Most "pro aspie" groups are also retarded. Their leading quarters consist mainly of NTs stigmatizing aspies more instead of aspies speaking for themselves.

Heh, I always hate those patronising goody-goody coordinator types myself too. I sometimes honestly wonder if some are doing it just to exert some kind of authority/superiority over other people, under the guise of appearing "charitable".

They are usually run by over bearing , over protective,  people who want to control people and  have nothing better to do.  Their spouses are the ones who make the money in the family and are never home so they do it to feel important and to fill the time while hubby is off cheating with his sectary

Pandora told me about this lady on Facebook who still lets her 8 and 5 year old kids suck dummies and posts pictures of them. She gets really pissed off seeing kids that old with dummies and had a big fight with mum last time she visited because of that subject. That was after mum said I had one for a long time.

Anyway, she hates seeing even younger kids with big clunky ugly dummies and tells me it makes her feel sick to her stomach. This woman on Facebook obviously seems oblivious to how her kids' teeth are getting pushed out of alignment or how they look like dweebs, particularly the strapping 8 year old who is as big as most 10 year olds.

^An 8 year old with a dummy? That is definitely not right, a kid that age doesn't need one, they are for babies.
Most "pro aspie" groups are also retarded. Their leading quarters consist mainly of NTs stigmatizing aspies more instead of aspies speaking for themselves.
The group I go to is run by non-autistics and I don't mind.

Would you like a black civil rights group to be run by whites, if you were black? Would you like a gay right group to be run by outspoken heteros, if you were gay? Don't think so.

Depends on how you define the situation. If you were blind, would you have another blind drive you somewhere or would you choose somebody with his vision intact?

I think AS is a disability, not an ASD rights movement.

We're "colour-blind" at most.

Schizophrenia is a disability. DAWN's is a disability. ("Light") AS is merely a statistically "anomaly" than a dysfunction. Our greatest "fault" is that we're not herd animals, and that we like things done in or own way.

It is kind of different since being black or gay isn't being disabled. At the group I go to, people are disabled by their autism and I don't think we could all get together and organise future group meetings and venues without outside help.

I am going to the group this coming Friday and it is meant to be about looking for a job that is relevant to skills and interests. Doesn't really apply to me but I am going anyway.

I can be on here because you guys are flexible with my busy schedule.

A parents' group would probably meet after 6 PM, when the other parents are done with work, and I would need to get a sitter, which is nearly impossible to do for my daughter.
