Chronology and Pornography
A chronology and commentary of my book, Autism Pre Rain Man Autism -A book built on Temple Grandin's Thinking in Pictures.
Book Published 2003 by I-Universe Publishers Lincoln, Nebraska.
-Book was originally to be published by Autism Publisher Jessica Kingsly it was once loved and they promised to help with it. I was dropped like a hot potato when the obvious results of our Anthropology were found not to support the Rain Man Autism of today.
-Book was greeted with tons of hateful press and Email and I was even sent lots of Child pornography with the threat the mail would be forwarded on in my name. The only ones really knowing of my book were the insiders in Autism. Most of the hate mail could be traced to the West Coast of the United States near locations where a powerhouse in autism is likely to live.
-Some people that have read it love it and feel cheated that Autism never helped make it a better book or ever admitted to our populations of "regular functioning people"
- Dropped from the Autism Society of America Email newsletter list- perhaps I was quoting a few too many things? This happened after I asked them (again) to admit to us.
- Denied access to the Nashville Autism Convention in July 2005.
-October 2005 More hate mail, and more child pornography has been sent with the threat it will be forwarded on in my name. This might be in response to the announcement I was going to advertise my book In Psychology Today Magazine.
----------------------------------------------------
I would hate to think that the power and might of the Autism Society of America is responsible for this but, it seems they would have the most motivation for sponsoring this fowl behavior. Admitting to our anthropology will unintentionally change the face of autism a little too much for their comfort. It was never my intention to be a pain in the *** but knowledge and double-blind experiment results don't come along everyday. I urge the parents of the low functioning autistic people to support our cause as our odd thought process, once explained is most likely to help your son or daughter.
For the record our thought process has never been a text book before, and our anthropology has overcome and figured out our autism to a large degree. Many of us hold traditional jobs and drive and have familles. Many of us missed Rain Man's curse and we range in age from 80 something's to teenagers. We do the autism impossible EVERYDAY and many of us had a social booster in our lives and we learned most of live via our splinter skills.
I do realize and I'm most thankful for freedom of the press, but pure spite like this just a sign of a bigger problem in Autism. Until all of Autism is accounted for far too many of us will forever be at the mercy of ignorance. Ignorance is the grandiose ideal that masquerades as a fact and even resembles a fact but in reality it has little to do with anything but the loudest voices. The more money and reputations at stake and the louder those voices will scream. Perhaps they are screaming at me with every hateful Email they send? (humor) Good thing I'm autisitc and don't pick up on social clues.
