I Am Autism - The War On Autism

Post Reply New Topic

Wallourdes someone claiming to have A.S told me the aspie perspective was against the medicalization of autism and A.S. He told me I was ignorant and so on. This sort of aspie politics without the adoption of mainstream scientific acceptance just entices me to conclude it is a political groups perspective. Should it be rationalized both aspie social clique politics and insults should be left out of the discourse. My understanding just from a PR stance is the nature of pathology tends to conceptualize concepts as diseases by default. Therefore it is a matter of self-esteem and not mainstream opinion per say that is connotative of insult.

Awareness can be split off from disorder awarenesses and with concern to inclusion awareness and developmental disabilities in general I follow the law by the letter. Dignity prevails and difference is just difference. To say autism is not a disability derives attention to special interest that do not wish to help people with substantial disabilities. So the ego complex while not obviously causing problems to preserve the self-esteem can do damage to other kinds of awareness that seek to improve quality of life.

This is my assessment and by it's nature fractions off into mainstream politics.

Emotions are facts as well. I believe dignity is the law is what I'm saying least in California under the Lanterman Act. Also with regards to autism whether or not it is a disease ultimately does not dictate how dignity is standardized. There might be unwritten rules of how public discourse should be but ultimately it might end up being a cultural matter on how society perceives "disabilities" and the subsequent classifications.

This issue is mainstream political in indirect manifestations. If this comes down to reducing and or removing accommodations for employment or treatments in root it is no longer a scientific issue but a purely socio-political and mainstream cultural issue.

Just a bit of warning.

I think it's funny but yes such a diverse politic can manifest adversity and variant politics. One human mind is one thing but many is like the complexity of the universe but even more complex perhaps. It is fascinating but I don't think anyone is going after anyone.

Why do people have to be so stuburn and relentless over silly words (pride-mites).

Wikapedia:

Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease. The word pathology is from Greek πάθος, pathos, "feeling, suffering"; and -λογία, -logia. Pathologization, to pathologize, refers to the process of defining a condition or behavior as pathological, e.g. pathological gambling. Pathologies is synonym with diseases. The suffix "path" is used to indicate a disease, e.g. psychopath.
Medical Pathology, Veterinary pathology and Phytopathology are the study of anatomic, biochemical or microbiological diseases. The related scientific study of disease processes is called general pathology. Psychopathology is the study of psychological or mental diseases.Medical pathology is divided into two main branches, Anatomical pathology and Clinical pathology. Veterinary pathology is concerned with animal disease, whereas phytopathology is the study of plant diseases.

Conceptualizing everything as akin to a disease like in my thinking is how I view the world. It's just a word.

I will assess the responses with other research and take all relevant matters into equal consideration. Recommendations will be issued and a judgement will be made that adheres to both standards of dignity under the California law model and as well as adaptations with needed treatments (cures) and full analysis of the abortion and special interest issues socio-politically in context to mainstream politics. Folks the half-truths, propaganda, bull poopy arguments and so on is coming to an end for the good of those with substantial disabilities.

I still hope Molecular_Biologist will respond to my post. Maybe it will help the topic.

Ok here is the judgement.

Justice is served... And so on..

*enters un-PC, non-objective mode* ci, you should learn a bit about this thing called "thinking outside of the box".

I have only achieved by thinking outside of the box. So far that I need to come back and get lost in my thoughts.

lol you replied before i could delete the post, i got a little annoyed that's all.

I think both sides has their strenghts and weaknesses. The biggest problem is that curebies and aspie advocates are talking about different things. For a curebie, eradicating autism frequently means eradicating physical disease (like eliminating some dietary elements, removing heavy metals), or replacing maladaptive/disruptive behaviors (which parents or other people are responsible for creating in the first place, not autism itself). Nobody should disagree that we should eradicate those. But for an aspie advocate, this is not curing autism, as it doesn't change the differences in any way, just remove comorbidities.

The fault is really psychiatry's, that has defined such a monstrous critter like AS and Autism, which is a pity mix of a personality type (what aspie advocates talk about), the problems the personality-type creates in a non-accepting environment (which curebies primarily want to cure), and physical issues that just happen to be related to autism (the medical aspect).
