It's Almost 2012

In 2011, my New Year's resolution was to lose my virginity. That happened, so I will not be committing suicide, at least not right now. However, much to my surprise, losing my virginity did not magically turn my life around. My life still sucks balls due to my autism, and I still need a cure. Both relationships I had this year failed, and only one of them resulted in sex. I made the humungous mistake of telling one of my girlfriends about my autism, but ironically it was the same one who had sex with me. She seemed fine with it at first, but then used it as an excuse to dump me. It is a mistake I have vowed never to repeat. My long-distance girlfriend did not know of my autism, but then she disappeared to Texas and just stopped calling me. I don't see myself having another relationship anytime soon, because I'm very severely autistic and I will likely never have sex again. I don't have a resolution for 2012 since I lost my virginity in 2011 and that was all I really wanted to accomplish. All I can do is hope that it is at least a better year, which seems pretty hard. Some things are getting better, though. I'm now learning to drive and I plan to start college in February, so we'll see where that leads.

The Difference Between Raffi And Luciano Pavarotti

In 1994, when I was 2 years old, I was watching the TV special "Encore: The Three Tenors" live from Dodger Stadium at my apartment in New Haven. My favorite singer at the time was Raffi, who I'd recently seen in concert and booed, as I referred to previously. While Raffi was a man with dark hair and a full beard, he really did not look much like Luciano Pavarotti. They were of different ethnicities (Raffi is Armenian while Pavarotti was Italian), and Raffi is thin and scrawny while Pavarotti was fat and sweaty. They even performed completely different genres of music: Raffi is a children's folk singer while Pavarotti was an opera tenor. Nonetheless, when the TV special came on, I looked at Luciano Pavarotti and immediately said, "That's Raffi!" The reason for this is that my autism makes me completely face-blind, which means that I have absolutely no idea what people look like. I figured that since both Raffi and Pavarotti had a beard, that they must be the same person. My parents simply explained to me that they were different people, but if they had focused their time when I was that age on curing my autism instead of just boasting about how "smart" I supposedly was, I would've been spared that horrific embarrassment. Once I accepted the truth, I learned that the other Three Tenors were named Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo, and I later learned that their conductor was named Zubin Mehta. Unfortunately, Luciano Pavarotti died in 2007 at the age of 71, thus putting an end to The Three Tenors.

The Use of the Word "Retard"

Recently, I was having an argument on Facebook with my good friend Jonathan Mitchell over whether or not it is appropriate to use the word "retard." While Jonathan and I agree on nearly everything (namely a cure), I must say that I disagree with him on this one. Now, don't get me wrong, I do not question Jonathan's integrity as a curebie. I believe that he is genuinely pro-cure, unlike Autism Speaks. Anyway, back to my point. Jonathan's position was the typical ND garbage that the word "retard" is offensive because it belittles autism as a disability. But the fact of the matter is that autism is a disability, and a very severe one at that. It shouldn't be trivialized at all, and ND already does a tremendous job at that. If we use the word "retard," we can accurately portray that autism is a severe disability and that it needs to be cured. One person who I know shares my opinion is John Best. When I was being chewed out on my Facebook wall by some NDs who were offended over my use of the word "retard," John Best immediately came to my aid and I commend him for that. It takes true moral character. What we need to do is ditch the PC and get to the reality of how bad autism is and how it needs to be cured. I believe using the word "retard" can do just that.

The Spectrum: 1967-2010

I can't believe I waited nearly a year to say it, but say it I must: the Spectrum was finally demolished in November of last year. This is the same Spectrum that Bruce Springsteen sang his famous "Wrecking Ball" song at in late 2009. Bruce Springsteen cares so much about autistic people because he performed for Autism Speaks. He didn't realize what a bad organization Autism Speaks is, and he thought they genuinely wanted to cure autistic children. If he had known then what he knows now, I doubt he would've even performed. The fact that Sadder but Wiser Girl put him on a boycott list just proves what idiots neurodiversity are. Bruce Springsteen unfortunately lost his saxophone player this past June, on the same day that I lost my virginity. Clarence Clemons will be missed greatly. He was 69 years old. RIP Clarence (1942-2011)

Diagnosis of Wandering

This morning, I read a horrific story in the LA Times about an 8-year-old autistic boy who went missing in the Angeles National Forest. He was thankfully found safe, but it was obviously very scary nonetheless. It is people like these who may require a label or diagnosis of "wandering" so that people will know to take extra precaution to keep them safe. Of course, Ari Ne'eman and his ASAN are against this label, for fear that it would be "stigmatizing." Neurodiversity claims to prevent stigma, but they actually do a pretty good job of creating it. My belief as to why Ari Ne'eman opposes this diagnosis is that he is so self-righteous that he cannot possibly see himself necessitating a "wandering" label. That statement alone may be true in of itself, but one must also keep in mind that Ari Ne'eman is not autism. Despite the fact that he himself may not need a "wandering" label, he as absolutely no right at all to say that, on behalf of all autistic people, that he opposes a "wandering" label. It may be needed in several cases, and it can save lives. I myself would never need a "wandering" label, but I do not go around saying that if I don't need it then nobody does, because that is simply not true. Many people do need it, and I am not in the least afraid to admit to that. Another bogus line of Ari Ne'eman's is that non-verbal autistic children who wander must be allowed to do so because that is supposedly their only way of communicating. First of all, Ari Ne'eman has no psychology degree whatsoever, so I have absolutely no idea why he thinks he knows this. Also, if that is indeed the case, it would be even more of a reason to necessitate the label, not less. A child who only communicates by wandering or attempting to wander (assuming that is indeed true) does not justify having his life endangered by the lack of a label simply due to fear of stigmatization. Of course, Ari Ne'eman also opposes teaching non-verbal autistic children to talk, which could also help greatly with the wandering issue. The stories like today's and countless others just only go to show how badly this label is necessitated. Anyone who simply fears being stigmatized is ignorant to the fact that these autistic people are putting their own lives at risk. We need to stop the ASAN now for the betterment of society, and we need to realize that they do not really care about autistic people in the least.

