FAIR Autism Media Interview with Will and Lyn Redwood

[katydig]

I'd vote for Will for president!!!!!

[pullingthewool]

Apsies, let go already. They are NOT talking about you. These children couldn't talk... people with Aspergers can. Different condition altogether! Stop already. You are missing the social cues and jumping on the band wagon. The CDC is never going to help until the number of vaccine injured is 1 in 10... maybe not even then.

[BansheeFriend]

I know him, he's 15 now and I didnt even know he had autism until i saw this, that's how much he's improved.

[twels1]

Parents are saying Green our vaccines.

Facts:

1983: Autism rate 1 in 10,000

Vac. sched. 10 shots

2008: Autism rate in boys 1 in 70

Vac. sched. 36

My sons last words after his shots:

"My name is Tanner. My name is Tanner."

Show me any other campaign for disinformation. Remove the Mercury, Alum., formaldehyde, ether, antifreeze. Reevaluate the sched. What was the death rate from these deadly diseases in 1983 that we had to add 26 shots? All we need is therapy, respite, and recovery.

[ralpheadsuz]

"Normal" :PPPPP who wants to be normal??? oh yea! let's judge our children based on their standardized test scores. grrrr. Glad I'm out of the academic profession.

[roncorbin]

Its funny, we refer to individuals with autism as "They" wow... It is now dawning on me. That, kind of sucks..

[iluvnickjonas9933]

o yea and autism dont got a look so shut ur mouth aspie182 u obviously no nothing about autism cuz everything ur saying is wrong

[aspie182]

Right. I know nothing about autism. I'll tell you what, stupidnick9933, go look up the names Anthony Attwood and Isabelle Hénault. They are two of the autism specialists I speak with more frequently than you knowingly look at an autistic human being in the flesh. When you get an eyeful of how many letters next to their name, consider that with few exceptions, they are in agreement with everything I have been saying in my videos (and about ones like these).

[iluvnickjonas9933]

ok haters just stop hatin cuz this kids a lot cooler then u and deep down in side u kno it so just shut ya mouth cuz no one really cares wut u think these kids with problems r bomb...

[aspie182]

I'll tell you what. You go tell a Vietnam veteran that you know more about PTSD than they do. If you come back with all your body parts still intact, I will delete all my videos.

[aspie182]

"It wasn't until he was five years old that we realised that Will was actually suffering from mercury toxicity"... Oh yeah, right... hate to tell you this, Lyn, but mercury-related brain damage is permanent and very different from any PDD. Not to mention that your son's appearance is utterly inconsistent with mercury toxicity. Please stop promoting lies like this, you make my world darker by doing it.

[minmotstand]

This shows you don't know about mercury toxicity.

Why don't you read about it, the US govt has mercury toxicity profiles online at the CDC website and others.

Mercury related brain damage isn't permanent and the brain can heal itself once you remove the source of exposure and excrete this toxic heavily metal out of your system.

If your child is exposed to lead from eating paint chips, you go to the hospital and they perform chelation to get the heavy metal out of their body.

[aspie182]

1) I know a theory without credibility when I see one. I am looking at one every time I watch this stupid video.

2) If the CDC promotes the curebie agenda, then the CDC is no longer useful to anyone in the world, simple as that.

3) Nice strawman. Autism is nothing like lead poisoning. But apparently the words of real people with autism are insufficient to make you understand that little fact.

[angielembo]

I agree with the last comment. But, the name scares me!

[ellatb]

This boy is not sick . He had some problems when he was younger and maybe has some now but it's just not right to label someone as being "not normal" , on some kind of a "spectrum" and stuff. I know cause I've been there

[roncorbin]

I agree with you, I DO NOT use the phrase "When he was normal" with our son. I mean, who am I to say what is and what is not "normal"? He is my son, I love him, and he is the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

[minmotstand]

Autism isn't a childhood phase.

If you believe this, you don't know autism and you haven't been around the children like I have.

Why don't you do the nominal thing and READ about autism?

[aspie182]

Pardon me, min, but people who have devoted their lives to studying autism such as Tony Attwood believe you are full of crap. Do not assume people have not studied the problem just because they do not parrot your thoughtless words.

[staciejung]

It isn't fair that the Aspies are painting all autistic people with one broad brush. You can communicate, be successful, marry. Not everyone on the spectrum can. There are children who cannot process language and when they cannot, they suffer, they scream, they cry, they are not happy. I've seen it in my daughter. Being different is fine as long as you are still able to function in the human world. If you cannot, life can be very painful. You may not want to be "fixed," but a child in pain does.

[666sigma]

The reason that it is a spectrum is that there are 100+ genes involved. It is not one disorder or disability. I agree. It is unfair to lump all of these LD's into one disorder.

I don't think Asperger's is the same as autism. In many cases, it is more of a personality type. In some cases, it is an excuse for being an asshole. It is clear that many Aspies are not tolerant of opposing views.

[666sigma]

It is beyond my level of understanding how the "autismdiva" could find fault with Lyn Redwood. It looks to me as though she is a proud, responsible and loving parent. This sends a great message to parents that their is hope that their children can function in the "NT" world.

[aspie182]

It is beyond your level of understanding because you have no idea what it feels like to be treated as a second-class human being simply for being born different to those in power. Autismdiva finds fault with Lyn Redwood for the same reason I do. Her words make it clear she views her autistic child as a broken normie rather than an autistic human being.

[666sigma]

So how is helping your child to communicate "fixing a broken normie"? I sure as hell dn't see it in this viceo. How is it any different than teaching your child math or to play baseball?

We are all different. Everyone has stengths and weaknesses. However, communication is a core skill set that everyone needs to acquire to function in this world.
