Illusion of Competence: March 2012
http://illusionofcompetence.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

According to their 2010 annual report. 2) Autism Speaks talks about us without us. Not a single autistic person is on Autism Speaks’ Board of Directors. Autism Speaks uses damag...

Autie, 32, is a person who experiences a label of autism, but has overcome his disability and managed to do something.

AStrangerInGodzone: March 2014
http://strangeringodzone.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
A blog to explore my thoughts, feelings and opinions, mostly about Aspergers Syndrome/autism but also pretty much anything else that captures my attention. Monday, 17 March 2014. I’m impatient. I’m getting more and more fed up with the whole mess of autism attitudes ‘out there’, the entire public image. These same autism parents claiming that by giving those ‘treatments,’ they are ‘rescuing’ their children – the assumption being that just to be. Yet other autism parents, who think that their autistic chi...

The Vibrating Square: November 2010
http://vibratingsquare.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Half-Baked Ramblings of an Untoward Lady. Saturday, November 20, 2010. A Moment In Memory. How do you reconcile murder wrought of bigotry knowing that a person, someone's loved one, has been killed simply because someone else felt that they did not deserve to live simply because of who they were? How do you reconcile the murder of over 179 people. Just in the last year. How can you come to terms with the fact that many more never came to our attention? How is this acceptable? How is this understandable?

http://illusionofcompetence.blogspot.com/2012/07/disability-catch-22s.html
Sunday, July 8, 2012. This post was first published on the AAPD intern blog. So here are some things a lot of people don’t know about me:. About twice a month I walk in front of a moving car by accident. About twice a month I choke while drinking. 8221; or “I worked with this little girl who had Real Autism, and she was a choking risk because she had difficulty swallowing! 8221; And then they say “Clearly, these things never happen to you, because you can write a research paper.”.
