OOPS they did 'it' again.

A friend of mine contacted me and told me that they changed the wording of the so called Autism treatment (HR 2413 in the house, S 819 in the senate) accelerated act yet again.

I went to congress.gov and pulled hr 2413 (using the numbered bill search). Sure enough my friend was right.

The mandetory registry, and 'surveilence' (meaning MONITORING) of all people with Autism and Aspergers is still there.

But wait there is more. The bill claims that the parents of the children have rights. Yet if that is so, why does a COMMITTEE get to CHOSE what treatments, and vocational training the child with Autism gets to have? Why should a committee say to a child who just got a A+ in Physics, you get to be trained as a Janitor? If the powers that be care so much about the Autistic communitee, why are they trying to dumb US down?

And if they care so much about ensuring that all autistics get the care that they need, why are they denying coverage, care, and treatment for any Autistic or Aspergers person after they are 25 years old?

I have Aspergers, and for the Aspergers I am in counselling. This means once we go to a single payer system, my children and I will not only be made into wards of the state, we'll be denied the treatments of our choice, we'll will be denied the right to choose for my children the college of their choice (even though their IQ's are well into the 140's), and I will be denied treatment altogether for no other reason than I am over 25 (as well as millions of adults with varying degress of autism across the country).

And if all of this isn't enough for everyone who is reading this, then consider this; on the summery of this bill, it says this bill can be bought back to life at any given time!

I have been fighting this bull crap since 4/17/09, when Senator Edward Kennedy's office (and subsequentially a registered letter from the late senator himself) verified that all children with Autism would be denied coverage under S chip (which Congressman Lujan often brags that he is a proud co-sponsor of(and also did so in two registered letters to me)).

And let us not forget that it was a registered letter from Congressman Lujan from New mexico that stated that he supports a single payer system (even if it does deny certain people equal access to the health care that we have come to take for granted).

So even if S 819 doesn't pass (and a single payer system (which Congressman Lujan strongly supports does)); I, my children, and everyone with Autism and Aspergers will adversely be affected when we are denied equall coverage under the so called health care reform bills that are even now going through the senate and the congress.

As we will be denied 'equal' coverage ... that means that millions of Americans will immediately be labled CRIMINALS for no other reason then we will wrongly be denied insurance (when our private care insurers are forced out of business as they will be when the senate version of the health care bill passes), we will still be REQUIRED to PAY for a health care system that we are deemed UNWORTHY of recieving for ourselves!

For the record, Neither I nor my children will sign the mandetory registry/surveillence package that the Obama Administration is trying to push on the American people. I urge everyone with Autism and Aspergers to fight these laws with all of your heart, your soul, and your life. Because indeed our very existance is on the line with the outrageous agenda that this administration is targeting us with.

Let us not forget the Jews of Nazi Germany (who even before the Nuremburg laws were put in placed) were forced to register as though they were common criminals. The registry that they were forced to sign, made it that much easier for the Nazis to find them.

And as this adminstration becomes more inclined to deny us equal treatment under the law, the very 'registry' that they would have us sign will make it that much easier for THEM to find US.

There are people who are angered that I dare to write about this. They say that 'this' is 'better than nothing'. I have even had people say that because THEY DO NOT have Autistic relatives, this doesn't affect them ... so they are OK with it. I guess that means when it affects THEM, and no one does anything to help (because it 'doesn't affect them') that's OK too.

Look at the facts here, history IS repeating itself. And for those of you who do NOTHING, while the Autistic community is made to suffer for YOUR SILENCE ... May God have mercy upon you ... because for the record, I WON'T!
