I have not written about the neurodiversity side of things, but I have had it on my list of things to write about. The only mention that I have made to or about was in a discussion with Kevin Leitch on Skeptico's site which can be seen here: http://skeptico.blogs.com/skeptico/2005/08/sticking_up_for.html<BR/><BR/><I>pretty good joke to mock and try to humiliate and misrepresent people who have had more mocking than you could ever dream of in their lives</I><BR/><BR/>Not a good joke. Ugly. Honestly, the thought of someone treating my son like that one day gives me sucking chest pains.<BR/><BR/>Just to go on record with my thoughts, I think that I have a great deal to learn for the neurodiv community. The first time I stumbled onto one such site my first thought was, 'wow, hadn't even occurred to me yet that adult HFA's would be hurt by the assertion that autism is a disorder’. <BR/><BR/>My son is three and I have barely gotten to think about what he might be struggling with in preschool, much less high school and beyond. But it seems to me that the neurodiv community is a wealth of information for me.<BR/><BR/>I have a lot more to say about this topic, and I may put it on the front burner since you have brought it up.<BR/><BR/>Please believe me when I say that I never want to give the impression that I would be the kind of person to attack anyone, much less adults with my son’s condition.<BR/><BR/>In the interest of full disclosure, my first name is really Jennifer. That is what is on my birth certificate and driver’s license, but I have been called Ginger since birth and most of my friends don't even know that.<BR/><BR/>The name Emma was at the top of my list for baby names if I had a girl, but that is as far as that association goes.<BR/><BR/>Suffice it to say, if the post does not say Ginger Taylor on it, then I didn't write it.<BR/><BR/>Can you send me the link? <BR/><BR/>Also, what was it that made you think that I wrote it?Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-1124174080508552312005-08-16T02:34:00.000-04:002005-08-16T02:34:00.000-04:00ginger,Just checking in to ask if you are also kno...ginger,<BR/><BR/>Just checking in to ask if you are also known as<BR/><B>jennifer</B> on huffingtonpost<BR/>and <BR/><B>Emma M</B> on huffingtonpost<BR/>and<BR/><B>neurodiversemama</B> <BR/>or just <B>neurodiverse</B><BR/>on the aut advo group where Emma M admits to lurking.<BR/><BR/>I would appreciate an honest answer<BR/><BR/>Jennifer lambasted the autistics who are proud of their being autistic and who dont' think of themselves as toxic<BR/><BR/>Emma M came along from the same email address and tried to be condescending and consoling and full of "understanding"<BR/><BR/>neurodiversemama is just lurking and misrepresenting what she is reading on the aut advo list, which pretty much makes her a stinky little thing she's using a similar address<BR/><BR/>you might not be that person, but it does seem like it's worth asking<BR/><BR/>too bad jennifer and Emma M are so mean and vicious toward people much like your son, right ginger?<BR/><BR/>pretty good joke to mock and try to humilate and misrepresent people who have had more mocking <B>than you could ever dream of </B> in their lives<BR/><BR/>don't you agree?<BR/><BR/>you're such a nice lady, gingerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-1124034321447769852005-08-14T11:45:00.000-04:002005-08-14T11:45:00.000-04:00I much prefer "mercury mom" to "refridgerator mom"...I much prefer "mercury mom" to "refridgerator mom" I have been told many times to cool my heels because we will not have in my lifetime all of the facts, or any real treatment or cure. I love the analogy! Becuase we were so naive and uninformed for so long I now know I've wasted my daughter's precious time.meeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488706339734421047noreply@blogger.com
