67 comic book
In another long ago and not so far away ideal of autism, Old time discpline did wonders in helping people overcome autism. The illustration above is from a book called Fun with Peanuts by the late Charles M. Schultz. This book was published in 1967, I started school in 1966 , well before Rain Man and the modern autism. Even our comic books had an element of reality and good behavior to them. All of this helped many of us that have overcome autism do autism as well as, we do.
Modern Autism screams it is the Autism and not the child as they try to explain reasons for bad behavior and perhaps a few reasons to prescribe a few pills. Modern autism doesn't seem all that happy unless the kids are (saying) 'fat drunk and stupid,' meaning on drugs. A population on drugs certainly makes it easier to mold modern asipes into the perfect aspie that is suitable for study. If everyone is drugged up and unproductive it also goes a few miles in promoting the ideal of autism being a dreadful helpless condition. Granted it might be the autism and not the child but, there is a child in every autistic and the two as our anthropology illustrates are connected. You control the bad behavior with honest discipline standards and you also control 3/4 of autism's bad behavior. A time out is basically worthless in the developing mind of an aspie a few whacks are needed occasionally it is no wonder we have people today that are not toilet trained or graduate from school not being able to read.
To make matters even worse Modern Education is more of a baby sitting position (no offense to the dedicated teachers) as modern autism assumes are dumb as a sack of rocks and indeed we present that way. BUT keep in mind in the old days and in a few cases of modern times some of us are lucky enough not to be diagnosed and thus we are given the chance of actually grasping some of our invisible to you autism thoughts and from there we can start connecting real life autism thoughts to real life. Modern Aspies never get that chance. As modern autism screams eye contact they have no idea our lack of eye contact IS the best signal ever of working autism and while our eyes are off we are thinking in our natural to us thought process.
I can't help but wonder if that at the least some of autism research is more concerned with their own corporate welfare and their own careers? If they really cared about autism and its people they would have kept on investing their effort on our anthropology and learned our working version of autism. I suspect it is far easier to do a few studies on guinea pigs that are predrugged and molded to suit the current epidemic standards than to actually listen to autism's best performing populations? Everything they prescribe drugs for has an explanation in older working autism. It is easier and more profitable to do the Rx rather than try to figure our group of people that has figured out a few things. The hardest thing to explain is how we did so well and without the aid in many cases of Buzzword Autism developed after Rain Man changed the face of autism from hope to despair. Just how many researchers are and were expecting an uncritqued career spinning their wheel researching autism? From modern autism's point of view we are too "dumb" to have figured out our very own never in print before thought process and we certainly have the wrong message and are not powerful enough to over come the autism empire of today. They will not stand for us, we are bad for their business. Speaking of our success you, reading this on your computer, is a result of Autism: Alan Turing,(1912-1954) was father of the computer and autistic as well. Please keep that in mind and realize Autism, modern autism is normal thinkers trying their 'best" to figure out what has never been in a text book before, they will look long and hard and never see the point to autism unless they listen to us and discover our thoughts. They will be horrified to learn that our thoughts are too complicated and need watered down and not as they assume too stupid, to be anything smart. If they care to listen we can show them the secrets in getting our thoughts converted to yours.