CAA Act Renewed

Well, there is some slightly good news today, as the Senate has finally decided to renew the Combating Autism Act, much to the chagrin of Ari Ne'eman, even though he wouldn't have his government post if it wasn't for this act. The fact that neurodiversity opposes this act is truly appalling, and they prove that they actually don't give a shit about autistic people. If they did, they'd all cure themselves via chelation. At least there are autistic people like me who see through their bullshit and realize that our disease needs to be cured. If only autistic people would listen to me. Then they'd know the truth.

I Booed Raffi

When I was 2 years old, I went to go see Raffi (who was my favorite singer at the time) at the Palace Theater in New Haven, Connecticut (where I then lived). I of course loved the music, so to show Raffi my great appreciation, I clapped my hands and said, "Boo!" I thought boo meant yay. This was due to my autism, which causes confusion of facts. Nobody knows why exactly I thought this, but there are a couple of theories out there. The first theory is that I heard someone say boo at a baseball game and just figured that it meant yay. Another one is that I knew that woo meant yay, so I just figured that boo also meant yay. I don't know which one it was, or if it was a combination of both. My parents didn't know that I was autistic back then, and they thought I was smart when I was in fact mentally retarded. They figured that I was just being snide and sarcastic and my dad even booed along with me, and that only added to my confusion. I didn't finally realize that boo meant boo until several years later, when I learned the Purim story. It was when I was in kindergarten (around the same time as the Sparky incident) and my mom was telling me how when you say the name of Haman (who is the bad guy), you say "Boo!" I naturally figured "Well, you wouldn't say yay for a bad guy," and that is when I figured out the truth. Another phrase that I thought meant yay was "schoff crunch." This was again in New Haven but this time we were at an orchestra concert on the New Haven Green where they played the Blue Danube Waltz, which is also played in the Spongebob Squarepants episode "Jellyfishing." Anyway, we were there with our neighbor Michal, and the concert was over, Michal started clapping and said "Schoff, schoff crunch." I figured that meant yay, and then went about my business. Then, when we were at an Easter party, I stood on top of the slide, started clapping and said "Schoff crunch!" My parents figured that I was mimicking bunny rabbit sounds (because it was Easter), but I was just saying yay. There you have it, folks. Had I been cured of autism via chelation at the Yale Child Study Center, I would not have subjected myself to this embarrassment.

Doheny Doctor

When I moved from New Haven back to Los Angeles in 1996, I had to enroll in my final year of preschool. Most preschools had rejected me due to the fact that I was not toilet-trained at the age of 4, but there was one semi-accepting preschool in West Hollywood called The Doheny School, which was very far from our home in Mar Vista so it was a long trek there daily. The school's namesake was Doheny Drive, the street on which it was located. During my first journey to preschool, I saw a Beverly Hills street sign which said "Doheny Dr." and I assumed that meant Doheny Doctor. My mom had immediately corrected me and told me that it was in fact Doheny Drive, but the damage had already been done. I already knew that Dr. stood for doctor, but I had no idea that it stood for drive as well. This was due to my autism, which gave me concrete thinking and a complete lack of common sense. Had I been cured of autism at the age of 2 via chelation at the Yale Health Plan (and they do cure autism there), I would've been completely normal and I wouldn't have confused Doheny Doctor with Doheny Drive.

It's Time to Cure Autism

By this point, everyone knows that autism is mercury poisoning and is not merely a form of "neurodiversity." Anyone who says otherwise is deliberately lying to you. No right-thinking person would be against curing a disease. There is nobody on Earth who opposes curing cancer and AIDS, so the same should be true with autism. One ridiculous argument that NeuroDiversity makes is that all autistic people are one and the same. They believe that we all have the same disease ad thus should not be cured. They happen to be right, albeit completely for the wrong reason. All autistic people are alike, but in the fact that we all need to be cured. Granted, we Aspergians don't need to be cured as badly as some lower-functioning autistic people, but we need to be cured nonetheless. My disease has impared my life in a myriad of ways, and only recently has it started to improve ever so slightly. Had I been cured of my autism as a young child, I would not have the depression I have now. I think Congress should mandate that autism be cured, and all NDs should be thrown in jail.

Being Autistic Sucks

If you are a person living with autism, you know perhaps better than I do what a living Hell that is, and how your disease needs to be cured. Any true person would see through Neurodiversity's bullshit, and realize that not a single member of that organization has autism. Not in the least. Those people have been paid off by Big Pharma to spread "civil rights" propaganda to cover up the fact that autism is caused by mercury in vaccines. They will spread lies that Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, and Thomas Jefferson all had autism, whereas in fact Jonathan Mitchell has singlehandedly refuted that notion. The mainstream media is so liberal that it censors the truth about autism, perhaps because it has been paid off by neurodiversity. I think we need to declare martial law in this country, throw all the NDs in jail, and waterboard them until they cough up the truth.

