Yep, people with autism can be spotted by their 'honest', their lack of interest in others, their inability to listen to a conversation and so much more. <br /><br />Please read blog post in link below and feel free to comment or make your concerns known to the charity Autism NI in Belfast. We don't need any more stereotyping. P.S. Love your blog!! <br /><br />http://autismnorthernireland.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/wheres-waldo.html<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09451036070557175090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-55151331286050479842014-11-16T20:48:32.096-08:002014-11-16T20:48:32.096-08:00prisoner with autism, serving life w/o parole, wri...prisoner with autism, serving life w/o parole, writes a blog: paulmodrowski.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-91103247869635387022014-11-13T13:30:37.238-08:002014-11-13T13:30:37.238-08:00The Seinfeld-Descartes Autism Diagnostic Tool:

I have a non-verbal child with classical autism and I am disheartened by the stridency of these neurodiversity advocates all over the net. A parent with a severely autistic child with seizures (my child has those too) has a blog and he commented similarly about the Seinfeld story. A group of these neurodiversity sorts have flooded the comment section with really offensive and ill-informed diatribes and advice. They suggest that the parent try facilitated communication and brand him as someone who thinks his child is "broken." You know the rhetoric. They seem to be incapable of understanding that we are caregivers whose children don't have the desire to pursue communication as they do; that is a reality of the disorder for some. Of course, we have tried it all and heard it all. They aren't delivering any sort of revelation to us and actually reveal that they have had little to no meaningful contact with severely autistic people.<br /><br />I find them obnoxious. They are bullies and high-functioning enough to do something about it if they would (highly doubtful as their identification seems to give them license to say whatever they want to with no authority at all). <br /><br />Whew! Thanks again. I don't believe that Seinfeld is on the spectrum at all, but I do like him better than some of these advocates..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
