(20,897 posts)and with speculation, hearsay and innuendo, all to serve your own black and white agenda. You say you want all aspies and others who take AD's to be hospitalized for monitoring. You say you want aspies and others who take AD's to be entered into an official database (and we all know just how safely private those things are, right?) You make assumptions based on speculation and he said, she said, maybe they said, I think I may have heard something, bullshit. And you say you're not scapegoating Aspies, like my son? Yeah, right. He endures enough discrimination and harassment and difficulty, he doesn't need more official bullshit monitoring and databases denying him a decent life, etc. Fuck that.
NAME this 'unnamed official." Name his part in the investigation. Explain HOW you got to see this "report." Unless it included an actual, official diagnosis from a medical professional who has that on the record, you're blowing smoke out your ass in shameless fearmongering. The medical examiner has admitted that he was only told the man had AS, that he had no confirmation. Other people who've speculated, including police, have admitted that they don't know, they're only going by what they think based on what others have told them. Allegations in divorce records are NOT always, or even usually, facts; having once been in the legal field, I'm more than aware of that. And none of the aspies I know, not my son, nor any of his friends, or any of the others I know from groups, etc., have ever taken any AD's, and no one I know who's ever taken them, including me at one time, had any kind of bad experience with them.
