She hasn't responded to your callout thread. Time to let it go.

Do you think Amanda Baggs is a fraud, Spokane Girl?

She is a member here, although she has not posted much.

I don't see how she can possibly be a fraud.  That sounds like something that John Best guy would say.

Didn't he hound her into actually posting her diagnosis papers on the internet?

[Natalia Evans]

No I don't think she is a fraud. But I used to question it because I was seeing all this controversy so it made me wonder. People were claiming they knew her in college and she was talking and all and then someone posted a link to her medical records so that cleared up all the confusion. But people still think she is a fraud despite that they have seen them and their excuse is "fake" "bogus" I don't bother arguing about it with those people, all I do is just post the link to her records and that's it. People will believe anything.

Yes Baggs did post her records because of Best and people were believing him. I didn't believe him until other people started saying they knew her and all from their childhood and she was verbal so it was very confusing, I didn't know what to believe until I saw those medical records.

She detracts from our cause about as much as Autism Speaks.

In that she makes us look like spoiled children for one and whines a lot about how horrible it is to be an Aspie. Also, she like many others is busy wasting time and media publicity fighting a cure, where as ideally we need people fighting to improve our lives, by persuading society to make some small (and often mutually benificial) changes to accomodate us.

A cure really isn't a threat atm and if it happened, it really wouldn't be that difficult to deal with. There are far bigger risks out there for us - like getting lynched if things go really against us.

I definitely agree with you about the cure because autism is too complicated for anyone to figure out. So to improve our lot that we have now makes absolute sense.

Good for her.
