And they're right. The question is 'why' they are doing this now? Could it be because those of us with Aspergers have refused to sign on to unconstitutional legislation that would have forced us to become subservient wards of the state?

Could it be, because we dared say that we would not and could not support S 819 (and allow ourselves to be monitored as though we were common criminals) that these miscreants are now going to punish millions of people who happen to be 'high functioning' Autistics?

Many say there's no 'cure' for Autism. And they're right. But there is certainly 'treatement', and one of the best treatments is 'early intervention'. When this farce of a study takes affect, how will those people who are high functioning but have poor social skills (and their families can't afford private sources) be able to get it? The fact is, they won't. And that is what this study wants to happen. Those of us with Autism as a child, still have those issues as a adult. The early intervention gives us the life long strategies so that we can still function in society. Without early intervention, those of us with Autism won't be able to live normal lives and may become a burden on society.

Again As someone who is a high functioning Autistic, I do in no uncertain terms believe that because we refused to allow ourselves to support a bill so blatantly discriminatory to us and to others in the special needs community, retaliation is the reason why this farce of a study is now being touted as fact.

Here read the bills HR 2413 & S 819 ((which has 'finally' been changed from a mandatory to a voluntary registry) and see for yourselves what our own government wanted to do to us) and judge for yourselves (whether or not we are being PUNISHED because we DEEM ourselves to be WORTHY OF LIFE)!

Oh please don't go to Autism speaks, Autism votes or the Autism Society of America ......as they SUPPORT making us subservient wards of the state! These Organizations flat out said on their own web sites that they cared more about being able to 'meet' with the POTUS, than they do about staying true to their charter and properly representing US!

UPDATE the #VANDERBILT ... NUREMBURG_TRIBUTE_ACT will be in FULL Affect IN 2014.  Can we all SAY "Blame the Republicans" unless Obama wins?  Guess what?  IT IS OBAMA'S, and the LIBERALS' FAULT!  #BOYCOTT_VANDERBILT_UNIVERSITY# Call them OUT on what they are doing to all PEOPLE (men, women & children) with ASPERGERS.

Must be nice LIBTHUGS to pick and choose who YOU DEEM TO BE WORTHY OF LIFE!
