She passes herself off as severely autistic, she's lying and now people are going to think that because people on the spectrum aren't as bad as a phoney that they must not be autistic at all.<BR/><BR/>-Non ElfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4153474524400281854.post-24399536821317189192008-03-03T04:47:00.000-08:002008-03-03T04:47:00.000-08:00I think everybody should keep on sitting back and ...I think everybody should keep on sitting back and not doing a damned thing but tsk'ing disgustedly until Baggs has her own daily talk show ("Ask Amanda"/"Ask an Autistic") and is a multimedia marketing bonanza selling shitloads of CDs and books and having big screen movies made about her.<BR/><BR/>Lets wait until she's singlehandedly put the disability rights movement back 100 years, caused millions of autistics to be denied treatment and services and as a direct result of her, to spend lives lost in institutions before anybody finally decides to do a f*cking thing about it.<BR/><BR/>Lets all have blind faith that 'oh it won't get that bad' and 'somebody else'll put a stop to it surely before then' (and not think about any examples from history that likewise demonstrate the truth that 'evil triumphs when good men do nothing')<BR/><BR/>Yeah that's one hell of good a plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4153474524400281854.post-23432666386921863792008-03-01T18:04:00.000-08:002008-03-01T18:04:00.000-08:00CNN.

Amanda Baggs may or may not be in on the conspiracy. She may simply be benefitting from it. I am convinced at this point that she is a major psycho.<BR/><BR/>This is what I see.<BR/><BR/>Children are poisoned with expensive vaccines, drug companies make a fortune and governments do not have to answer for the damage or pay for treatments because the ND, Amanda Baggs, Michelle Dawson crowd of "would-be" disabled people claim they do not want a cure and therefore no vaccine damaged child wants a cure. One day all the truly autistic kids whose parents are now dead will be adult autistics, warehoused out of the way. Those like Baggs and Dawson who are in fact not disabled at all will get on another bandwagon and get on with their lives.<BR/><BR/>The drug companies and the governments will get away with killing and poisoning kids.<BR/><BR/>You are right that major news outlets who are giving Baggs a platform can influence millions of people. I almost believed Baggs myself at one point.<BR/><BR/>When will the insanity end?<BR/><BR/>Drug comapanies need to stop making kids sick and governments need to stop allowing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
