Time Of Autism

It is of my belief that autistic people are not broken or diseased but that instead that we exist in a different manner with many of us being aliens in the current world, by that I mean autistic people are not completely comptable with the world at this time. I believe that those who are on the mid to high end of the autism spectrum are most compatible with ancient times when mankind lived in close nit tribes instead of the monstrous societies that are so prevalent today and the reasons I believe this is as follows

1.) Often autistic people have an instinctual need for justice as they often see actions as either good or evil which prevents them from using the area in-between to justify detestable actions. So because everyone and their actions in a tribal community are so interconnected autistic people would have prospered because tribal communities  rewarded those who choose to behave while severely punishing those who chose not to with great accuracy because the fate of the community’s prosperity and very existence was at stake. Due to this ridged adherence to the rules and laws by the entire community it would mean that autistic individuals where only at a slim chance of becoming overstimulated due to being hurt by another individuals which is in contrast to the reality of what happens today.

2.) Though personal experience, talking with other autistic people, reading research and so forth I have come to understand that even when things are going well autistic individuals have more anxiety in their life than their neurologically typical counterparts and I believe that when we lived in tribes this proved to be of great benefit to autistic individuals. The reason autistic people’s heightened anxiety was of benefit to them was because even in their communities they were never truly safe from the threat of conflicts with animals and the destructive unpredictable forces of nature.

3.) The predominate type of socialization in tribes would have revolved around more in-depth relationships with individuals and it would have also revolved around people’s professions which is consistant with how many autistic individuals prefer to socialize.

4.) Because the survivability of individuals and the entire community was dependent upon people working, autistic individuals would have for the most part been left alone to do their work in peace.

5.) Autistic individuals often work obsessively until something is finished which would have allowed them bring in more food, make more items such as baskets and so forth.

6.) Autistic people have a tendency to be problem solvers by nature which would have been very helpful as such people have a tendency to come up with new ideas, and create new tools to deal with problems.

7.) Autistc individuals by nature are obsessive on topics that are of intrest to them they memorize all they can about the topic and this would have been benificial to autistic people in the tribal times in helping them become masters of their trade and also if they choose to become spiritual leaders or healers.

8.) Autistic people are almost always hypersensitive to light touch which would have allowed them to more easily prevent parasites such as ticks from damaging their bodies because it would be easier for them to detect such threats faster.

9.) Autistic individuals notice details visually more efficiently than NTs which would have allowed them to see dangers that other people wouldn’t have seen and it would have given them advantages in fields that demanded great attention to detail such as weapon making, hunting, leather working weaving and so on.

10.) Autistic individuals sense of hearing is very sensitive and non-selective which would have allowed them hear predators and prey alike faster.

11.) Autistic people’s sense of smell is also very strong this would have allowed them to detect dangers such as fires and predators faster as well as help in detecting prey.

12.) Autistic individuals sense of taste is very sensitive to the point which would have allowed them to taste posions at lower concentrations than other people, and it would have allowed them to enjoy their food more because they could taste it better than others.

Shield For The Unjust

I often visit youtube to upload upload videos, see what my friends have posted, sometimes watch a episode of full metal alchemist however a about a week ago I became of a video entitled “I Am Autism by Alfonso Cuarón and Billy Mann” which within the first minute made me sick. When I started the video I was expecting a run of the mill Autism Speaks video that implied autistic people are not quite human, instead I was greeted with one of the most sicking, vile, hateful videos I have ever had the misfortune to see. I tried several times to watch the entire video and to date I haven’t been able to do so however every time I watch the video my mind starts thinking of my social studies lessons from when I was in school about world war two, the pictures of those tortured and killed and also about the movie “The Boy In The Stripped Pajamas”.

I know that people often get ahead of themselves by comparing certain groups and organizations with the vileness of the Nazis in order to prove a point, however I believe it is appropriate to compare the propaganda the Nazi’s used before they started using genocide against certain groups to the propaganda Autism Speaks uses. One of the things that is critical to remember is that people in Nazi Germany didn’t go from respecting and tolerating people to despising and hating them enough to justify in their minds and hearts extreme mistreatment, torture and mass genocide overnight, their beliefs changed slowly over time due to the manipulation from the core of the Nazi party.

Autism Speaks is the equivalent in terms of role to the Nazi party core since they are the primary force using dehumanizing, hateful, derogatory, discriminatory language and methods to “promote autism awareness”. Autism Speaks has said and done many horrible things.

1.) They have said that autistic people are soulless

2.) They have said that autism is worse than pediatric AIDs, Cancer, Diabetes put together.

3.) They have said autistic children are the cause of their parent’s divorce and financial problems.

4.) They used childhood Leukemia as a way to manipulate people by basically saying look at all the money the childhood Leukemia research is getting yet more children are afflicted with autism and there is hardly any money to cure autism.

5.) They threatened an autistic girl who used the Alias Abscout with legal action because she made a Parody site of Autism Speak’s official site.

6.) They manipulate people into donating money and doing walks to generate money yet most of that money doesn’t go to help autistic people or their families it goes to stuff like paying 36 of their employes over $100,000.00 with several making over $200,000.00, with Geraldine Dawson making $669,751.00.

7.) They don’t have any autistic people working in a management positions and it is doubtful any autistic people work for them period, it is nothing but Nerotypical people claiming to speak for autistic people.

8.) Susan Wright one of the founders of Autism Speaks said that “We’re now playing catch-up as we try to stem the tide and ultimately eradicate autism for the sake of future generations. If we continue our current trajectory, we’ll get there in my lifetime.”

One of the saddest things is that while Autism Speaks has done so many horrible things people, organizations, even governments turn a blind eye to their morally corrupt actions because they are caught up in the appealing yet poisonous rhetoric that autism speaks uses to obtain support and money. One of these organizations is Youtube, what is special about Youtube is that they allow Autism Speaks to reach out to manipulate people’s feelings, thoughts and emotions like no other organization can do because of Youtube’s popularity and ease of you. In doing such Youtube like others disregards their own rules that are in place to protect people in order to allow Autism Speaks free reign to do as they please without fear of punishment. These organizations, people and governments that behave as Youtube does are enablers and through their actions are shields that protect the unjust actions of Autism Speaks. It is sad to think about but Autism Speaks and their enablers cast an illusion that Autisitc individuals are being helped when in fact beyond the illusion they are worse off than when Autism Speaks wasn’t around.
