ARGH, Autism Rights Group Highland, was several years ago a partner of ELAS, in the failed venture Autistic Voice. ARGH's leaders threw Autistic Voice away, by taking a huff with anyone who said that differences of need between autistics with or without learning disabilities should ever be stated or admitted to exist! Anyone who wanted any different needs to be stated, they called a wicked "aspie supremacist" + "ableist".
In a SPECTRUM of needs, it's unworkable to say we must always say we all have identical needs, when we obviously don't all have identical strong and weak points. As an objector wrote, ""how do we explain to providers who the people attending particular events are likely to be so that they can provide what is likely to be a good mix of support in the widest sense? "Well, there's this group of people and also there's another group of people and I can't tell you what the difference is.""
Now, ARGH has acted unilaterally, without a word either to ELAS or to the forum + writing group at ANS, + who know how many other grassroots groups - when disastrously + selfishly it has persuaded Scottish government to fly the flag of Autistic Pride Day on its hq tomorrow.
Just a stunt without building up any services: but Autistic Pride Day is evil. It was invented by a cult ruled by purge and terror of disfavour, Aspies For Freedom. They could do it for the UN's World Autism Awareness Day instead.
AFF was created, and run as a dictatorship, by one couple, in Wales, who made a bid to be the world leadership of aspies. They were very ban-happy and turned on many folks in an instant, they even threw out both of the folks who tried to start local AFF groups: one in New York just for naming himself in the credit for a fundraiser he organised, and one in Townsville Australia just for inadvertently asking the couple something they were secretive about. Also, AFF was founded taking a line against medical drugs for us, but within a year its site was proudly announcing connections made with professors who lecture in favour of drugging autistics. Again, just like the pigs in the ending to Animal Farm, when they become indistinguishable from the farmers.
AFF in its original membership form thankfully collapsed in 2013 under its tyranny's own unworkability. But its leaders are still around seeking influence, including through claiming the credit for Autistic Pride Day. Everyone trying to act ethically for any autistics who have ever been socially vulnerable or hurt, has a duty to disown Autistic Pride Day, and through the suicide danger to those folks, the protection principle enforces this.
IT IS A PROTECTION LAW RESPONSIBILITY AGAINST ABUSE TO DISOWN AUTISTIC PRIDE DAY. IT IS ALSO A PROTECTION LAW RESPONSIBILITY AGAINST ABUSE TO BE COMMITTAL NOT NONCOMMITTAL.
