  • Autistic people act like victims? Are you serious? Wow man, it's getting to the point where there are so many idiots on the net that have no clue that is astonishing and you now join that club.

  • As someone with autism and someone with a lot of very important people in my life also being on the spectrum I am against the idea of selective abortions when it comes to autism, we have every right to be born the way we are, we don't need fixing, we need understanding and support to help us in our everyday lives. We need people to stop fearing us because they don't understand how we think and to start respecting our right to think in our own ways. I don't need to be fixed I need to be acepted

  • I'd love to get Amanda Baggs to spend a day with Temple Grandin. Temple Grandin has made it to the top of her field because her "killer app" is she's keenly observant of animal behaviours. And she has an intellect the size of a whale.

    Baggs is very clever, but there are huge contradictions - logical, have-cake-&-eat-it contradictions - in her self-presentation as autistic.

    I'd bet my bottom dollar Temple Grandin could spot some wooden pennies by observing Baggs when there's no "take two".

  • Amanda Baggs used to have this information under her video:

    "Watch this video and see how normal you think ANYBODY can act when they're going through what I simulate for you all."

    Key word : SIMULATE.

    She was outed ages ago by former school chums: some now doctors in neurology, psychology, etc. She attended a "gifted" school & an ordinary teenage life, ordinary speaking & social behaviour, but some heavy drug use. After apologising for faking schizophrenia & MPD she then "became" autistic.

  • what a bullshit and what nerve some people have! A autistic person is just like any other person you see, the only thing that is different is the way of communication. By saying autistic people have to adapt to those that do not have autism, is nothing more then discrimination and being a plain moron. Sorry for the harsh word use, but this is really offending what people dare to say! YOU try to living with such narrow mindedness for a lifetime and see how you feel! Idiots....

  • @Sociopathics most of us are not hiding we are proud we are not the same we are in a way better but not in a bad way and in some way normal people are better

  • Shut the fuck up you retarded autism haters!!

  • @DNAdrianMorris your a moron

  • @Forkez Thats because your autistic. lolol

  • I am autistic and I think this is bullshit.
