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 concur with your assessment of ND. However, you do offend them just by saying autism is not a good thing that should be cured.
they are easily offended and are angry, embittered hatemongers. Don't let them get you down. Good you are among one of the few voices of sanity on the internet who is there to counter the sea of neurodversity blogs among me and a few other people besides yourself.

We are the Davids taking on the Goliaths.

I am a neurodiversity supporter, but you don't offend me with your desire to be cured. You can decide for yourself what you want to do with your life, and if that is waiting for a cure rather than wating for reasonable accommodations, that is fine with me. However, please realize that there are autistics who are as severely disabled as you are who still don't want a cure. As long as you respect our choice not be cured, I agree with you - and if you do not respect that choice, you still don't offend me personally.

The parents and carers of the Autism Society of Oregon are offended by you.

according to Phils own words, impersonating someone is a breach of the rules. you should report him to google and have him banned.

That's libel, Canby. I was last on this blog about 24 hours ago. Recheck the times and apologise and don't lie. I've been out all day and I can prove it as well.

Oliver, your point about welfare money is stigmatizing towards people with real disabilities. There are people, like myself, who do not want a cure yet really do have disabilities (I'm institutionalized and on disability). The thing is, there is no cure at this point. Do you agree with me that today's autistics need proper care and accommodation?

Go back to my IP (Telstra) and click on the magnifying glass. You will see nothing anywhere near the time of those two postings. If my calculations are correct you will see this entry, then the one last night (1.33am Sunday your time - 8.33pm Sunday my time), and then the previous one to that which will about about the same time Saturday!

I was out all day Sunday MY TIME! In your time I was out from 2pm Saturday to midnight! So you failed to take the time difference between us as well.

Use the magnifying glass on the other entries. I think you'll find it was one of them.

And just for the benefit of the anon, do point us to where it says in Google's TOS that impersonations aren't allowed. I have nothing to do with those two comments.

Impersonation is against Blogger's AND Google's TOS. Whether or not you find it funny is irrelevant. If you don't remove it you can lose your blog completely.

It's a simple choice. Remove the comment and keep your blog. Don't remove the comment and lose your blog. I know which of the two I'd choose.

I disagree that once a cure is found, people should be coerced to take it. i THINK FOR ADULTS IT WOULD TAKE A LOT OF ADJUSTMENT, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE TRAINING AND MAYBE EVEN LIFE-LONG SUPPORT, WHICH WOULD COST TAXPAYER MONEY AS WELL. bESIDES, WITH A FULL-BLOWN CURE (EG. A GENETIC MODIFICATION) WE WOULD WEED OUT THE AUTISM POSITIVE TRAITS, TOO, WHICH CAN INCAPACITATE PEOPLE LIKE tEMPLE gRANDIN WHO HAVE MADE A LIVING OUT OF THEIR AUTISTIC POSITIVE TRAITS. i AM NOT OPPOSED TO TREATMENT FOR AUTISM'S BAD CHARACTERISTICS, SUCH AS SENSORY DEFICITS. But anyway, i DON'T BELIEVE ONE WILL COME ANYTIEM SOON - THE MORE LIKELY "PREVENTION" IS A PRENATAL TEST FOR SOME GENETICALLY-IDENTIFIABLE AUTISM SUBTYPES.

We are not Phil. We are your Jiminy Cricket. Tell us how Autism kills. Please prove this to be so. Until you accept you do not have a disease we will show you the error of your thoughts.

Autism isn't a disease! You're crazy, dude!
