Down With Eugenics!

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, and fellow Autistic Self-Advocate, Jason Ross, after he posted artwork being shared by the page, “ThAutcast: Aspergers and Autism Community“…

Jason R.:

“Hush!” “We’re trying to figure out how to prevent you.”

Rayn: Down with eugenics!

Fiona Has Wings!

The following correspondence originally took place here, upon the Facebook page, “Aspergers Adult Support“…

Aspergers Adult Support:

“When you’re surrounded by all these people, it can be lonelier than when you’re by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don’t feel like you can trust anyone or talk to anybody, you feel like you’re really alone.” – Fiona Apple

Walki T.: It’s the contrast.

Rayn: Fiona Has Wings! 

 

Bartleby, the Autistic Scrivener?

I originally posted the following short story and commentary onto my Facebook wall, along with commentary…

"I would prefer not to."

“I would prefer not to.”

Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street (by Herman Melville):

My Commentary: “I would prefer not to.” Ha! I’ve always loved this short story, and while sharing it with a friend a moment ago, a thought occurred to me: was Bartleby on the Autistic Spectrum? Hmmm… I wonder…

Patricia Corby Told Police She Killed Her Son Because of His Autism:
http://thautcast.com/drupal5/content/patricia-corby-told-police-she-killed-her-son-because-his-autism

My Commentary: In an absolutely horrific display of ill logic, after Patricia Corby turned herself in for the murder of her four-year-old son, Daniel, “she told police that the boy was autistic and that she didn’t believe he would have a life or a future without her, so she decided to kill him, the prosecutor said.”

FACT: Daniel didn’t have a life or a future WITH her!!!

Samantha P.: That is just terrible! Poor dog, poor girl, poor family! I hope they find the person who did this and punish them! Absolutely disgusting!

Stacie T.: My stomach is knotted. I am ashamed to be of the same species as the monsters who did this. If anyone ever hurt my girls, I’d want them torn to shreds.

Jessica O.: People are sick. Disgusting.

Sara: Wow, our society is just going to hell. What a deplorable, disgusting, piece of shit to do something like that. I wish I could find the person who did it, take a bat to their jaw and throw them in a river. Ugh!
