message: ===Request for references===
I have been trying to reference the article recently. Most (but not all) of the article is written by me, though it was based on my own knowledge of the autism rights movement, and was not based on specific references. I have been trying to find some references which can be used to varify the statements in the article. If anyone knows other sources which can varify the statements in the article, please add them.

thread_title: Request for references

message: I have found that nearly all the facts in the autism rights movement article can be varified in the http://www.autistics.org/library/dawson.html article and Amy Harmon's "How About not Curing Us? Some Autistics are Pleading?" http://www.goupstate.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041220/ZNYT04/412200346/1051/news01 Q0 16:08, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Specific sources

message: I have some concern about this text that was in the article, about neutrality and about relavency to this article. I'll do my best to edit and integrate into the article. Q0 02:38, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I think the name autism rights movement came from Aspies For Freedom but I'm not sure. Q0 00:37, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Name of the movement

message: These comments were in the article, though they were comments so were not visible to the viewer unless they viewed the source. None the less, I thought they would be better on the talk page instead of in the aricle, even if they were not visible. Q0 21:59, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: HTML commented text in the article

message: I noticed someone said it is often claimed to be a myth that Einstein did poorly in school. Is there more information about this? I have heard that it is a myth that Einstein did poorly in math, but I havn't heard his reported academic failure in other subjects (like geography) challenged. Q0 20:59, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Einstein did poorly in school: a myth?

message: There is an error in some of the links in this section. If a URL ends in file.html, then the link includes a / at the end (ends in file.html/). This causes many of the links to not work. Also, the wikipedia links should not end in a slash. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autistic_culture/ should be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autistic_culture . I thought I would let the people maintaining those links know that so they can be aware of why some of the links are not working. Q0 19:01, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Aspergian Pride's List of Pride and Advocacy Links

message: I think the external links section is way too large. When the Aspergian Pride's list was separate from the external links section I thought that was ok because then people would still have a shorter list that is easier to go through. But now with the two links sections there is only one hard to sort through list. I think either the links needs to be divided back into separate "external links" and "aspergian pride links" sections like it was before, or the external links list needs to be cut shorter, or the external links section needs to be divided into subsections to make it easier to sort though.

thread_title: External Links

message: That is my opinion that without Asperger syndrome I would not be that person that I am now. I like myself now, for 22 years I lived in a void of pain but now it is fine. I got the help I need and my good variables are starting to show. Just as the body is a part of the soul is Autism a part of the soul, the body and Autism are walking in different directions. The soul is the best of the living as well of the dead.

thread_title:  Autism is the inner core 

message: This is not tolerable the notion that autism rights proves that we need a cure. it is like balck slave saying I want to be free then saying it proves he diseased
:Well, I agree with your edit and reworked the rest to better represent a neutral point of view, and I think its pretty good now Ryan Norton T | @ | C 15:53, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Insulting and degrading language 

message: I removed that comment as it is nonsense, I am the admin for autism assebly, it is not a board and there is no way that anyone could be banned, it is just a webpage. People can only be removed from the list if they request it. People join at their own request, and leave at their own request, no-one could possibly be banned from the list. 
The comment about 'someone being banned from aspies for freedom' is rather silly as occasionally people will be banned from any forum. No-one has been banned from the group Aspies for freedom, or an offline group of Aspies for freedom, which is the impression that is being given.
3 people have been banned from posting on the forum section of the website, out of nearly 700. I cannot see how that is pertinent to the autism rights movement.

:OK, it makes sense to me and I'm fine with its removal - thanks. Ryan Norton T | @ | C 18:14, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed banned from autism assembly

message: Right now, that section is freaking huge. Many of them are simply personal websites, blogs, and obscure groups. I think that some trimming down is needed, and some space needs to be given to opposing views. I think we should keep AFF, Neurodiversity, Wrong Planet, Dawson, Graphic Truth, ISNT, Aspergia, and maybe Pride Day, but check the notability of the rest.

message: The notion of famous autistics forms a part of the reason why there is a rights movement  in the first place.

Cos I am not happy with you changing things without talking about it. you are like the lone wolf or the rogue cop. I thought you were on wikibreak?? whayt happened??JoeMele 15:46, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reasons for the movement 

message: How is some less than POV than MANY???? please.  This is some must be NAAR's idea. This is a racist/neuralist slap in the face by NTsJoeMele 20:12, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Either "some" or "many" work fine for me. I am not seeing the shades of meaning the rest of you are seeing, I guess. "Some" means more than a couple. It means a bunch! And "many"... well, that means a bunch too! But, Joe, please back off from the Nazi-analogies, etc. It is uncomfortably Tern-like, IMHO. ManekiNeko | Talk 20:22, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