Selective Mutism: A Disease Within Itself

Recently, Catatab Tabimount did a post on her blog that was so utterly absurd that it made me wonder if she'd even read the very article that she linked to. Basically, Catatab Tabimount used her usual neurodiverse bullshit, but to an amazingly stupid degree. She completely ignores that the DSM considers selective mutism to be a mental disorder, and she says it shouldn't be called a disease becase it's stigmatizing. Nevermind what psychiatrists say. You know, doctors actually trained in mental health. She also makes two ridiculous speculations: one that the child experienced a trauma (way to blame the parents a la Bruno Bettelheim) and suggests that the child may be an "undiagnosed Aspie." That is particularly absurd, as people with Asperger's syndrome never have a speech delay at all. She is confusing it with autism, as if the two diseases are one and the same. This is what neurodiversity wants you to think, as they have successfully lobbied the APA to change the DSM beginning in 2013. Of course that's bullshit (like everything they say), as two related diseases are not automatically the same. Cancer and AIDS are not the same disease simply because you die from them both. The actual article seemed quite neurodiverse, but of course Catatab Tabimount didn't know that because she didn't even read it. If she had, maybe she could've seen that selective mutism is an actual disease.

Oliver Is A Retard

In 2001, I saw the movie I Am Sam about a retard played by Sean Penn. I knew I had a disease called Ass Burger's syndrome at the time, but I didn't realize I was a retard until after I saw that movie. This was further confirmed when a black occupational therapist named Crystal Brown left a message on my machine saying that I was a retard. It all started when I went downtown to LAUSD to see the occupational therapist in her office. After taking my rectal temperature, she performed a spinal tap, of which the results proved conclusively that I was a retard. She recommended that I be sent to a residential home in San Pablo Bay, but my parents declined saying it would be too restrictive.

Neurodiversity: Racist and Anti-Semitic

Neurodiversity claims to be a "civil rights" organization, which is completely ironic because they are anything but. They are racist and anti-Semitic. Comparing a pro-cure autist to a Jew in the Nazis or a black person in the KKK is completely out of line. It trivializes the hardships that black people and Jews faced, and is utterly offensive. When the PETA made similar comments, black people and Jews rightfully put them in their place, and they were forced to apologize. I guess the fact that they haven't yet called on neurodiversity can only be a good thing, as it means that neurodiversity isn't taken seriously, as well they shouldn't be.

Let Your Bumblebee Fly

Recently, I was riding the LA city bus, and something interesting came up on the TV monitor. It said that while Ph.D. physicists had claimed to have proven that bumblebees can't fly, the human eye has observed that they in fact can.

I can't help but compare this to vaccines and autism. Many M.D. "scientists" claim to have proven that vaccines don't cause autism. However, when warrior mothers see their children regress, they know that vaccines cause autism. It is not an opinion, it is a fact.

The bottom line is that autism is a form of mercury poisoning, and it can be cured.

I Do Not Know Whether Phil Gluyas Has Asperger's Syndrome

On the advice of counsel, I am making the following statement:

Previously, I had posted that Phil Gluyas did not have Asperger's syndrome. I believed this to be true because I saw court testimony from him in which he testified that he had a different diagnosis. My belief was reinforced because he told me he would email me a copy of his Asperger's diagnosis, but never did, claiming my email address had changed when I knew it hadn't.

Despite my belief, I want to make this clear: I do not personally know what diagnosis or diagnoses Phil Gluyas has received in the past or present. I am not a doctor or psychologist, and even if I were, I have never examined Phil. My personal opinion is just that: the opinion if a non-expert, and of course I have no access to Phil's medical records.

As any reader of the comments of this blog knows, Phil has asked me to take down my previous post and to apologize for my previously expressed opinion and had threatened legal action if I do not do so. By this post, I am saying I have no proof one way or the other as to Phil's diagnosis. Phil knows what diagnosis he has received, and I don't know why he cares what my opinion is. But apparently he does, so I apologize for posting that he does not have Asperger's syndrome.

Sheer Craziness

Recently, Catatab Tabimount posted on her blog the new alarming statistic out of South Korea that one out of 38 in the world's population now has autism. If that isn't even more reason why autism needs to be cured, I frankly don't know what is. I left a comment there expressing my opinion in direct relation to the subject. What subsequently ensued was sheer craziness.

First, Catatab Tabimount's buddy Amtrak Raildude left a somewhat respectful comment disagreeing with me. Amtrak Raildude is a guy with a bizarre fetish for trains, which makes me think of Darius McCollum, the autistic man who's been arrested 11 times for hijacking trains. I pray to God that this man doesn't turn out to be like him. To his immense credit, however, Amtrak Raildude spoke out in support of therapy and early intervention, which is very rare for an ND as they usually oppose helping autistic people at all whatsoever. He also seems to be anti-Big Pharma, which is even more rare amongst NDs. Granted, if Big Pharma did indeed find a cure for autism (not that they ever would), I would appreciate it immensely.

That was only the beginning. Next, a bunch of anon posters attacked me directly, saying they were "feeding the troll." I have no idea why anyone would think I was trolling, but they did apparently. They left one that said "SCAXliner" over and over, which I assume came from Amtrak Raildude as no one else in the world would have a clue what that even is. Others repeatedly said, "U MAD, BRO?" and I have no idea who left those. I don't think it was anyone from the Whack Pack, but maybe it was Catatab Tabimount.

