Autism News Comments 2006-12-01
Their was no blood in the video. It wasn’t much more than a very humiliating whining and screaming from a pamper-mother raised boy (he was being kicked though, but 0 fightback). Going by the way I see the world works, nothing will be done about bullying (or just picking on someone verbally or physically without extortion) until a bully victim DIES, preferably as a direct result of the bullying (not from poor health or from escalation to weapons / lethal unarmed attack resulting from overt retaliation by the victim or death by cop or other authority figure), and then the video going all over the filesharing networks and going on the news, especially if the video makes it on ogrish.com if enough physical torture and pain is involved. Even after that, a bullying crackdown would be hardly more effective than a RIAA/MPAA P2P filesharing crackdown.

IQ Tests (I know the WAIS-R very well) are optimized for auditory-dominant people (sense of hearing). Visuals often can cope ok. Kinesthetics (Touch dominant) get the shaft. Aspies and some HFA often adapt ok. The rest of the Auties get the shaft, as do moderate+ ADHD people. Non-verbal or highly-withdrawn auties should just be considered untestable with unknown IQ, not just given a made-up or woefully approximated IQ score, as, especialy in the east coast, IQ and standardized test scores are usually 70-80% of the basis of any placement decision (grades and behavior overrides provide the rest). I think Auties should be tested every year or two at least until ages 12-16 if they show progress or sucessfully overcome their language and sensory integration difficulties.

Hey I got banned WrongPlanet.net for evangelizing file sharing! I’m pretty sure thats what happened to the aspie shotgun killer. Many of the most-active members are highly liberal-socialist idealistic whiney-moms. But the people sueing wrongplanet.net can take their lawsuit and shove it up your ass!
