This is offensive on many levels.

It also reaks of trying to build "common ground" to expand membership.

Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe this really will change curebies minds and

such, but I tend to doubt that.

I am all for dialogue, but whatever common ground lies between those two, it

is more likely to be dividing the turf between two rival gangs.

[EDITED BY MODERATOR: Please remember to clean up your posts.]

First off GRASP is not the largest organization. It has more professional

and parents on its lists than anything else.

It is funny how autism speaks feels comfortable with him

We got it done. Happy reading. Remember that

Is there any way of contacting Alison?

I mean, not that I expect genuinely to change the mind of someone who's said

for a national audience that she's thought about killing her kid and only

didn't do it because she had a non-autistic kid, but I have a website I want

to show her.

The following was my message to her (did not want to complicate the whole

thing by explaining my position on the matter):

Anyone else notice that Alison has nothing positive to say about her

kid?

Maybe that's what the difference between LFA and HFA is. Whether or

not the parent likes stuff about their kid.

Sorry about that - sent this to the wrong address.

Dear Jypsy,

I saw this too - I find it concerning. I'm in the process of starting a

different non-profit group to better represent the views of the autistic

community. I would be deeply honored if you could be involved. Please let me

know if you'd like to learn more.

Regards,

Ari
