Sensitive Topic Ballarat Autism blogger recieves death threat by American Anti-Autism blogger

I'll have to explain it to you elsewhere, as it involves topics that are controversial.

Thank you for the reply! Is there a private forum here - the VIP discussions (I am not a member but could join) or privately message me? I am new here & still trying to get familiar & up to speed with the functionality of this site. Thanks again!

"We Auties and Aspies need to watch each others backs. We've got a lot of enemies in this world from singular individuals up to big-name corporations like Autism Speaks and the Judge Rotenberg Centre."

I am new to this forum & to the community in general. When you have the time, would you mind please enlightening me ... what is up with Autism Speaks & why do you consider it an enemy? I am not disputing your characterization, I am merely mostly unfamiliar with that organization & am sincerely seeking knowledge. Thank you!

There are I think threads here about both organisations which should help fill you in. A search should pull them up. Sorry, I'm not sure how to post a link to them myself using the iPhone app.

Unfortunately, there's no private discussion - I don't think.
I'll try and find something.

I have done a thread about it, but it's a bit outdated now - https://www.aspiescentral.com/threads/why-autism-speaks-doesnt-speak-for-us.8352/

Yeah, I posted that on here - but thank you for the link anyway.

How can Canby hate something that doesn't exist at all in his limited mind? This is about as intelligent as an atheist who hates deities -- a paradox.

I don't think Gluyas should just shut up and leave it at that. In this and all other contexts, "peace" is just a cheap excuse for wimps who consider themselves too weak to stand their ground and fight for progress.
