  • "Combating Autism"? Seriously?

    Autism isn't some sort of sickness you can fight. It's a part of your personality and what you do, and there's nothing you can do to get rid of or cure it. If only Autism Speaks could get that message...

  • I'm so mad at this guy. He represents so many judgemental, ignorant, callus people I have encountered since the aut diag. I just want to kick him in the shins.

  • Where I live, there are no special ed classes for autistic children over 3rd grade, so they are not being bankrupted in my area. I don't know about yours, have you inquired? I hope you don't have any disabled kids.

  • I have aspergers syndrome a form of Autism and I am very 'odd' to say but I have a high IQ. People who have autism are not retarded and please every don't make fun of people who are different then you if you do your scum of the earth in my view.

    You know what I like being odd its fun in my view and you should always be yourself

  • This only proves that IQ tests are biased towards normies. One autism expert has a basic formula that goes something like "when an IQ test says the autistic individual's IQ is X, add ten to twenty points".

  • From the Yale Medical info site "Many individuals with autism exhibit mental retardation on the basis of their full-scale (or averaged) IQ score; "

    This is what our son was labeled as, but even the tester said the test did not show his true abilities.

    This does not mean autistic are retarded in the old fashioned sense, they do not test well when it comes to verbal and that is how their IQ is measured.

  • retarded=low IQ - my son is High Functioning with high IQ and MOST "autistic" kids have high IQ's

  • I think in the past, high functioning may have been either considered retarded or just a late bloomer.

  • But its fun that way.

  • Everyone's insane.
