Autism: Marty Murphy "House Autistic" Part 1

[thechoccybiccy]

This is a fantastic video. I totally understand the analogy with slavery. Anybody in this world who is of low status (and we are all lower status excluding the small handful of elite) and can not or will not hide behind the herd is met with constant belittling, discrimination, bullying and ignorance. Is there any wonder a condition in which telling the truth and being true to oneself is pathological is considered such a threat? The black movement is an inspiration for all. We shall overcome!

[angiepohja]

I think your comparison of autistics to slaves is a bit extreme. My 11 year old son is also autistic. Of course, we live in Finland where social services truly exist. My son, who is verbal, has been taught sign language in school and receives other thearpies as well, including horseback riding lessons. Instead of lashing out at Marty Murphy perhaps you better use your energies confronting your governement. Godd time for it now, as it is an election year.

Btw, I am also a Yankee.

Are YOU Autism or are you a person who HAS Autism? I think people with Autism think "finding a cure" and "being cured" is that they think they'd be a different person if their Autism was taken away. It isn't your personality or your soul that would be taken away. I'd be the painful shyness, the meltdowns, the tactile issues, etc. So the good things would be left in place and the painful things would be taken away. If your Autism was taken away, you'd still be you.

Definition: Autism is a Pervasive Developmental Difference

Definition: Pervasive means thoroughly penetrating or permeating.

[Spydyee]

How does one remove something that is thoroughly penetrating or permeating. Autism is more than the social skills issues or the communication issues. Autism is how I categorize and process information. The brain science is fully supportive of this point. Larger brain hemispheres, improper sized corpus callosum to support the larger hemispheres, and more compacted and reduced numbers of neuron in the Amygdala region of the brain.

[KuraiGaka2]

Social development and general interaction is what helps build your personality! What if the lack of it helped you to be the person that you currently are? It's also very immature to say "All the bad things will go away but the good things will stay if you got rid of your autism"! EVERYONE has something painful about their lives but they still live on. If there was no pain, what would be the point of life? I know this is just your opinion but that is my opinion.

[jeeptogo]

I am not understanding this. From the last few comments. Autistic Pride, do you think people can "diagnose" their own autism and become a member of the autistic community just because they want to be? Thanks

[Greyandblackpuppy]

You post your real name and address and your offical diagnosis and doctors name and I will post mine.

My interest in the truth and if you have not heard Marty then you have no right to slander her.

[AutisticPride]

The whole notion of official diagnoses is bullshit. We as a community cannot allow so called professionals define who we are. If you feel that you are autistic then you are part of this community. This is a community by choice not a community designated by professionals for professionals

[Spydyee]

You want real names and diagnoses I'll give you one.

Athena Whittaker Blakely Autism Spectrum Disorder consistent with Asperger's Syndrome Diagnosis by Dr. Steve Love Asheville Office Division TEACCH University of North Carolina.

[Spydyee]

What is your diagnosis greyandblackpuppy?

[Greyandblackpuppy]

I am sure this will be taken off again but Ensrifraff, for you to call someone scum is laughable. Have you heard her talk? I doubt it or you would not make such blanket statments.

[AutisticPride]

No commement was "taken off". 3 weeks ago you used the f-word. I emailed for you to submit a comment that used f-word or F* etc. You did not comply. For the Record, I think Ensrifraff is cool ! great videos.

[christschool]

This person called greyandblackpuppy, who claimed they were autistic at one point, but didn't put up when I challenged her, seems to have more than a passing interest in Marty Murphy. Makes me wonder who this person really is.

[monicasuetannehill]

My son is loved, he cries often, he is isolated and lonely, he is beautiful and sweet and friendly, Marty Murphy is a HERO.

[ensrifraff]

Marty Murphy is scum.

[ted082905]

sorry, it don't get it.

[tealwolf150]

Wow this no only offends me it annoys me. yes I am autistic but I just find people trying to define me annoying. I also find autism pride offenceive. I do not embrace it nor discard it, it is just there and that is where I shall leave it

[KuraiGaka2]

Thats a good attitude to have. You don't make a religeon out of it nor a disease. However, some people don't know that there is such a thing as a positive side and having these videos helps others to see it from a different light.

