Dan the Torpedoes, Full Monster Ahead

The British charity Action for Children is stubbornly continuing to run its Dan the Autistic Monster advertisements, despite widespread outrage in the autistic community and unequivocal condemnation from autism researchers and professionals including Simon Baron-Cohen, Tony Attwood, and Mitzi Waltz. Evidently, Action for Children has made a calculated decision to ignore the public fury about the ad, hoping that it will all be forgotten shortly. It's up to us to make sure that doesn't happen.

Dora Raymaker has written a post on Change.org with links and information about action alerts to complain to the UK's Advertising Standards Authority and to other authorities (with directions for how to make the action alert work from non-US addresses) regarding the ad. If you haven't already responded to this, please do so. Also, you can find contact information for the charity's major corporate supporters here, and a group on Facebook is protesting the ad. For those who blog, please write some more posts about the controversy and let your readers know how they can show their disgust with this hateful and exploitative ad.

Edit, February 5: Yesterday the ITV network cut from the ad's line "I used to lash out" to someone being punched in the face in an unrelated ad, during a football (soccer) game. You can find a video of it here (thanks to Socrates for the link). As if the ad hadn't already done quite enough to stereotype autistic people as violent monsters...

  • We won't tolerate being ignored.

    It won't be forgotten.

    We're already undertaking strategic planning for when the ads have finished their run.

    I've just blogged on the upper class twits that designed this campaign for Action For Children.

    It is straight out of a farce.

    I can't quite believe it myself. I'll have to re-read it in the morning, to see if they seem a little less ridiculous....

    Thank's for posting.

  • Socrates, the curebies are using Joesph Gobbells propaganda techniques. Singer and Best I believe are masters of using them.

  • Sorry, David, but leaving him alone is the wrong reaction for me in this case. I know he's scared of me and that I tell the truth about him as well as about the Autistic Spectrum. As you said, he always lies. You only have to look at the list of thread titles on his blog to see that.

    The ultimate coward is a person who refuses to admit they are wrong despite irrefutable evidence. And Best is yet to provide irrefutable evidence that he's right - nor has he successfully refuted my evidence to the contrary. Or anyone elses (yours included as you know).

  • actually, Phil... you may have a point. it doesn't matter whether or not he's left alone to fester - because he's such an attention whore that he'll find SOMEthing to have a go at people with. quite frankly, it's clear that he couldn't be arse to read my critique of his 'statement' about me in another post here, and yet there were so many factual errors in it that - if he wasn't consciously lying his manky, shit-ridden arse off - he must be incapable otherwise of discerning truth from fiction. that would mean he's basically a serious liar OR he's fucking psychotic.

    either way, he's not someone to trust to tell a single truth.

    And yes there are 79 year old Autistics. LFA's there aren't to my knowledge - because they are all dead thanks to the neglect of the old asylum system.

    David, do you know if Joseph still has the link to that stat about service numbers that he referenced some time back? I think Kev Leitch had access to it as well. Hope you know what I mean there.

    And Watson doesn't exist just by the way. Watson is a sock puppet of Best. So don't be concerned about answering the questions.

  • Hiya Phil,

    "David, do you know if Joseph still has the link to that stat about service numbers that he referenced some time back? I think Kev Leitch had access to it as well. Hope you know what I mean there."

    I think I know... just not sure about the currency of what Kev knows... most of the time, I'm settling into my new flat and trying to deal with imbeciles in the social welfare office, job centre and social insurance institution here, trying to get serious services. The disability side now has a good woman running it and she's done a shitload that has been useful and helpful. It's just the other bollockses that suck.

    "And Watson doesn't exist just by the way. Watson is a sock puppet of Best. So don't be concerned about answering the questions."

    I can see that, actually, the more I see that idiot's writings and this so-called 'assessment' (which is actually not a valid assessment at all - way too much observer bias in it, which is SO fucking obvious that best has to be a total moron to not get that we see RIGHT FUCKING THROUGH HIM!) ... well, the more I'm convinced that it's Best (and I can believe that most if not all of his anonymous posters are him too - they ALL have the same sort of language in them!).

    Must be a fucking lonely washed up existence for him if he has to invent a shitload of people (including those he can't think of a fucking name for!). Like I say: waste of a wank. Was, is, will be. Always.

    Watson does not exist. It's you. As are most of the supporters on you blog including most of the anonymous posters. You do have the time for that research. Well actually you don't have time for anything because you should be watching Sam 24/7.

    You may comment on my blog but you can not link to one of your idiotic copycat sites via your name.
    I do not, nor have I ever used sockpuppets of any sort on my blog. All comments that do not say Foresam are from people other than me. Watson is a real person who is much better educated about Neuroinsanity than I am.

    I spend hours every day researching and planning strategy for wagering on horses, as well as watching every fluctuation of the toteboard on races that I deem bettable. If there was profit to be made on researching Neuroinsanity, I might spend some time on it. I don't.

    I have a question for you. Do you think Best has Narcisstic Personality Disorder?

    I think he does and his whole hating autism site is feeding his narcisstic supply.

    I am no psychologist like you are though so personally I don't know. I can go upon what I read online and make guesses myself.

    I think Best is a major threat. He may be piss ant right now but this man could become a serious threat and the reason being is he is using nazi propaganda tactics. Nazi propaganda tactics is one of his special interests and I think he knows how to use them well especially the propaganda minster Joesph Gobbels. http://thinkexist.com/quotation/-if_you_tell_a_lie_big_enough_and_keep_repeating/345877.html

    “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

    Best is repeating the same crap over and over again and this is straight from Gobbels.

