AUTISM NORTHERN IRELAND: Where's Wally? - "Spot the Autistic"

http://autismnorthernireland.blogspot.com/2014/12/wheres-waldo.html

Wednesday, 3 December 2014. A Northern Ireland based autism charity have outdone themselves on this International Day of Persons with Disabilities by winning the booby prize for best stereotyping of autism as well as pissing off the entire autistic population of the world and their families. Can you "spot" the autistic? Autism NI/PAPA can help with that. He's the billy no mates, dressed in grey, with his gaze focused on the ground. Are young vacuous males look like anyone else. Can afford to use. Interna...

AUTISM NORTHERN IRELAND: Day 15: Young Autistic man still chained to hospital bed in Australia

http://autismnorthernireland.blogspot.com/2014/12/day-15-autistic-man-still-chained-to.html

Saturday, 6 December 2014. Day 15: Young Autistic man still chained to hospital bed in Australia. There's much talk in Northern Ireland amongst parents about all of us being on the same "journey" with our children and how we should work together for all of our children's benefit. 1 None of us are on a "similar" journey just because our kids have autism. Please sign the petition here Change.org. Here is James in happier times. Alex Spourdalakis, aged 14 chained to hospital bed. In Chicago hospital 2013.

Saturday, 6 December 2014. Northern Ireland Autism Charity reacts to public criticism of misleading "awareness" information. Dear Autism NI/PAPA Charity. Thank you for promptly removing your offensive "Spot the Difference" (Spot the Autistic) web page depicting autism as something to be detected via fashion and/or demeanor. I, and many others, have no idea what possessed your organisation to encourage the public to go "autistic spotting" in the first place or to what end. How did this happen? You declare...

AUTISM NORTHERN IRELAND: March 2010

http://autismnorthernireland.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 3 March 2010. Glencraig 'Steiner' and Camphill Communities. I find it appalling that the Glencraig 'Curative' School in Holywood, has children who attend there, fully funded by the Education and Library Boards in Northern Ireland yet we do not have an autism specific school for our children. I would hazard a guess that a placement of a primary aged pupil's attendance there would cost anywhere between £35 and £50,000 per annum depending on services put in place and possibly a lot more. Maybe th...
