[quote="Inventor"]Still, the money.

If they wanted to represent the broad spectrum of autistics, and they direct $10,000,000 a year in grants, a minor $100,000 a year to Alex Plank would be a show of good faith.

They seem to only be interested in corporate sponsers, and rich parents of autistic children.

I had heard of Autism, but until I came here, I never thought it applied to me.

Now I see it explains my life.

Wrong Planet is up 10,000 in the year I have been here. Many are discovering this information.

It changed my life.

Just by the 1 in 150, there are 2,000,000 in the US. I doubt that 5% of autistics know they are.

With 95% wandering around thinking it is just them, and they are strange, well I put down that load when I came here.

I do not see myself as AS, it runs deeper. So I am not talking about Autism Lite, Half Aspies, but real Autistics who are going through life not knowing.

Autism Speaks was no help, for they portray the view of Autism I had heard of, totally unfunctional.

Wrong Planet shows the whole spectrum, people like me, who do get by, but have had problems.

There are still several million people who are where I was a year ago, and no one but Alex is trying to bring them in.

The vast majority of people with autism do not know it, and are leading somewhat normal lives.

Your film could be a moment of discovery for them like Wrong Planet was for me, and many who cite Wiki, as their point of discovery.

I am involved in an Intellectual Property action. Expect to spend at least $250,000.

Copyright Law has an exemption for Fair Use, which allows for the use of a paragraph, a clip from a film, without permission. They are just asking you to give them weapons to use against us, and the money and political power are on their side.

Under Fair Use, you cannot withdraw. Once they have it, they can edit, and still credit you.

Alex is our Simon Bolivar, and you are being used by the CIA to make a report on the goals of the revolution. Still, there is the money, and for that much they will do what serves them, and destroy any challange.

There are many other places to market your film. Of course they would like to gain control of media, and here we have the most manipuative of professional fundraisers and some gullible autistics.

You cannot win, and you can do us damage.

Make your film, stay out of politics.

Burn it to DVD, sell it on Wrong Planet.

This is all new, we would like to know how you see us, and you would like our feedback, and together, we can get to the real issues, and you can make a much better film.

Autism Speaks was not going to give you money, we will.

They would not help in reaching a broader understanding, we will.

We are the inside story on autism, the one that only those who live there know.[/quote]
