Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hasn't it recently come out the Baggs is NOT ASD - that her difficulties were induced by liberal LSD use? Here are some blog links I recetly found, including one to Leitch's blog which apparently has "proof" that A. Baggs is not autistic, and therefore isn't really fit to speak for the ND movement. I couldn't find any hard proof of it though.

I especially like the last bit of the blog:"This establishes the fact that Neurodiversity and the Autism Hub of bloggers have engaged in a conspiracy to defraud the public as to the truth about autism. Their lawyer thinks we have no right to take the life Baggs has chosen for herself from her. How quaint. It is not just about Baggs.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 This isn't about A.B. perse, but considering how these ND (adults) are pretty much high functioning, is it possible that their "symptoms" for whatever behavioral disorder they possess are nothing more than toxicity of SOME kind -- whether liberal drug use, liberal psycho-pharma use, making leaded lamps for a living, mining silver in Mexico, applying pesticides for a living (the list can go on)??????They are truly "brain reactors" so it just depends what the trigger of choice (not so much choice) might be.just thinking about this Then again, if someone were with it enough to fake a condition for public attention, that is a sick game.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Jim - one of the things you mention: post-vaccine toxicity-wise --Starting about five years ago when the push was on for kids leaving sixth grade to get their next three Hep B shots, there were a series of 7th and 8th graders committing suicide in our school district. One kid was found in a local park having hung himself from a tree. I think that scared parents into watching their kids behavior -- but alas only to the point where they quickly put them on anti-depressants. Re: Today CNN Announces Coverage..

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 It's definitely possible for older kids and adults to have cerebral autoimmune reactions or viral reactions as a result of immunizations. I think I've mentioned cerebral lupus on this list? And the 53 year old woman who was written up in a medical journal because she had a flare and started to exhibit echolalia? Or my daughter's seizures after the mumps vaccine? And for a HFA person to have regression I don't think is unknown, either. Too many unknowns. And some psychiatric researcher in the 80s were trying out LSD as a treatment for schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. So I am not quite sure about B. I've seen some people get their brains pretty fried by " legitimate " prescribed psychiatric drugs as well. Excuse the non-technical term, " fried, " but it comes from a popular anti-drug ad.

It simply makes no sense to me that anyone would attack, trash, discredit or emotionally dismember a parent who is fighting and struggling to find a way to help their child. If she were TRULY AS she would applaud these people and want to be part of what they are doing. Someone who enjoys or fakes their "illness"....I believe they call that Munchausens? I don't believe she's even that sane. I think she's just a twisted freak that enjoys the upheavel she causes in this community.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Here are just 2 examples of how I’ve been attacked by the ND crowd. One spoke to my congressman and told him horrible things about me (made up of course). I work with my congressman on autism issues, he attends our Autism Conference every year, his nephew has Aspergers, I have done photography work for his office and I’m friends with some of his staff members. I know this all happened because the Nder went online and bragged about it. Another time I spoke at a major college in the area about autism and my son. The school paper did an article and one of the Nders read it online and wrote letters to everyone- from the newspaper, school, student group that hosted me, etc. It was embarrassing. Didn’t stop me. But, I had to explain to the head of speech therapists about the autism community and the Nders. I wanted to say to these poor students- run now while you can. I’ve also been attacked by other mothers— oh yes- many times. Many of them are anti-biomed and feel threatened. I expect these people, with no soul and so much hatred in their hearts that they must attack children, to go after my videos and blog- and attack the chelation and biomedical treatments that we do. But, when I have friends say “hey- I googled your name and I read this blog...” or when they are going after a relationship that could HELP the autism community as a whole-, etc. then they are getting in the way. Also, they don’t even think that my son may google his name one day and read what they wrote. Don’t they care about him? That’s the kid they are “fighting” against me for. I say F’em. We have bigger fish to fry. You’re nobody until someone tries to attack you. I feel sorry for them and don’t want to waste my time fighting back- because it’s pointless. No one REALLY cares what they think. Hard enough just to get people to understand autism, let alone the Nders. I’d rather spend the time working for my kid and all of the other families. - On 3/15/08 9:43 AM, " Sophia " <sophya_lauren@...> wrote: And that's exactly what I see this person doing.

