Susan Boyle Does Not Have Asperger's

Once again, I here the lamestream media using autism/Asperger's as yet another cause celebre or diagnosis du jour, this time claiming that Susan Boyle suffers from the condition. For those of you who are unaware, Susan Boyle is an old, ugly lady from Scotland who did well on Britain's Got Talent because she could sing songs from Les Miserables. She now claims that she has been "diagnosed" with the condition, but that it doesn't define her (so at least she's not totally ND). Since she resides in Britain, I wonder if this "diagnosis" was performed by Dr. Simon Baron-Cohen, an ND who has "diagnosed" multiple celebrities without ever having met them. Maybe next he'll diagnose his cousin Borat. Doing this is offensive and potentially harmful to people who are genuinely autistic and need a cure. About a year ago, New York Magazine wrote a brilliant article about how autism and Asperger's are becoming commonly-used terms to describe socially awkward people, and how that is causing sources to be diverted that actually help autistic people. I checked ND's website shortly after I read the tabloid article claiming Susan Boyle had been diagnosed, but so far they had nothing about it. Maybe after they read this post, they'll put something up "celebrating" another autistic person. Autism is something to cure, not celebrate. If we don't celebrate cancer and AIDS, we shouldn't celebrate autism.

Autism Perspectives II

My friend Katie Kagan has a new blog. I recently checked it out, and I suggest you do the same. Katie talks about autism from a biomedical perspective, which is unique among a young autistic person, and possesses a sense of self-awareness that NeuroDiversity could only dream of. We need more young autistic people stating that a cure is wanted and necessary so that we can shout down NeuroDiversity once and for all. Katie Kagan is one of these people and she does a great job in my opinion. http://autismperspectivesii.blogspot.com/

Please Pray for Terry Smith

I recently learned from a friend that an 11-year-old autistic boy from Menifee, California has been missing since Saturday night. Please pray for his safe return. Thank you.

Autistic Person Murdered In Chicago

Many people have probably heard of the 14-year-old autistic person in Chicago who was brutally murdered by his mother and godmother a couple days ago. All the members of NeuroDiversity will probably say that it is the pro-cure lobby that caused this murder, which is of course bullshit. It's a damn shame that Illinois abolished the death penalty last year as those murderers certainly deserve to be executed. It was the Democrat party that abolished the death penalty, and I believe that they are responsible for this murder. His mother stated she killed him to "put him out of his misery," which is the typical Democrat attitude behind their stance on abortion, euthanasia, etc. I know NeuroDiversity will say that this lady wanted to cure her son, but murder is most certainly not a cure. The point of a cure is to make a person better, not dead. This ladies will face justice, but will NeuroDiversity ever learn?

50 Tyson And The Autistic Fail

For those of you who don't know, 50 Tyson (whose real name is Antonio Henderson Davis), is an autistic rapper who fails at rapping. Early on in his career, he was featured on several "fail" shows, such as Tosh.0 which is hosted by Daniel Tosh and airs on Comedy Central, and makes fun of those who fail online. However, once it was revealed that 50 Tyson was in fact autistic, things did almost a complete 180. He got a genuine record deal, and in the recording studio one can sort of edit out the epic fail that was apparent in 50 Tyson's YouTube video. And it wasn't like William Hung, who got a record deal because he failed. 50 Tyson got one simply for being autistic. This greatly concerns me for many reasons. If someone fails at rapping, autistic or not, then they shouldn't get a record deal. Getting a free pass in life just for being autistic is not a way to truly integrate autistic people into society, and NeuroDiversity is certainly doing their best to put genuinely autistic people in mental institutions and rewrite the definition of autism to fit their warped agenda. This must be stopped. Also, having autism should never be seen as a positive thing. Not at all. An autistic person fighting and triumphing against all odds despite their autism can be seen as positive, but it is the triumph that is positive, not the autism. With this new record deal, people will now resist a cure because they feel that having autism gives them a free pass to getting a record deal, even if they fail at rapping. The lack of demand for a cure will mean that the research will stop, and that cannot happen. On a side note, if one wants some real musical talent, they should listen to Wesley Willis. That guy is a fucking genius, and it's a shame the world lost him when he was only 40. He beats 50 Tyson a million times over.

I Went To A Bar With Jonathan Mitchell....

and it was so fucking awesome!!! Jonathan sang 3 songs, just like in the Tamar Brott interview. Neither of us fucked anyone at the bar. We also ran into Alex Plank there, but neither of us cussed him out. All in all, it was great. I would totally do it again, and maybe next time either Jonathan and/or me will get pussy there.

S#!T Ignorant People Say To Autistics

This young lady is not the least bit autistic.  Therefore, she has no right to mercilessly mock people like us: genuinely autistic people as well as those who support a cure, as she does in this horrendous video.  It is amazing the lengths NeuroDiversity will go to to spread their evil message.  Please shout this video from the rooftops along with a message of condemnation, so that these wannabe autistics cannot mock curebies or trivialize the serious disease that is autism.  Thank you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fTBM_3sdwE

An Open Letter To Colin Meloy Of The Decemberists

Dear Colin Meloy, First off, I must say that I am a fan of your music. I have seen your band in concert twice: once at the Hollywood Bowl and another time at the Wiltern. That being said, I have some serious concerns about your apparent support for neurodiversity, a philosophy that seeks to deny autistic people a cure that they deserve and need. I understand you have a son who is relatively high-functioning on the autistic spectrum. If he is able to succeed in life without a cure, then kudos to him! Unfortunately, that is not the case for everyone. In a recent interview with you, I noticed that you encouraged pro-cure bloggers to cease their activity. You said that they were portraying autism in an unfairly negative light. However, keep in mind that their children are likely in a very different situation than yours, and if these people didn't have access to blogs that were sometimes brutally honest about autism, they would feel very much alone. In "Autism: The Musical," Stephen Stills mentions that his son is unable to attend Crosby Stills Nash & Young concerts due to his autism. If your son was unable to attend your concerts, would you want that? And I'm not talking simply not attending a concert out of disinterest. That's fine for anyone, autistic or not. But many autistic people would love to go to a concert, but they simply can't due to their autism. Only you know the answer as to whether or not you'd be fine with your son being unable to attend your concerts, but I can say that if I was in your shoes, I would be heartbroken. I am not demanding that you change your views; I am just suggesting that you consider our viewpoints, and that you don't simply write us off as bigots or insensitive. I wish the best regards for you and your son in the future. Sincerely, Oliver M Canby

