Ginger. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to translate this into English. I hope your important message will reach many more people, for the sake of those who never got shown: "You are precious the way you are."

[GingerAutie]

Thank you! :)

A lot of friends helped me to translate it and to stay through this and I want to thank everyone here, who supported me!

Es tut mir leid: ich kann auf Deutsch, aber nicht so gut dass ich alles verstehen kann. Haben Sie vielleicht dies auf Englisch getippt oder? Oder können Sie kurz auf Englisch erklären? (Ich wusste nicht, ob ich Sie siezen sollte. Tut mir leid, wenn ich nicht sollte.)

I'll stop 'perseverating' on this soon. I just wanted to say thank you for putting these videos up. It is important to hear the voice of those who have been through such a torture in the name of "fixing" them. It needs to be known that not only did it not help, it hurt. Here in USA, there's not much heard against 'curing' autism. The major organizations do not listen to adult autistics. This needs to change.

[ralpheadsuz]

sorry I was trying to be sarcastic... not the best idea when speaking to an Aspie in a foreign (to me) language. What I meant was, I think the Theory was that autism was a disconnection that could be "corrected" by force, when neither is likely true. If a child has withdrawn from human contact, for whatever reason, forcing it upon them, ist bloed!

[GingerAutie]

I was trying to be sarcastic too. There is no other way to see the wholse "thing"... Of course not!

[ralpheadsuz]

Me again! Ich versuche zu verstehen. Dieses "Therapie" war dich angetan, als du jung warst. Du koenntest damals kaum sprechen. Jetzt ist Umarmen usw. nochschwer fuer dich, eben wenn es von eine Freunde kommt. Also, es scheint die sogenannt Bindungsstörung nicht zu helfen (as we say here, duh)

[GingerAutie]

I am sorry, but I don't understand what you mean, but how it is supposed zo help it?

Ich weiß nicht, ob ich eine Bindungsstörung habe. Maybe I am just traumatised because of the "holding therapy".

[GingerAutie]

But you are right, this kind of "therapy" was made with me, because I didn't talk as a child.

(sorry Ginger, I'll keep trying if you will) For English speakers, Holding therapy: an autistic perspective

by Claire Sainsbury is available at nas dot org dot uk

[ralpheadsuz]

(For English speaking) It is often pointed out that holding therapy is based on the completely false theory that autism results from a failure of mother-child bonding. What is less often noticed is that it also relies on a completely false and dangerous theory of autism itself: that the person is deliberately choosing to reject others and can be forced to be normal.

[GingerAutie]

Thank you for your explenation! :)
