So apparently vaccines cause autism, or thats what I’m being told. Apparently Jenny McCarthy was really right, and the government is really responsible for my autistic characteristics by poisoning me the vaccinations that should keep me safe. So what now?
I’m afraid the government may heard up autistic people and try to correct their mistake, as Autism can be passed from parent to child. I’m afraid they may take away my ability to have kids, that they may lock us up in an assylum to hide us from society, or even worse kill us.
They say that they may be able to correct our Autism, but Autism is one of the things that makes me who I am. It has shaped my life, and it is now part of me. Taking the Autism away is going to effectivley kill me. But why don’t they see that.
Where will they hide when they try to correct our Autism? Are they going to make laws so that they can force us to get our Autism corrected? Are they going to have the police heard us up? What are they going to do?
Yes – its just a hypothetical story.

Do you have autistic disorder or aspergers?
you know all the adds on your site are curebie links
well most of them anyway
This story gave me a heart atttack and I definitely hope it doesn’t come true.
Harold, fine if you wanna label and split us up lengthways and across, but don’t use these stereotypes to fool yourself to ignore the autistic self-advocacy, which is very well represented by individuals all across the spectrum.
For The Record I am diagnosed with a form of Autism called Aspergers Syndrome.
If you really believe what you are writing then I think it would be a good idea that you don’t have children, you are clearly not mature enough to handle them.
If there was a way to prevent even one child from suffering from autism but you think your own “autistic self-advocacy” is more important than preventing it then I am guessing there isn’t much help for you.
When it is your child who is struggling to talk and having to work twice as hard as other children to get half as far I think you would view the issue very differently.
MJ, when I used the therm autistic self-advcacy I was not reffering to myself, I wouldn’t even call myself an autism advocate, I refered to the advocacy organisations and sites that, unlike the tradition, let autists take part in their decision making.
For example:
The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network
Autism Network International
The Autism Acceptance Project
and
Wrongplanet.net
Autistics.org
Autism-hub.co.uk
And these genuine autistic organisations do not really agree with the skewed conception that you “suffer from autism”.
