If you, like me, oppose their previous "professional" worship of "person with ______ " talk, read especially the paragraph including the words “Identity First": as this establishes that they now admit a variety of uses but will prefer "autistic person' to "person with autism" — http://www.autismdailynewscast.com/editorial-policy/ … <br /><br />AND (even more importantly) the “bullying perks”‘article has been COMPLETELY REMOVED from the Autism Daily News site. Its link now comes up “404” (nothing there), and it is GONE from where it appeared: the site’s Editorial section at http://www.autismdailynewscast.com/category/opinion/editorial/ — and likewise GONE from everywhere else on the site. There is no reference anywhere to it, anywhere on the site.KateGladstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062492442607584456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2849982230541474100.post-40977356654377108082015-10-19T23:05:53.236-04:002015-10-19T23:05:53.236-04:00Typical behavior analysis. The feelings of others ...Typical behavior analysis. The feelings of others cannot be observed, counted, manipulated, or controlled. So behavior analysts do not do empathy, doing to others what they'd have them do unto them, or putting themselves into the shoes of their victims.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05290809908009093063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2849982230541474100.post-55559475385999782822015-10-17T17:30:11.573-04:002015-10-17T17:30:11.573-04:00I sure wish I had some good answers. One thing is ...I sure wish I had some good answers. One thing is for sure - they are not getting away with it unscathed anymore. I do think the tides are turning in the favor of autistic voices. But like any civil rights movement, it is going to be a bumpy ride. As an allistic, I want to try to stay an ally and do what I can to help keep autistic voices louder than our own.

Now that this...Thanks, its very clear and accurate. Now that this woman has been so discredited by so many and by so many autistic adults, sharing histories and the wisdom earned on the personal costs of bullying over many years, what happens next? Its very clear that this woman's views are abusive, immature and misguided at least. Autism Daily Newscast has decided to stand beside her and has offered no response or apology to the adult autistic community and parents, a behavior that mirrors Autism Speaks long time strategy. The question arise now is: has Autism Daily Newscast had a profound change in who they really support and represent. In light of their falling out over deciding not to give support to autistic activists over abusive treatments in the Biomed and the Alternative and Cult treatment business ;ie McGAF and CDAutism. Is Autism Daily Newscast now going with the money and off-loading the Autistic Advocacy movement because there is no money in activism and more in creating platforms for anyone who fancies a career selling 'treatments and therapies' some unregulated or quack to parents of autistic children only. If this was the case, its understandable that continued contact with the out-spoken adult autistic population is basically going to be a pain in the ass for them. Is their continued silence a silent goodbye as in "F*** Off Already? I am wondering if its best to confront them and ask them to clarify this. What is the next step, do you think?Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925322878264240065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2849982230541474100.post-66044914621228477032015-10-17T03:03:21.545-04:002015-10-17T03:03:21.545-04:00Yep! :)Yep! :)Gleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17671758996746410949noreply@blogger.com
