Here is a list of other enemies of the Autism community and the brief reasons why;
AGE OF AUTISM
Propaganda website that promotes itself as a news site about Autism and promotes it as caused by vaccines.
ANDREW WAKEFIELD
Disgraced former doctor who falsified work behind a study that found that the MMR vaccine caused Autism. He was banned from medical practice in the United Kingdom and moved to the United States to continue his promotion of the unreliable study.
AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL REVIEW
Australian based propaganda website that also promotes itself as a news site. It is laced with conspiracy nonsense, including claims that vaccines cause Autism.
CARLA PATRIQUIN
Canadian mother of a CSN Autistic who swears by ABA and won’t be talked out of it, even by an expert in the field. She is risking her life using it as it is a bullying mechanism that Autistics could (and have) strike back against at any given moment. She sees a cure in similar terms to Jonathan Mitchell and believes in the non-existent regressive Autism, and also slandered the late Steve Silberman claiming he denied the existence of CSN Autistics when he did no such thing.
(Note – this is NOT about the Carla Patriquin who works for the Ministry of Health in Canada)
CHILDREN’S HEALTH DEFENCE
Another anti vaccine group that also claims vaccines cause Autism. It was founded by Eric Gladen, but it was chaired by Robert F Kennedy Junior from 2015 to 2023 and is the base of his actions as US Health Secretary under the Donald Trump administration.
CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS
A bogus organisation that is directly related to the Cult of Scientology, and pushes Autism (the entire Spectrum) as fantasy and not real.
DAVID ANDREWS
British Autistic now based in Finland who believes there is no such thing as neurodiversity (as proven by his contempt for Neurotribes), believes that the spine is a brain by itself in effect, supports ABA, and has in effect betrayed his own people. He has no qualifications in psychology at all (they are in education – behaviour analyst is not a psychology qualification – and applied science) and yet claimed higher qualifications than someone who does (and isn’t even registered to prove that!). He has reacted to this section by abusing me instead of actually addressing it. And I blocked him first for the record and he simply blocked me back.
KAREN RODMAN
Founder of the established hate group “Families of Adults Afflicted with Asperger’s Syndrome”.
KATIE WRIGHT
This one will be getting a full article once I catch up. Wright is the daughter of Autism Speaks founders Bob and Suzanne Wright, and blames vaccines for her son’s Autism. After Bob resigned from the organisation in May 2015 and Suzanne died in in July 2016, changes started being made that this woman did not agree with and she abandoned them. She still believes Autism is caused by vaccines is demanding a cure on this basis. As vaccines do not cause Autism she will never get her way.
MAE GOLDBERG
There are 157 blog entries about this monster on this blog where she lies profusely about Autism and about herself. Briefly, she is not a tax lawyer, she has no husband and there is no evidence of her getting a fake diagnosis of Autism along with five friends. She has CPTSD out of CSA (Childhood Sexual Abuse) possibly because she may be a lesbian. She claims to be trying to shut Level 1 Autistics out of all supports calling us fakes – blatant slander against all of us who have been formally diagnosed as that is an imputation of fraud. She was driven off Twitter at the end of December – by me.
PARENTS OF CSN AUTISTICS WHO REFUSE TO LISTEN TO LEVEL 1 AUTISTICS
This mentality of Level 1 Autistics not knowing what it’s like for CSN’s is unacceptable and shows a lack of acceptance of the Autistic Spectrum. Especially if Level 1’s actually take the time out to try and understand (as I have) and provide potential answers. Any parent who insists we don’t understand divides the community and is an enemy of Autism by default.
Example on Twitter (I don’t call it X): @Mamiilife
TONI BRAXTON
Described her son being Autistic as “God’s punishment” for having an abortion earlier in her life and was clearly upset by the diagnosis.
SAMUEL THOMAS
Has similar issues to that of Christian Chandler but not as badly – appears to not be adjusting to his Autism.
VAXXED
This movie is massively unreliable and despite it’s claims to the contrary is anti vaccine. It also promotes vaccines as causing Autism. Andrew Wakefield (see above) was involved in the movie’s creation.
