We have been hi-jacked by the paranoid fixations of US parents who feel
cheated out of there perfect children, and colonised by the culture and
disability studies brigade for whom autism is the new tribe that hides from
man. (except we don't)
Unfortunately there is little left over for research into pragmatic
solutions and debunking of this circus.
That is my prerogative and I hope to be able to get the funds to do it.
Hey there disability studies gurus with your book royalties and fees for
lecture tours, your secure tenures and your by the numbers pronouncements,
hows about sharing some of that dosh?