Next, I received some very bizarre emails, which said DESU DESU DESU over and over and over. Those, I believe, were from Catatab Tabimount, as that word is a favorite of hers. (Phil Gluyas: If you are reading this, that should be a huge clue that I never changed my email address. Where are the papers?) Another email said, "Bam, I troll you," which was also from Catatab Tabimount.

I have no idea why she would start suddenly acting like this. To her credit, she is usually much softer than other NDs, as she allows room for opinions other than her own and is much less confrontational. One can only guess why some measly comment from me would put her over the edge.

I also believe Amtrak Raildude left a comment on my post about Osama bin Laden. I believe so because he called himself a conductor, which I assume is that of a train and not of an orchestra. It was actually respectful, but he probably didn't want me to know who he really is.

Anyway, I gotta go now. Gotta take my lovely dog for a walk. He's been waiting all morning. See you all later!

I Am Still A Virgin At 19

As the title of this post says, I am still a virgin at 19. In this day and age, that is virtually unacceptable. Contrary to popular belief, it is not society's hatred of me that causes my virginity. It is caused directly by my autism itself, as it is a disease that needs a cure a la cancer and AIDS. If I could lose my virginity without a cure, that'd be great. But I can't, so I need chelation.

Right before I graduated high school, I had intended to go to college. However, once I realized what a loser I was, I realized it wasn't possible because I could never get laid. I considered killing myself, but I just decided to wither away instead. I ain't worth nothing, because I will never get laid.

BTW, it's every human's right to get laid, as per the UN. Nobody can take away that right, but they can skirmish around it if somebody's autistic. Poor me. I am so autistic that nobody will fuck me. That is really sad, so I need a cure.

The cure for autism is chelation. Once I receive it, I will no longer be autistic, so I can get laid. If I do get laid without a cure, that also will make me no longer autistic, and I will shut down this blog. Until then, I'm an autistic loser. Peace out.

EKG School

As some of you may already know, I have been taking an EKG class at Cal State LA since late February. Today, I finally gave somebody an EKG, which is another step towards me passing the class. In May, I must take the state licensing exam and receive at least 82% to be officially certified as an EKG doctor. I am the only autistic person in the class (as well as the youngest), and nobody else knows that I am autistic.

While taking this EKG class is certainly a step in the right direction, I still have a long way to go. I still have yet to drive a car, go to college, or get laid, and I will be 19 on Sunday. My autism has held me back in life, and if I do succeed it will be despite my autism, not because of it. I realize that some other autistic people may have succeeded better than me (as some may have succeeded worse) as no two autistic people are alike, but those who have succeeded better than me should feel blessed, not take personal offense and accuse me of "misrepresenting" autism. I speak from on honest perspective, and I speak for no one but myself. I certainly do not mean any offense, and thus none should be taken.

Analysis of Parenthood

On tonight's episode of Parenthood (of which one of the characters is an Aspergian child), his parents had to go through a tough decision of whether or not to pull him out of his special ed school and put him in a normal school which would be more academically challenging. Initially, his father was in favor of normalizing him, while his mother felt he would do better socially in his special ed school. Ultimatley, after consulting with his former 1:1 (who had to quit because she slept with the Aspergian child's uncle, but that's another story in itself), they decided to send him to a normal school.

This episode really hit home with me, because I was in a very similar situation when I was 17, having to decide whether to continue at VGW and graduate with a diploma or transfer to a normal school for my senior year. I ultimately chose the latter, and it proved to be the worst decision of my life. While I did fine academically and behaviorally at Uni (in fact better than I had at VGW), the social anxiety ultimately became too much for me to handle and I had to leave after the first semester, although I did get my diploma a semester early which was a plus. The whole experience was so off-putting that it set me back for nearly a year. Now, I am at least doing something to move forward in life (I'm taking an extended education course at Cal State LA on how to give people an EKG) but I do not know where that will lead. It's at least a step in the right direction, but I still have a long way to go. On the episode itself, I don't mean to take one position or the other, but I do wish to offer my personal input and let parents know that there are two sides to every coin. However, it pretty much depends on the child, as no two autistic people are exactly alike. Some may do well in a normal school, while others would probably do better in a special ed setting.

Opening Day is just around the corner. Go Dodgers!

Apology to The Informer

I was recently reading the Informer's blog, and he stated that he was disappointed in me closing down my blog and allowing all those rogue comments. Therefore, I'm gonna issue a full and unconditional apology to The Informer, and I'm gonna withdraw the remark I made back in October about all NDs being pedophiles. While one of them is (i.e. Nick Dubin), I understand that it is unfair to judge an entire group by one of its members. If the Informer doesn't accept this apology, then I'll understand. One cannot be guaranteed forgiveness. Anyway, I'm back on board, and I'm ready to combat neurodiversity.

Running Into Alex Plank

I ran into Alex Plank today while I was at Venice Beach with my male therapist. I wanted to cuss him out, but my male therapist said that if I did that I'd be arrested for disturbing the peace. Had I been alone, I certainly would've cussed him out. For those of you who don't already know, Alex Plank founded the website WrongPlanet.net in 2005, and was one of the biggest voices of neurodiversity until Ari Ne'eman came around in 2006. He graduated from George Mason University in 2009. Apparently, his life has taken a turn for the worse recently. He was dumped by his longtime girlfriend Katie Miller, and apparently is high on weed all the time and drinks so much beer that he upchucks all over his friends. Recent controversy arose when he sold his website to Autism Speaks in 2010, which is an organization that he had previously denounced. Some say he did it just for the cash, while others accused Autism Speaks of selling out. I don't know which is true, but I do know that neither direction is a good one to go in. To his credit, Alex Plank has featured some legitimately pro-cure people on his YouTube show "AutismTalkTV," and cohosts it with Jack "Cubby" Robison (legal name: John Elder Robison Jr.), the son of author John Elder Robison, who is not as crazy as some of the other NDs.