[Spydyee]

It is not about autistic pride but about facilitating the changes our children need. Example: It has taken me a full year to get it into the heads of the NT teachers in his school that I want my non-verbal son taught sign language and it wouldn't be happening now if there wasn't a deaf child in his class and they are all having to sign to her.

[Spydyee]

If you don't think you can stand against the prejudices of society with the radical rhetoric seen here then please either stand with the non-violent social change movement or keep quiet but whatever you do don't sell your soul to the opposition like Marty has done.

[Greyandblackpuppy]

so much hatred--i have autism and so does my son-i find this kind of video to be silly--i also remember when he posted this himself many people saying they were against the video were not NT--you spout acceptance then slam NT's--how sad you are

[Spydyee]

The problem comes in the fact that we are walking down a very similar path depicted by these videos. I see Christschool, and he even considers himself, to be more like Malcolm X whereas I am more like MLK. The point is that they both had their place in the civil rights movement. So to do those that marched with them.

[nikasmama]

Because your color has granted you such privilege, you actually believe you can do anything, including trancend your own existence and feel the pain of brown and black people, because you have a disability. "House autistic" and "field autistic"...Repulsive.

[christschool]

Ask the autistics at the Judge Rotenberg Center if they feel priviledge of being white? Race has nothing to do with anything and your attempt to highjack this and who you list as one of your favorites on your channel tells me everything I need to know to know where you are coming from. Again, you don't understand Malcolm X at all.

[christschool]

Malcolm X from 1965 interview with Gordon Parks: I realized racism isn't just a black and white problem. It's brought bloodbaths to about every nation on earth at one time or another. Brother, remember the time that white college girl came into the restaurant — the one who wanted to help the Muslims and the whites get together — and I told her there wasn't a ghost of a chance and she went away crying?

[christschool]

Well, I've lived to regret that incident. In many parts of the African continent I saw white students helping black people. Something like this kills a lot of argument. I did many things as a [black] Muslim that I'm sorry for now. I was a zombie then — like all [black] Muslims — I was hypnotized, pointed in a certain direction and told to march.

[AutisticPride]

I believe you are quoting Malcolm X now in the last comment

[christschool]

Well, I guess a man's entitled to make a fool of himself if he's ready to pay the cost. It cost me 12 years. That was a bad scene, brother. The sickness and madness of those days — I'm glad to be free of them." Niksmama, you need actually read who Malcolm X was.

[christschool]

Since when did autism become a white's only neurology. Stephen Wiltshire, a famous black autistic might disagree with you. Also, Malcolm X College in Chicago might also disagree with you: "Students with disabilities here at Malcolm X College are capable individuals who experience some limitations that necessitate adaptation of materials, methods and/or environment to facilitate their most successful learning outcomes".

[YaleUniversityASD]

Malcolm X's most important message was to love blackness, to love black culture. Malcolm insisted that loving blackness was itself an act of resistance. That is his lesson for "disabled" people. For autistic people, the very idea of self advocacy is an act of resistance to some in society.

[AutisticPride]

Wow yes. The act to love ourselves not in spite of autism but in embracing autism because it defines us within the context of being human is truly an act of heresy in some quarters

[nikasmama]

I wonder if you considered how Black Americans would feel about you using their fight against racism, neocolonialism, and the violent oppression of their race...with being autistic. You have no right to claim their existence and experience as your own. This is utterly offensive but, its something that only a white person would do.

[christschool]

You don't understand Malcolm X if you think this. You also don't understand Autistic History. Look at the American Holocaust Museum and search for T4, we were the first to go into the gas chambers. Search the Judge Rotenberg Center. No one claims another's experience, but to say no one can relate is incorrect and the height of racism/disablism.

[AutisticPride]

It is not only Autistic history vis a vis the nazis but here in this country - the eugenics movement. And in Sweden where all "feeble minded" people were steralized. This only stopped just recently

[dinahkcm]

wonderful, and needful, thank you Christschool - it's in the posautive/sense group

[aware4autism]

Heh, my family is infected. Infected with love, acceptance and joy, and incredible intelligence!
