Pursuant to my complaint about this site www.autism99.org as being completely
medical/charity model, I want to report that my autistic listserv has erupted
with complaints that the site is maddeningly autistic-unfriendly -
particularly in the way it forces you to use Shockwave - to make noises that
autistics find unbearable! and that of course the site in only accessible to
people who can afford the expensive software which leaves most DP out.
The opening address by Tony Blair is insufferable under the vicious
legislation his party is trying to bring in (as reported by Richard Light).
Our own PM, John Howard, also one of the worst disasters to hit people needing
welfare gets
to preen himself also.
I have discovered that there is still time to apply to run a seminar on the
site, which I now intend to run on the subject of Human Rights for Autistics,
the 'social model' as applied to autism, and the Intellectual Property Rights
of
autistics.
