From Hillary 2008 website:
Disability rights are civil rights — the right to be treated equally. They are human rights — the right of all people to fulfill their God-given potentials. And they are an urgent issue for America — because America will never achieve our potential until all Americans can achieve theirs.
Now obviously we have come a long way in this country. But, we have our work cut out for us if we’re going to keep the promise that we should — that we will continue to work for a more perfect union that includes Americas. For the past seven years, it’s as though people with disabilities have been invisible to this President and his administration.
If you’re a child who can’t get the special education classes you need — you’re invisible.
If you’re a citizen who wants to vote, but the polling place doesn’t have the right equipment or the right help — you’re invisible.
If you’re a worker wants a job, but can’t find one that accommodates your disability — you’re invisible too.
Well, people with disabilities may be invisible to George Bush, but they are not invisible to you, and they will never be invisible to me.
This is a cause I’ve been involved with for throughout my 35 years.

There’s no epidemic …
There’s no epidemic, we just identify it now. ASD goes up with more awareness, other disabilities go down. Coincidence? Think not. I have 2 sons with autism, 2 brothers & a grandfather, all boys. My daughter’s typical. It would affect genders equally if it were not genetic.
M+E+R+C+U+R+Y = 13 …
M+E+R+C+U+R+Y = 13 V+A+C+C+I+N+E= 13
W+I+S+D+O+M= 11
I want none of the two!

1st Peter 2:21-24 “He whom committed no sin, bore our sins in his own body on the cross, so that we may live”
THEY make us suffer …
THEY make us suffer. there is nothing about aspergers innately which makes us suffer. they are inferior to us. kill em.
*laughs* Someone …
*laughs* Someone needs to find this speech and save a copy so we can show it to our children and their children years from now. I can just picture myself in 2030 or so with my hyperlexic grandchild sitting next to me in front of the screen.
“See this, my boy? This is from a time when people thought you and I were not human beings. This mean old lady thinks you are not a human being.”
Why should Kanner …
Why should Kanner syndrome be cured? Even if there were good arguments for curing Kanners, it wont just be that. Cures and prevention will impact ALL of us on the autism spectrum, not just the “low functioning” people with Kanners. By the way, Dr.Temple Grandin has Kanners. According to Dr.Grandin, if Nicola Tesla were around today, he would be diagnosed with Autism, not Aspergers. So some of these “extreme cases”, go on to do great things, like inventing the AC electricity.
That is funny, …
That is funny, because of all the professional psychologists whom autistic adults believe to know their butt from their ear about autism, not one supports the mercury theory. Not a single one.
But we find this is typical of ignorant normie Americans. Everyone is wrong except them, even when that everyone else happens to include a large number of people who have studied the question at great degree-earning length.
Let us not forget …
Let us not forget the mercury theory pushers have worked it all backwards. They offer us NO proof of their theories, they have NO controlled studies, and they have NO credible experts willing to testify on their behalf. In fact the people who do work WITH the autistic in order to further understanding denounce the mercury theory as junk science.
But curebies will bend over to pretend it is credible experts like Tony Attwood who have it all wrong, simply because Attwood will not back them up.
You obviously have …
You obviously have never been that child. As someone who has, I can tell you that actions do indeed speak louder than words. And Hillary’s actions, in publically endorsing a terrorist organisation that explicitly states its goal to be the genocide of those like me, are reprehensible. She is no better than the teacher who told my then friends “keep away from him, there’s something wrong with him” when I was a boy. The key, so to speak is different, but the tune is identical.
When your boy gets …
When your boy gets to be my age, he is going to hold posts like this one up in your face and ask you why you rejected him. I hope you have a better answer prepared than the sort my parents have so far come up with.
If you are thinking …
If you are thinking of supporting these people, then think about the following: if Diabetes America were to act so contrary to the interests and desires of diabetic adults, they would be stripped of their charitable status and disbanded. Yet Autism Speaks and apparently this “national Autistic society” are allowed to act in complete contravention of the will of the people they claim to represent without so much as reprimand. And you are surprised by our hostility to Hillary?
What the …
What the negationist curebies do not seem to understand either is that every autistic adult who is speaking out against the curebie movement was a child once, themselves. I think I trust my own judgement regarding what is best for any son or nephew of mine a lot better than some idiot who thinks we the knowledge of an autistic adult does not count simply because they do not appear to be profoundly disabled.
I was going to vote …
I was going to vote for Hillary until she decided I needed to be prevented right along with my kids or “Cured” from being me. Well the only thing she “cured” me from was from voting for her.
it will be smarter …
it will be smarter for her to launch an attack on mercury
Hillary is so …
Hillary is so ing hot.
So they work with ‘ …
So they work with ‘autism speaks’….
I urge everyone to find out what autistic individuals think about that organisation.
This epidemic talk …
This epidemic talk is garbage.
The vast majority of autistics are high functioning people you see in society every day.
20 years ago, NOT A SINGLE ONE of these high functioning autistics were diagnosed, NOT A SINGLE ONE. Only the pervasively disabled autistics were.
Don’t be stupid.
I’m autistic and guess what, I can both work as an engineer, talk, and drive.
In my participation …
In my participation in off and on-line autism support groups, it’s the parents who want the cure and the adult on the spectrum who doesn’t. I think we’re all thinking too far ahead. Prevention and treatment, in my opinion are what’s important-oh and services for adults w/autism-the forgotten ones.
“I have a daugther …
“I have a daugther with Autism”
we never said you didn’t.
“IT IS PROVEN that there is a link between mercury and autism.”
No, actually, it’s not. The 2000 paper called “Autism: a unique form of mercury poisoning” only stated that it would make sense to test the theory. The paper cites no study conducted that tests this theory.
“DO NOT criticize her about THIS”
Why should I not criticize someone for saying that she would prevent my birth if she had the chance?
Mercury is known …
Mercury is known toxin. I have no problem having it removed from just about everything.
However, that’s not what Senator Clinton was talking about. She was launching a campaign against Autism, not mercury.
It’s interesting to …
It’s interesting to note how parents of autistics tend to support a cure, whereas autistics themselves are more inclined to remain who they are. Perhaps it’s time for parents to stop telling their children what they’re supposed to want, and let them figure it out themselves.
There will never be …
There will never be a cure for autism, only treatments.
It drives me crazy …
It drives me crazy when people say stupid things. Okay, thats fine if you don’t like Hillary, but its weird because you were going to obviously watch a movie about her on here… right? im sure you didn’t click the link just to talk crap about a women you don’t even have a clue about. haha
I agree with you, …
I agree with you, but this is not the video you would probably want to post that on.