The AGUA Group

Last Saturday, I hitched a ride with my friend/neighbor Jonathan Mitchell to the AGUA group near my house in Westchester. I had never been in a room full of autistic people before so I didn't know what to expect. The results couldn't have been better. Many of these autistic people were quite a bit older than I am (around Jonathan's age) and at varying levels of functioning. And guess what? Not a single one of the supported neurodiversity. This proves what I believed all along: that the members of neurodiversity are not autistic at all, just attention seekers. In the case of one autistic man there, I complimented him on seeming normal, and he understood it to be just that: a compliment. Most members of neurodiversity would take great offense to being called normal, as for whatever reason they'd rather be autistic. Now, imagine if someone told you he'd rather suffer from cancer or AIDS than have a clean bill of health. See where I'm going here? Yeah, I think you do. Anyway, this was my first real life experience with actual autistic people, and it totally proves my point. Stay tuned for a forthcoming post where I call out a certain indie rock musician....

It's Been Three Years

I know this is a day late, but I just remembered that I've been running this blog for three years now! It's been an amazing run, and I must say that I truly love what I do, and I won't be stopping anytime soon. Even though I haven't been autistic since June of 2011 (and as a result I have a better life now, albeit still no ideal), the fight for a cure for autism will never end, until we obliterate each and every one of the last NDs remaining. As a normal person (albeit formerly autistic), it is my solemn duty to cure everyone of their autism, and to stop any ND from denying the cure they so desperately deserve. I've been here for three years, so here's to 100 more!

Jonathan Mitchell's Parents Came Over To My House

As Jonathan Mitchell is my neighbor now, we decided to do a neighborly thing and invite him and his parents over for a late afternoon tea. As some of you probably know, Neurodiversity still holds dearly to the "refrigerator mom" theory, which is that autism is caused by poor parenting, when we all know now that it is caused by vaccines. Many NDs (and they know who they are) have called out Jonathan's parents specifically to say that they caused his autism. I of course thought that was bullshit, but meeting Jonathan's parents has proven to me that I am right and neurodiversity is wrong. They are incredibly nice people, and they raised a helluva son in Jonathan. Hell, I wish my parents could've raised me like that. It was a pleasure meeting them and I know now that Neurodiversity is full of shit and should not be taken seriously.

I Am Phyllis Schlafly

In 1972, it was widely assumed that all women were in support of the Equal Rights Amendment, then a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution. The amendment had been drafted by suffragette Alice Paul, and the amendment's intention was to give women "equal rights." The feminist movement strongly condemned any woman who opposed the amendment, saying that they were being submissive to man and if they thought for themselves, that they would support the amendment. One woman who opposed the amendment was Phyllis Schlafly, as she felt it jeopardized her right as a woman to live in the home, support her children, cook and clean, etc. She stated that if the amendment passed, all women, whether they wanted to or not, would be forced to get a job, pay taxes, and even be drafted into the military. Several women stated that she opposed women's rights, whereas in fact she supported them: the ones I just mentioned. The liberal left tried as they might, but Phyllis Schlafly spoke loud and clear, and ultimately the Equal Rights Amendment was defeated. Nowadays, it is assumed that every autistic person opposes a cure. The ones who support a cure are tortured and marginalized. They have been equated to a Jew who loves the Nazis or a black who loves the KKK. They have been called sellouts, Uncle Toms, and human rights abusers. However the vast majority of autistic people, including myself, support a cure, and will not stop fighting until one is attained. The members of neurodiversity who try to say that I oppose autistic rights are incorrect; they are the human rights abusers as they try to deny me my most basic right as a human: to live a normal life free of autism. I support autistic rights, just as Phyllis Schlafly supported women's rights. When the liberal left hijacks certain terms and twists and turns them to fit their agenda, society fails to see the real picture. But Phyllis Schlafly didn't give up, and the ERA was defeated. I will not give up, and in the end every single autistic person will be cured and the members of neurodiversity will be thrown in jail for violating the UN Charter of Human Rights.

Alabama Is The Champions Again

Earlier this evening, the Alabama Crimson Tide won their 3rd BCS Championship in the past 4 years when they defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Experiencing this as a detached person on the West Coast is one thing, but if I hadn't been autistic, I'd have experienced it firsthand. Way back in 2009, as I was just about to start a normal high school, I had recently changed my mind about college and had decided to go to Alabama. However, as soon as I started in a normal school, I realized how autistic I actually was, so college was no longer an option. Having lost my virginity in 2011 made me no longer autistic from that point forward, but it wasn't retroactive, which means that before then I still was autistic. Even though I am normal now, I am now too old to attend college, and had I been cured of my autism at a younger age I would be in Miami right now enjoying the Tide's championship. Ironically, the Tide did not start winning until after I had already opted out of going, but even just knowing that they did stings tremendously. The only other BCS title during that period was won by Alabama's arch rival Auburn, it still would've been better had I been able to go to college as a normal person and not have been denied a cure due to the evilness of neurodiversity. Anyway, congrats to Coach Nick Saban on his championship. Roll Tide!
