Autism Was Easy!
AUTISM WAS EASY!
Long time readers and supporters of our Anthropology, know the trouble we have faced over the years trying to get Autism to admit to us. We Are NOT on this "kamikaze" battle for our own interests and we are not chipping away at the foundations of Autism in spite, we don't hold malice toward the current 'Autism Empire'. But, we do have a WONDERFUL LIVING ANTHROPOLOGY of people that HAVE FIGURED OUT AUTISM. Note, we did not cure Autism, we would never want to, we just figured out our 'gift' and use it everyday, just like every one on the Autism could if they had "eductions" like ours. All of Autism needs accounted for not just the stuff that make the status quoe happy. It just so happens our long term "study" isn't exactly what people in the field are wanting to hear about. We can't change our facts and the Quality aspect of our Anthropology but, Autism can see to fit to ignore us like they have been doing for years now.
HELP 20/20? ( American TV News Show)
On 2-22-05 20/20 aired a wonderful segment on "Myth Busting" and they asked questions and got logical answers to questions, Like, 'Was Drinking 8 Glasses Of water a day really good for you?' 'Was drinking expensive coffee any better than cheaper brands?" 'Did Sugar really give you a sugar high?'
They found the sugar high was mostly false, a CHEAP Brand of INSTANT Coffee tasted the 'best,' and drinking all that water had no clear cut benefit. I wonder we could use the power and resources of 20/20 to bust a few myths on Autism? Alas, I'm not sure if even their producers and researchers and reporters could survive the backlash of the Autism Lobby once it did a piece on us. ABC news might survive, but on a more personal level we are on the wrong side of the Autism Time line. The invented Autism of recent times forgot us.
OUR OWN STUDY,
The following 4 year old "STUDY" are answers from Poll questions from our Anthropology's poll. Since then we have found and added 60-70 more members to our group. Please Remember ALL small studies have inherent troubles and even one answer can skew the entire picture. Take heart that most of us are LONG TERM in society real Aspies and we are from all over the world and the majority of us have never met in person but share the same autism and autism experiences. Just think IF a legitimate Study were ever done on us?

As we have grown over the years our age range now includes 70-80 something's. We now seem to have more younger people that were diagnosed in school. Generally, the younger folks don't do life like we do, few of them drive or hold traditional jobs. We seem to have lots of obvious to us Aspies (takes one to know one) that like many of us learn of Autism late in life and like realize we did something special in life. Most Psychologists (especially SSDI in America) will not give a DX as we do too much typically. (according to them). We find quite a few times even today people miss the Autism DX. When all is said and done the Transgendered who have handled Autism the best of ANY aspie population will give autism it's best insight.