Venice Beach is a pretty funky place. I didn't get laid there, although Clay Adams suggested that I do that. There are so many tattoo parlors there, so one time when I bring enough money maybe I can actually get a tattoo. Regardless, the place is full of normal people, and I did a very good job of not asking autistic.

When I was on the bus home, I ran into Meghan, who was driving in her car. For those of you who don't know, Meghan is the girl whose boobs I touched back in 8th grade.

The Truthmeister Is Banned From This Blog

From this point forward, I will no longer be approving any further comments from the Truthmeister. He is an idiot and his views will not be tolerated here. Everything he says is a lie, and I do not need to prove otherwise. He is trying to discredit me and is failing, badly. This blog will be back on the airwaves some time tomorrow, and from now on nothing but the truth will be told on this blog. I cannot deal with these dumbfucks whom accuse me of lying, so they are now permabanned from commenting here. That will be all.

I Picked Up Garbage On The Beach With The LA Dodgers

Early this morning, I took the bus to Santa Monica (a suburb of Los Angeles which is also my city of birth) to pick up garbage on the beach with the LA Dodgers. I'd previously picked up garbage on the beach as a student at VGW, but the LA Dodgers hadn't been involved until now. The Dodgers there were legion. Among the current Dodgers included outfielder #27 Matt Kemp (whose brother is autistic and is dedicated to curing the disease), shortstop #15 Rafael Furcal (a native of the Dominican Republic who was an All Star in 2010), outfielder #10 Tony Gwynn Jr. (the son of the legendary Hall of Famer who was just signed this past offseason), outfielder #31 Jay Gibbons (a known steroid user who was acquired by the Dodgers late last year, his first MLB action since 2007), and outfielder #35 Gabe Kapler (a Jew whom the Dodgers recently signed as a non-roster invitee). Former retired Dodgers included outfielder #15 Shawn Green (a Jew who would always refuse to play on Yom Kippur), first baseman #6 Steve Garvey (a member of the legendary Dodgers infield during the 1970s), pitcher #34 Fernando Valenzuela (a native of Mexico who pitched a no-hitter in 1990 and is currently a Spanish-language broadcaster), #30 Daryl Thomas (whom I'd previously never heard of), and "Sweet" Lou Johnson (a member of the 1965 World Series champions, I couldn't see his number because he was wearing a jacket; it may've been 41 but I'm not sure. Fernando also had a jacket on but I already knew his number). Also there was radio broadcaster Charley Steiner, whom I believe is Jewish and was also one of the original broadcasters at ESPN in 1979. We all had a fun time picking up garbage. My group was lead by Rafael Furcal and Shawn Green. We picked up 8 pounds of garbage, but the winning group picked up 30. They were led by Gabe Kapler and "Sweet" Lou Johnson. There was also a raffle afterwards, but I didn't win anything. I did perfectly well around normal people, and I did not flip out. I don't think anyone even knew that I was autistic. The event was filmed for the Time Warner Cable channel "Dodgers On Demand" and was broadcast on the radio by AM 570 KLAC. They also took a group photo, so I am in that and I may be seen On Demand as well.

Letter From Phil Gluyas

Well, I received a letter in the mail today (not by service of process like I did last time) that was addressed to me from Phil Gluyas in Australia. I read it, and promptly tossed it in the recycling bin. I was clearly written in his hand, and had his signature scribbled on the bottom along with some stamp that may very well have been fake. It basically was a form of him rambling online, except on paper. He complained about how I (legally) view his website, and tried to state that the US Constitution didn't apply to me. Unfortunately, he was wrong on both counts. He even tried to say that I should stay off of his websites that aren't IP blocked, and that I shouldn't even mention his name at all. Unfortunately for him, that violates my right to free speech, so he loses there as well. He also made his usual bizarre statements, such as that I am an "abuser of autistic civil rights" and that I "threaten him and his family," neither of which are true. Seeing the rantings of a lunatic about oneself is not stalking, and is not jeopardizing to anyone's mental health. He even cited some random statute, but it doesn't take a genius to know that his argument would never stand in court. He also threatened to press charges, but I am in another country and cannot be extradited. I will continue to view Phil's website (via a proxy) and there ain't a thing he can do about it. Phil just needs to learn that if you say shit on the Internet, it's gonna come back to bite you. He also needs to know not to whine and cry when things don't go his way. The world doesn't revolve around him, and his hypocrisy can only last so long.

Post Number 100/Email From UK

Well, this is the 100th post I've done here on AIB since I started last March. This is a huge milestone for me considering all that I've experienced within the past year. My goal is to do at least 100 more posts (barring an absolute miracle, which right now I just don't see happening), before I close this blog down for good. This is definitely a milestone, but the real celebration will be for the one-year anniversary of this blog next month.

But, now to the main topic of this post. This morning, I received an email from Beverly Harp, a grad student at the University of Kentucky (in Lexington) who is doing a study on autistic bloggers. I answered all of her questions to the best of my ability, and expressed how thankful I was that people are giving equal weight to my side of the issue in addition to the other side. In the past, I'd seen visitors from UK on my StatCounter, so now I know what that was all about. This proves that I am getting genuine and legitimate recognition, and that people take me seriously. First, Long Beach State cites me in a paper, and now UK contacts me and asks me to participate in a study. God only knows what will happen next.

