard. Because everyone knows that people with autism are just too stupid to use a computor, let alone have an actual opinion!

But, seriously, you'd be doing yourself a favor by just laughing at their stupidity and moving on. If we all let ourselves stay angry at every ignorant person we meet, we would all spend most of our lives in bitterness. :D

I used to get into MASSIVE flame wars with people over various topics, not necessarily autism-related. But now they just make me too damn angry, so I try to stay out of that kind of argument.

It's Erin Brockovich syndrome at it's best.

I'd say it's best to ignore it.

That is very funny. Who did that cartoon?

I remember a long time ago a columnist doing a satire on the moon landing, explaining that the lunar module really landed in his neighbour's sand box. From op-ed pieces to YouTube, the world doesn't change much.

Close, although there is not enough racism for that to be a convincing youtube commentary.
