I like this theory. It's half funny. And half absurd. And half true.
I don't really believe they're deliberately causing Autism, but I believe they are accidentally making it worse through the stupidity of the supposed "experts." They do everything they can to break your mind, and expect you to be greatful.
I want to believe that a revolution is possible. We just need the right leadership. I'd make a bad leader, but I think I could contribute.
I want to write a book. You wanna help? The working title is "The Angriest woman in America" or something like that. Reminiscent of a line from Malcolm X. (I love his attitude. I'm 52, white and female, so none of his specific issues really apply, but his attitude works for me.)
I say that we need someone like Malcolm to speak for the Aspie community.
The way I see it, as we are hopping along this road to enlightenment, I think that having more than one foot is a good thing. An obnoxious, angry Malcolm X-type to stir things up and get people's attention, and a Martin Luther King (and a few other voices) to pick up the pieces and smooth things over.
Can you picture a civil rights movement with only one, mealy mouthed spokesman, saying, "please master, be a nice person and let us go." Maybe if we all hold hands and think happy thoughts, the world will magically come to understand how brutal it's been, give up the status Quo and treat us as human beings.
It's like... After I read your above post, I went back to the book I've been reading. It's Tony Attwood's "Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome," chapter 9, page 242, about "weak central coherence." I suppose you would need to read a chunk of the book before this makes sense.
Anyway, he says that "the person can sometimes identify details and notice connections that are not perceived by others who have a different mental framework." What kind of crap is that? So how, Sherlock, do you think can I make these amazing connections if I have such a "weak central coherence"? Doesn't the central stupidity of that statement just jump out and smack you in the face? And if not, why not? Could it be that maybe I'm onto something, that I DO know what's going on, and that I'm just not good at explaining it TO SOMEONE LIKE YOU? Could it be that, if these so-called "scientists" would shut up and really listen for once, they might actually learn something?
I think that's the trouble. Genius is easy. Explaining it is hard. Something that comes to me in a flash would take an hour to explain, and no one has an hour to listen. If I can't put it in a sound bite, I'm not allowed to say it at all. But when I try to make it quick and simple, I sound like a lunatic and confirm what they wanted to believe anyway.
It's time someone told these half-wits the truth, in a tone that says we're seriously pissed off, but with clarity. It's complicated, so it would take a book.
(Did you follow any of that?)
