Push Poll Misinforming People About Autism

Post Reply New Topic

I work in an "opinion" (push)polling facility. Of course I can't tell you which facility because I could potentially get fired.

Basically, our work is misinforming people on "the issues". We do political surveys, customer service surveys and health care surveys. There are of course others like, we do surveys for that company you can do your taxes through online. Also, the UN and the NFL, but we aren't allowed to tell anyone that. Oh, and Hillary Clinton is going to be the next president.

Anyway, today we were doing a survey in North Carolina. The survey was about whether they should lump Autism into the same category as cancer, alzheimer's, cystic fybrosis, and diabetes. There were a couple of others, but I can't remember them at the moment. We were asking people if they thought that "doctor-ordered Autism treatment" should be added to the things covered by the health care whatnot that comes out of taxes.

The spectrum is different for everyone and can cause health problems because of stress and such. I get that people want to be able to go get diagnosed and have it covered and to be able to seek "treatment" as they term it. But I'm sure their (the mass brainwashed population of America) idea of "treatment" is sticking kids on various mind-numbing meds.

In the survey we were telling people very vague things about Autism. The script said that Autism is diagnosed within the first three years of life and that it inhibits a child's ability to communicate and have the pretentious social skills that are required to make it in this world. We mentioned nothing about adults on the Autism spectrum. All they talked about was that it was a "treatable disease/disorder" making it seem like it's something that just happens in the first three years of life and that it doesn't continue into adulthood. Basically, they were just making it all about the parents and the stress that the parents go through and how they need support.

It frustrates me so much. Americans think that they know everything about everything. I don't think that a person who is so automatic about talking to an organization they know nothing about on the phone has any right to say anything about Autism because they are obviously unaware of how deceitful the government is with their push polling and swaying (brainwashing) of opinions. I also don't think that an NT who can't pronounce the word "autism" correctly has any right to be giving opinions on the subject. I personally don't think that NTs have any right to be making any decisions when it comes to the subject, actually.

One of the women I got on the phone kept pronouncing "autism" "artism". I have very little pity for ignorant people. Especially when they think they know anything about what other people go through in their lives. I wish that Americans were not so self-righteous.

There is a part in the survey that is open ended and must be typed out verbatim. A lot of the time on this part people will hang up because the more you ask them to explain their opinion, the more frustrated they get because they have nothing to back up why they feel the way they do. They just say they feel that way because the news tells them to. But I got a guy on that open ended question and I asked him, "And what do you know about Autism?" To which he replied, "The children respond positively to Disney movies."

And that my friends, is America.

its not an american thing,its a general public thing,theyre god damned ignorant and dont give a sht who their ignorance stigmatises.

The only place I have witnessed is America. So, all I can say is that it is an American thing.

At my work when we call people who are from out of the country they are (for the most part) more informed/know when they aren't informed. Rather than most of America who just keeps on talking even if they know they are wrong.

Times like this make me not exactly all that "proud to be an American." It's not just this that Americans are ill informed about, no one really knows what's going on in the world at large. My mom went on an exchange trip to Argentina during high school. When she was flying back to the states she felt like she was flying over a brick wall, because in Argentina people actually knew what was happening in the world.
