That they did advocacy for all groups. Which is true, for a autism group they only spent about 20% of the meeting on autism. The rest was.. well, lets put it this way. I was first shamed for being white. Then at another meeting I was shamed for being male. Then shamed for being Cis-gendered. They are just a SJW group run wild. But it gets better. At the last meeting I went to I was shamed for having aspergers. I was accused of being a "aspie elitist". I said I had aspergers because that is what my diagnosis is. Why would I lie and say anything else. Can you imagine that? I was shamed for having aspergers at a ASAN meeting. And from a group that claims to support autistic people. How messed up is that? When I tried to support my phrase, the co-leader of the group, a self-proclaimed self-diagnosed person with a blatant personality disorder, basically threatened me with violence. With support and acceptance like that, who needs enemies. They're a mess.

There were some others, but I can't recall off the top of my head, you can easily find the rest by looking at their 2014 990 form which I linked to in the post. One interesting point is that a minor portion of their revenue, a little over 12 grand, came from membership dues. This means that if the minimum membership due is about 30 something bucks and every single person gave the minimum (which seems unlikely) they don't have more than about 400 dues paying members in all of the united states and canada where they have some chapters. Does not seem like a huge membership for an organization whose CEO made more than $80,000 in 2014 and their membership revenue was lower than in 2013, and Ne'eman still raised his own salary by about 17%. He probably makes close to $100K now. jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972394536850151087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-70357195195410147722016-04-23T20:00:51.119-07:002016-04-23T20:00:51.119-07:00Who is giving ASAN those funds?Who is giving ASAN those funds?......I'm Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386324013172993426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-88713424198825029012016-04-07T04:44:05.499-07:002016-04-07T04:44:05.499-07:00I suppose that means that Mark Rothmayr deservers ...I suppose that means that Mark Rothmayr deservers his worth 400.000 plus then....<br />For what?. For lightening up in blue all kind of buidings on this side of the Athlantic, having small sports teams with blue shirts to raffle before the match, polititians with blue rods etc So autism is blue, that is over here right wing, and who can challenge that on the left or centre, they are disabled ? And the provisions for services for the true disabled particularly adults, is black.<br />The official figure of 1 per cent is the dogma of an ideologý which has no other purpose than to sell more autism under the theme of awareness but in actual fact is a tool for small deals and miserable business between politiians parents associations and operators, at times the three things in one bottle, and this backed up by proffesionals who want to sell ABA, and more antipsychotics at all costs even through practices of mobbing those who do not agree and looking to the other side when kids are bullied and excluded.<br />As far as I am concerned the only worng thing with Nee'man is that he does not come over here with a multi-colour campaign as efective as that of A.S. spinoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872247885782061716noreply@blogger.com