I anybody else can, I (and Ginger ) would like to know Here are some links culled and text culled from emails I sent to Ginger: http://hatingautism .blogspot. com/2008/ 03/when-musics- over-amanda- baggs-and. html <http://hatingautism.blogspot.com/2008/03/when-musics-over-amanda-baggs-and.html> It's intersting, and the stories linked from the abobve blog, especially on (that I haven't read yet) on Keitch. I especially like the last bit of the blog: " This establishes the fact that Neurodiversity and the Autism Hub of bloggers have engaged in a conspiracy to defraud the public as to the truth about autism. Their lawyer thinks we have no right to take the life Baggs has chosen for herself from her. How quaint. It is not just about Baggs. Baggs has been the publicity vehicle by which Neurodiversity has been able to make themselves heard. They have used her acting to convince the general public that nobody should try to cure autism. In all of Kathleen Seidel's attacks on Mark Geier, Deth, Rick Rollens, Generation Rescue and others, she has had Baggs as her Ace in the Hole to press the point that autistic people do not want to be cured, can not be cured and should not be cured. If Baggs' lawyer knows she is not autistic, certainly Seidel must know this. This establishes what I have said all along, that everything to do with Neurodiversity is a fraud.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 My time and energy are/have been/will be best spent on working WITH and FOR my children. Not against them. And I don't have two minutes for these people. Let them play their own game. I often wonder what motivates those who are always ready to throw someone under a bus. My training screams ABUSE in the highest level (no details necessary). I have been exposed to parents of children with many serious disorders aside from autism. I can honestly say there have been VERY very few that would not go to the ends of the earth to find, secure or afford something...ANYTHING.... that would benefit their child. Parents who truly care do NOT turn a blind eye or deaf ear to something that could possibly improve their child's life. And the motivation of those that could simply makes no sense. I truly don't believe the ND are simply autistics that love their condition. I think they are severely twisted and disturbed beyond remediation and they can take this statement and bash me and it any way they choose. Let's put a few of them under "examination" by a group of professionals and see what we turn up. When you turn a trashcan upside down, all the garbage usually hits the street, lol...... Sophiachristine <christine@...> wrote: Here are just 2 examples of how I’ve been attacked by the ND crowd.One spoke to my congressman and told him horrible things about me (made up of course). I work with my congressman on autism issues, he attends our Autism Conference every year, his nephew has Aspergers, I have done photography work for his office and I’m friends with some of his staff members. I know this all happened because the Nder went online and bragged about it.Another time I spoke at a major college in the area about autism and my son. The school paper did an article and one of the Nders read it online and wrote letters to everyone- from the newspaper, school, student group that hosted me, etc. It was embarrassing. Didn’t stop me. But, I had to explain to the head of speech therapists about the autism community and the Nders. I wanted to say to these poor students- run now while you can.I’ve also been attacked by other mothers— oh yes- many times. Many of them are anti-biomed and feel threatened.I expect these people, with no soul and so much hatred in their hearts that they must attack children, to go after my videos and blog- and attack the chelation and biomedical treatments that we do. But, when I have friends say “hey- I googled your name and I read this blog...” or when they are going after a relationship that could HELP the autism community as a whole-, etc. then they are getting in the way. Also, they don’t even think that my son may google his name one day and read what they wrote. Don’t they care about him? That’s the kid they are “fighting” against me for.I say F’em. We have bigger fish to fry. You’re nobody until someone tries to attack you. I feel sorry for them and don’t want to waste my time fighting back- because it’s pointless. No one REALLY cares what they think. Hard enough just to get people to understand autism, let alone the Nders. I’d rather spend the time working for my kid and all of the other families.-On 3/15/08 9:43 AM, "Sophia " <sophya_lauren > wrote: And that's exactly what I see this person doing. It simply makes no sense to me that anyone would attack, trash, discredit or emotionally dismember a parent who is fighting and struggling to find a way to help their child. If she were TRULY AS she would applaud these people and want to be part of what they are doing. Someone who enjoys or fakes their "illness"....I believe they call that Munchausens? I don't believe she's even that sane. I think she's just a twisted freak that enjoys the upheavel she causes in this community. That's a much deeper level of illness and it's not of a physical nature <wink>..... Seems to me she's always 2 seconds away from an argument. And it's usually with Best or the likes of him. Look at Leitch, who later admitted to being bipolar? That's a core symptom of those folks...always ready for battle.

This isn't about A.B. perse, but considering how these ND (adults) are pretty much high functioning, is it possible that their "symptoms" for whatever behavioral disorder they possess are nothing more than toxicity of SOME kind -- whether liberal drug use, liberal psycho-pharma use, making leaded lamps for a living, mining silver in Mexico, applying pesticides for a living (the list can go on)??????They are truly "brain reactors" so it just depends what the trigger of choice (not so much choice) might be.just thinking about this Then again, if someone were with it enough to fake a condition for public attention, that is a sick game. Re: Today CNN Announces Coverage.. Baggs a fraud ASD-person? I think Baggs is a fake. I have always thought she was making fun of AS people not in any way supporting them. Kind of like a sick game she was playing..... Another one off her meds.