On a side note, I am going to a concert tomorrow night. It's The Decemberists (I've seen them before), and it's at the Wiltern Theater which is in Koreatown. Hopefully, this will go better than the last concert that I went to, where Badly Drawn Boy walked off the stage simply because I was autistic. However, I am confident that it will go smoothly, as nearly all of the other concerts that I have gone to have.

Darts (Lotion Lotion Lotion)

When I lived in New Haven, Connecticut back in the mid-1990's, our neighbors had a dartboard that made a bizarre sound that resembles the words, "lotion, lotion, lotion" when you connected with a dart. Because we Aspergians tend to bizarrely process sounds as words, the feminine sanitizing cream stuck. Sensory mix-up is an unfortunate side effect of Asperger's syndrome, which is more evidence of the need for a cure. People who suffer from alektorophobia (fear of chickens) are much more likely to avoid going to a Bruce Springsteen concert, not only because they turn the lites off, but because the keyboard solo in "Badlands" as well as the violin solo in "Waitin' on a Sunny Day" both resemble the sound of a chicken. No matter, however, because Bruce Springsteen cares so much about autistic people. He proved this not only by performing at an Autism Speaks benefit, but by turning the lites on instead of off when he sings "Born to Run" to accomodate those with sensory issues.

Speaking of lotion, it is not masculine for a guy to use it, at all. All Aspergian young men should be taught to avoid lotion at all costs, so that they do not appear gay or homosexual. Because it is a sin to have sex with a man, autistic boys should be taught that being strait is the only option. Aspergian boys may be subject to exploitation, or demasculization, from their bullying peers. Behavior like this must be stopped, because it can severely jeopardize a man's sexual orientation.

Speaking of orientation, Freddie Mercury was gay. That's why he kicked the bucket due to AIDS at the age of 45. Had he listened to God, maybe he would still be singing today. Nonetheless, he was a great singer and Queen was a great band. Shortly before his death, Freddie Mercury recorded a song entitled, "The Show Must Go On." Its lyrics are eerily haunting, and it was the last Queen song to be released during Freddie Mercury's lifetime. He never got to sing it live, but it has become a live staple for Queen in the post-Freddie era. It, of course, has to be sung in a lower key, because no other male singer has the range of Freddie Mercury.

Autism is a horrendous disease that needs to be cured. Please join me in the fight against it. It will not be easy, but it is worth it, and in the end, we will emerge victorious.

Super Bowl XLV

I'm mostly a baseball fan, but I do watch football as well, and I don't know a single American who doesn't watch the Super Bowl, so I feel I must report on this. The Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers by a score of 31-25. The game took place at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Packers led 21-3 at one point, but the Steelers made it close and turned it into an exciting game. The Packers won their 4th Super Bowl ever, behind only the Steelers as well as the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers. This was their first Super Bowl since they controversially dumped Brett Favre in favor of Aaron Rodgers, which turned out to be the right decision. They also won the first ever Super Bowl under coach Vince Lombardi, after whom the Super Bowl trophy is named. Aaron Rodgers was named the MVP. The Packers are the only team in America that is publicly traded, meaning that 180,000 owners just won the Super Bowl.

The Black Eyed Peas performed at halftime, becoming the first non-classic rock band to perform since Janet Jackson showed her boobs in 2004, which was also the last time it was played in Texas. Reviews were mixed, but they were way better than Christina Aguilera, who badly fucked up the lyrics to our National Anthem.


I was rooting for the Packers, only because the Steelers have been dominant in recent years. But during the regular season, I do not have a team to root for because LA has lacked an NFL team since the mid-1990's when the Rams moved to St. Louis and the Raiders moved to Oakland. There is currently a major push underway to build an NFL stadium downtown (Farmer's Field) so that one and possibly two NFL teams could relocate to LA. The two most likely to relocate at this point are the San Diego Chargers (who play in an old, antiquated stadium) and the Minnesota Vikings (whose roof fell down during a snowstorm in December). The goal is to get the stadium built by 2015 so that it can host Super Bowl L, which would be the semicentennial of which the first was in LA as well.

Perhaps one reason why I follow baseball more than football is due to the fact that we have a local team. We have one within our city limits, two within our metropolitan area, and five within our state. I am a Dodger fan (not an Angel fan because they bullshit everyone about where they actually play), but perhaps if an NFL team moved here I would be a fan of them as well. Baseball has a much longer season than football, as its teams play 162 games a year instead of only 16. Baseball also plays every day, while football plays only once a week. There are some positives of not having a team, though. We never get blackouts, and most of the games on TV involve good teams rather than some shitty local team. Some people say that the NFL really doesn't want a team in LA because then it couldn't be used as a bargaining chip to build stadiums in other cities. There might not even be an NFL season next year due to a labor lockout.

Anyway, football season is over now, but there is good news on the horizon, because pitchers and catchers start reporting to Spring Training next week.

