A Reminder of my stance on Autism Politics - every one has a story to tell and the in a free democracy (and within moral context) should be able to express their views but when it becomes to being militant, political and nasty I dont want any part of it. We must take into account both stances in a balanced manner (their realities,experiences, thoughts and feelings) which is excellent but not militancy it will get people nowhere it makes others feel alone and wrong (for what ever reason) - lets just except both sides and be neutral and open our hearts that both sides have equal validity. Remember one group of people can not represent all (in any context), one person cannot represent one condition, one group cannot be self-righteous but what we can try and do is be The Journey to having Autism is diverse, complicated and very real for parents/carers and they have a right to express their reasons for how their child has come to have Autism. Open to the fact that people some with Autism (including my Father) have compacting health issues which can lead to serious complications, some people have metabolic, collagen, gut and cellular which is APART of their Autism Profile and can in turn have an impact on communication, sensory integration/processing. That Autism Processing includes - Agnosias, Apraxias, Aphasias are related to brain injury (just read about this conditions and see for yourself) and and some peoples trajectory to getting Autism is through brain injury. (but that is mine that anybody else) Some people with Autism have a Learning Disability which is to do with how people cognitively processing information (not a lack of something but that is how it is portrayed) - the lack of inclusion for people with Autism and an LD is a personal worry for me as inclusion for all should mean that they have views and opinions to which are equally valid. Some people with Autism have others ways of communicating (FC for example) their inner most thoughts, feelings and expressions which are equally valid in way in which they are expressing it and shouldnt be frowned upon or questioned as it is their way of communicating. So lets strip away all the politics from both sides and listen to each other. :-) I live in hope. :-) Taking a step back from this has be a relief and remember people on the spectrums personhoods never let them forget that. :-)
