Pleasure to have been involved with this article discussing patient involvement. A particular focus on #StopSpectrum10k
As an update: HRA hope to report the investigation findings into Spectrum10K by end March. The 30 page @BoycottSpectrum10K complaint was received in Sept
Conversation with an 'autism professional' today
AP: You're not Autistic
Me: Who is the most prominent 'autism expert' on the planet?
AP: Simon Baron-Cohen
Me: He diagnosed me
AP: Oh... Erm...
Me: Also all his theories are trash & harmful, time to train yourself out of the 1990s
@DrMBotha@TanyaAdkin Its the flagrant horror, disbelief and i'm sure contempt.
"I'm the expert! My training from 2007 based on unproven theories derived between 1940 and 1996 dictates that you sir, are a liar and fraud!"
After spending over an hour on the phone to an educational psychologist, giving him information regarding a family I support (essentially spoon feeding them their report). He asked me to give him an example of how Autism affects me because he doesn’t believe I’m Âutistic!
Update from @HRA_Latest on their investigation into @Spectrum_10K based on the @BoycottSpect10k 30 page complaint via Autistic Advocates, Professionals & Academics:
"Next update will be on January 14th"
This investigation is now in its THIRD month
I'd call that fairly damning
Since Autistic people have been demonised as "trolls", Eve Reiland, Founder of InternationalBadassActivists, wrote an excellent article showing this behavior is not new - it is a common method of discreditation.