A TruthMeister of Lies

This "TruthMeister" guy is anything but. Not only does he claim to tell the truth, but he censors me when I do. He now moderates comments, so I won't be commenting there anymore. He and all of Phil's buddies claim that I committed a crime simply by viewing Phil's website, which is utter bullshit. Not only is it not stalking, but it isn't burglary either, and that claim is even more ridiculous. A website is not property, it is merely a piece of cyberspace. If you are gonna leave a point of access to your website, you shouldn't whine and cry when someone takes advantage of that. When I used the Newport Beach IP address, all I did was type in the URL. I didn't even use a proxy then (although I do now), and that isn't even remotely burglary. However, even all the dumbfucks over at Phil's World seem to be somewhat suspicious of this "TruthMeister" guy, so he is bad news. How many dumbfucks can there be? First STFU, then the Asspie Hater, and now the TruthMeister? I'm still convinced that STFU and the TruthMeister are one and the same, but even if they aren't they are both bad people.

Andrew Ackner Admits To Spamming My Blog

Well, Andrew Ackner has waived his 5th Amendment rights and publicly admitted to writing all those horrendous comments on my blog. He didn't realize that Phil can't block IPs from his blog lobby, so he wouldn't have admitted to it otherwise. He also claimed that it would be inadmissible evidence because he thought I was blocked, but that isn't true either. In fact, it is a crime to cover up evidence that could implicate you. That is called "obstruction of justice," and is partially what Bill Clinton got impeached for although he was acquitted due to insufficient evidence as well as the fact that the Republicans lacked a supermajority in the Senate. Anyway, Andrew had the right to remain silent under the 5th Amendment, but he voluntarily gave up that right, so as per Miranda v. Arizona, anything he says can and would be used against him in a court of law if I followed up. I don't think I will (because I have better shit to do), but if you are stupid enough to give up your constitutional rights, you shouldn't expect much good to happen. Also, even though Andrew was directly responsible for his horrendous comments, Phil was indirectly responsible as well. The fact that he did not publicly disown Andrew for those means that he endorses them and thus is indirectly responsible. One does not actually have to type on the keyboard. For example, one can get the death penalty for murder in California even if he did not pull the trigger, so it is the same principle albeit less severe in nature.

Phil's World Idiot Of The Year!

I just found out that all the dumbfucks over at Phil's World have named me the 2010 Idiot of the Year! Let me just say that I accept this award with great pride and honor. If Phil and his whack pack think that I'm an idiot, then I must be doing something right! Not even John Best has ever received this honor, but maybe he will follow in my footsteps. I am a better person, and autism needs to be cured. Winning this award proves that Phil is the real idiot and I am smart enough to bring change to the world in the form of a cure for autism. This is the best award I have ever won. Way better than any of the ones at VGW. This award proves that I am sane and that all NDs are whackjobs. It would be analagous th the Democrats giving me Worst Person of the Year because I am a Republican, or Giant fans making me worst person of the year because I am a Dodger fan. I would want to be perceived as bad by those people, so this means that I am making a very strong push for a cure and am gaining steam. Fuck you, Phil's World and company! Your website will come crashing down, but I must say this award proves who the real idiot is (hint: it's not me).

TruthMeister: Shut The Fuck Up!

I was reading The Informer's blog, and he linked to yet another blog that attacks me. It turns out that the owner of this blog is STFU, who (thankfully) no longer believes that I am John Best. There were two dead giveaways. The first one was on his Blogger profile. The date he joined gave it away. Another one was his URL. It is exactly the same as his other blog that attacked me. He claims to live in Korea, but that is a lie as he has previously stated that he lives in Oregon. This could potentially explain that rogue comment I got last weekend, but the only IP on my blog anywhere close to that time was from Australia. He did do a post explaining how to get onto my blog and avoid StatCounter, but I believe that is bullshit because the entire blog is protected, including the comments section. Also, that post dates to before I received my rogue comment, which was obviously left by Phil. Anyway, this man from Portland (not Korea) needs to be dealt with fast as he is a liar and a coward. Cheers!

I Don't Offend Anyone

When I talk about my autism, I pretty much tell it like it is. I don't sugarcoat or act like things are better than they actually are. My autism has caused me to have a shitty life, and I am incredibly honest about that. However, all the dumbfucks over at neurodiversity seem to take personal offense to the fact that I would rather be cured to give myself a better life. They call it a "civil rights issue" and that I am "destroying the autistic community," as if there even was one. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why an ND should be offended that I want to be cured. None at all. If their autism is milder than mine, then they should not tell me not to cure myself simply because they would prefer to be autistic. They have the right to their choice, as do I. If they have the right not to cure themselves, I should have the right to cure myself if I so choose. It is not offensive to simply ask for a better life. Neurodiversity claims to be about respecting people for who they are, but they are anything but. They are an elite group who will expel anyone at a moment's notice for disagreeing with them even the slightest bit. In my mind, the only reason why neurodiversity would possibly not want to see autistic people have better lives is because they are sociopaths and take pleasure in our pain. I am an autistic person who wants to be cured. I am not a human rights abuser, and I am not a hater. I have a disease and I want it gone, akin to cancer and AIDS. I respect neurodiversity's opinion, but I do not respect them telling me what my opinion should be. They may choose not to cure themselves, but they have absolutely no right to tell us autistic people that we cannot be cured simply because they would prefer if we were autistic. If they demand justice, so should we. We will not stop fighting neurodiversity until they are rightfully exposed as a fraud, and we will find a cure for autism for those who want it, because your opinion matters too. We will not bow down to the tyranny of ND. Thank you and God bless.

