Nathan, it's difficult to reply rationally to your initial post when you have, in fact, given nothing to reply rationally to. I'm pretty sure we've all heard lots of John Lennon songs by now, so simply linking to one with no accompanying commentary is meaningless in a modern context (had YouTube existed in 1973, the link itself might have said something; not so much in 2010). You then provided a disjointed ramble about the word "war" and something you termed "Autism Hippies", without ever defining the term.
Let's be honest - the troll pic was as good a response as you had any right to expect. If you want to initiate a discussion of an issue, you must first make a clear statement on that issue, then define any terms you have invented to represent one position or another. And, of course, it would help if you were to take a position on which reasonable people can disagree, and thus spur discussion - "some people say 'war on autism'" is a mere factual statement, and thus one with no reasonable contrary position. The judgment on whether this is good or bad might be a basis for discussion, although I doubt you'll find many people on WP willing to defend the "good" side of that argument.

Friendly political fire in the autism community is not friendly fire at all.
Rationally there is something called supportive employment and day social service inclusion. It is likely most people on W.P do not qualify for this sort of government social service in the first place. I don't think it's about rationality but getting along which may be irrational to expect. People fill there time at times getting angry, becoming despondent, protesting and slandering organization for something to do
over simple words. Meanwhile the pride advocates in this consistent threat to those with severe disabilities whom depend on these organizations progresses offer no credible alternatives nor promote or facilitate the alternatives. Rationally to be fearful over the destructive agenda which has been persistent for many years or uncertain of people who bash as a sport is a atypical autism pathology of figuring out
where danger is.
If on W.P there is no innovation just as an example I won't in the future bother with the self-advocacy movement. Some experts say self-advocates will be the solution. I am a self-advocate but I am not sure yet if I agree with the experts other then for a few self-advocates.