I'm Related To The Barbarian Brothers

You heard that right, folks. I am a blood relative of the Barbarian Brothers, whose real names are David and Peter Paul. They are my second-cousins-once-removed. They were very famous people, having been twin bodybuilders and actors in the 1980s. I am not related to any Hollywood celebrities other than the Barbarian Brothers, of which I am very proud. Most people, especially autistic people, cannot rightfully claim that they are related to an A-list Hollywood celebrity, but I can.

For those who say that autism runs in families (and you know who you are), that is pure bullshit, plain and simple. Nobody in my family is autistic but me. The reason that the Barbarian Brothers aren't autistic is because thimerosal didn't exist back in 1958 (or around then). Had they been poisoned, they would not have had the illustrious film career that they did.

I'm sorry for posting something slightly off-topic. There might be some autism-related news for me to blog about later this week, or there might not. I'll keep you posted.

My life is still pretty shitty, same as always. I have pretty much resigned to the fact that I will never be cured of my autism, which is really sad because autistic people live shitty lives. I still have yet to go surfing or get laid, and to me, the two almost go hand in hand. If you are able to go surfing, that is essentially a one-way ticket to getting laid. I figured that would probably be my only hope of scoring chix in the bedroom, but my autism prevents me even from doing that.

I had never heard of this Clay Marzo guy before today, but the fact that he eats breakfast with strippers daily seems pretty intriguing. I wonder if he also sponsors wet t-shirt contests. If he does, maybe he could help get me into the business. Wet t-shirt contests are also a one-way ticket to getting laid, especially if you are the sponsor.

I will never shut down this blog, because I feel it is my duty to accurately portray the pain and suffering that all autistic people face without sugarcoating at all. Even if I do not turn out to be a success (which I will not), I still want to hold out hope of a cure for future generations, as well as help autistic people who are being bullied by neurodiversity. I hope autistic people will see through the shallowness of neurodiversity and listen to wise autistic people like me. Demanding for a cure is the only way to seek happiness. All other ways are futile.

Returning to my famous cousins, they were A-list Hollywood celebrities. Their filmography is as follows:

DC Cab (1983)
The Flamingo Kid (1984)
The Barbarians (1987)
Think Big (1990)
Double Trouble (1992)
Twin Sitters (1994)

Their second film was historically significant, as it was the first movie ever to receive a rating of PG-13.

Autism and Surfing

Most people who live in Southern California have gone surfing at least once in their life, but not me cause I have autism. Because my autism precludes me from being around normal people, I cannot go surfing as a result. This is tragic, because every human being should have the right ot go surfing. Therefore, I am asking for a cure. If I didn't have autism anymore, I would be allowed to go surfing without being scrutinized and stared at. For now, I must stick to concerts and baseball games, because going surfing is off limits, just like going to college or working. I need to be cured of my autism. End of story.

Meeting Jonathan Mitchell

I had never met a fellow autistic blogger on either side of the issue until I met Jonathan Mitchell in person. I took the bus to Winchell's Donut House on Sepulveda and Santa Monica, which is very far from my house. I'd tried to due this in the past, but had failed due to a miscommunication. Anyway, this time I actually did meet Jonathan Mitchell, and I was thrilled to meet a curebie as opposed to an ND. Everything went as planned, and it was confirmed that I do actually believe in a cure and am not a poser or a hypocrite. Jonathan confirmed the same, although I had no prior doubts. He wanted me to join him at the chicken joint for dinner but I had to catch the bus home because I live very far away. Some NDs will call Jonathan Mitchell a human rights abuser, but he is not that at all and neither am I. He is simply a man with a disease called autism and he wants it cured. It would be no different if he wanted to cure cancer or AIDS. Everyone has the right to cure their autism, because the reality is that autism is a horrendous disease and needs to be cured like all horrendous diseases. To portray it as a different way of beng or a civil rights issue is not only dishonest but harmful, as it trivializes what autism really is. Some NDs, such as Clay Adams and Phil Gluyas, believe that Jonathan's autism was caused by the refrigerator mom theory, which hearkens to the days of Bruno Bettelheim. That is a despicable way to try to discredit autism, especially with a theory that has been scientifically disproven. It was actually Jonathan's writings, along with those of Jake Crosby, which turned me from ND to pro-cure nearly overnight. I will never join neurodiversity again, because theye are evil people who are owned by Big Pharma. Ari Ne'eman invented neurodiversity in 2006, and they seek to ban curing autism. We must stop that for the greater good. I'll do another post later. It was nice finally meeting you, Jonathan! Good-bye for now.

I'm Strait: I Prefer Women Over Men

For this post only, I am going to stray from the topic of autism and talk about sexual orientation. As all of you must know by now, I am completely and 100% strait and het'ro sexual. I prefer women over men, and that is a fact not an opinion. I have been strait since age 10, although I didn't scream it from the rooftops until I was 12. However, I have yet to affirm my straitness, namely because I am a virgin. Not by choice, but a virgin nonetheless. I have always blamed autism for my virginity, but maybe there is another reason. That remains to be seen. However, nearly every strait man has lost his virginity by the age of 17, or 16 if he's lucky. Because I am 18 (almost 19) and a legal adult, the prospects of me ever losing my virginity are near zero. They are slim to none. Now, don't get me wrong here, being gay or a faggot is not an option, at least not in my book. I would rather die than be homosexual. However, I really don't want to be asexual or celibate either (either voluntarily or involuntarily) because that is not who I am. I see myself as a strait person who fucks women. Prostitution is illegal in the United States, so that is not an option either. Anyway, I cannot be a virgin anymore, for the sake of my heterosexuality. It is not good for me or for anyone else. The End.