    It took Andrews about 40 years to get through college. You can probably find a more competent expert.

    You are confusing narcissism with experience. I'm an old man who has lived an interesting life. I don't allow myself to confused by things that bother inexperienced young minds.

    By Blogger John Best, at 10:11 PM  

  • You're lying again, Best.

    1. It's not a blog, it's a forum and you are NOT banned from it! You know it. You've seen it and complained about copyright (which you don't have the right to complain about and the forum explains why).
    2. You haven't allowed my comments for ages so I don't bother.
    3. Watson and most of the anons are you. Enough said.
    4. You research the blogs every day. You monitor every Autism Hub blog (that's why you ramped up on my last entry and then deleted it because you added my picture to it). And meanwhile who's looking after Sam?

    Stop lying - you're very bad at it. And stop betting on the races - that's a waste of time and money that is better spent on your son by stopping chelation and starting grossly belated psychotherapy.

    An interesting life? Yeah right - I'll bet I've done more in my life than you have with yours! You're COMPLETELY confused and you refuse to admit it and continue to make the same mistakes over and over and over.......

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 4:00 AM  

  • "Dr. Andrews"

    LoL Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm not a Ph. D. yet... merely a Master of Education who specialised in educational psychology. I haven't really found a topic for doctoral research that would give me sufficient internal motivation to continue it for the four or five years full-time work that a Finnish university would demand from me. But I did graduate "with Distinction", which is indicative of serious ability for doctoral study.

    "I have a question for you. Do you think Best has Narcisstic Personality Disorder?"

    Well, much as I am loathe to follow his example and try to diagnose per internettum, my own dealing with him lead me to suspect that there is actually a serious personality issue going on with him: he has been known to engage in very obnoxious behaviour (documented elsewhere) for which he has shown absolutely no remorse whatsoever; he demonstrates an almost pathological hatred for anyone who disagrees with him (despite his protestations which - basically - are nothing more than attempts to justify his hatred); and - whilst he inconsistent in the application of his values (essentially pushing a 'one rule for me, one rule for you' scenario) - he is consistent in his choices of whom he chooses to attack.

    "I think he does and his whole hating autism site is feeding his narcisstic supply."

    Well, this would seem to be so: I have noticed a seemingly constant need for attention, and this is somewhat different from most people one would consider to be trolls. But this constant demand for attention is not necessarily narcissistic, since it can also be found in the so-called histrionic personality disorder. Nonetheless, one has to remember that personality disorders are not pure classifications per se but rather are classifications based on the predominent pathological style of interpersonal behavioural engagement.

    "I am no psychologist like you are though so personally I don't know. I can go upon what I read online and make guesses myself."

    Indeed; and, even for a psychologist trained in diagnostics, it is only an educated guess at best for me to say anything about anyone without having had the chance to assess their behaviour in person or, at the very least, on video.

    The way that diagnosis works, of course, not as simple as one would imagine. It isn't enough to just use criteria as checklists: they are categories that are already delineated and need a careful cross-matching to categories that emerge from data in what is essentially the formation of a grounded theory about the person being assessed.

    Claiming fair use here, I'm going to use material from a wiki article (which is essentially a restatement of DSM IV-TR). For a personality disorder to be diagnosed, there has to be fulfilment of the general criteria for such a disorder. These are (with my own annotations regarding JBJr and his behaviour):

    "A. Experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the individual's culture."

    Even though the US does tend to get a bashing for being a rather individualistic and brusque nation in its dealings with the rest of the world, this view is recognised as a stereotype, rather than a proper ethnologically-valid conception of 'what it is to be an American'. Ergo, Best's behaviour as it has been documented over the past few years, definitely does fall outwith cultural norms.

    "This pattern is manifested in two (or more) of the following areas:

    1. cognition (perception and interpretation of self, others and events)
    2. affect (the range, intensity, lability, and appropriateness of emotional response)
    3. interpersonal functioning
    4. impulse control"

    Even a cursory examination of his blog material and his posts on other people's blogs suggests that a formal examination would indeed find the first criterion fulfilled for items 1 and 3; given his flustered attempts to justify behaviours later identified as antisocial (and, indeed, bordering on the criminal), it is also likely that item 4 would be part of the fulfilment of this first criterion.

    "B. The enduring pattern is inflexible and pervasive across a broad range of personal and social situations."

    We only see what he is like in his interactions on the net, and we would only be speculating if we were to claim that such behaviour is consistent with his interpersonal behaviour in offline settings. If, however, there was a significant degree of consistency, then this second criterion could be considered fulfilled. If he were to suggest that his behaviour offline is like that engaged in online, that would be enough to suggest that this criterion could indeed be fulfilled upon further examination.

    "C. The enduring pattern leads to clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning."

    Note that the criterion does not specify the person to whom the distress is caused. In personality disorders, it is usually the distress of others (as caused by the behaviour of the assessee) that is counted in the fulfilment of this third criterion; and Best has indeed behaved in a manner that has cause considerable distress to many others (certainly in his online guise) and this behaviour has spilled over on at least two occasions from the internet into real people's lives (and he has shown no remorse for these actions either).

    "D. The pattern is stable and of long duration and its onset can be traced back at least to adolescence or early adulthood."

    In the past few years that he has been having a go at me and Michelle Dawson and Amanda Baggs and many others, it has become clear that he is behaving in a very stable manner in pursuit of causing distress to selected others. Unless this behaviour is not how he behaves in real life AND is not how he has always behaved, then this fourth criterion could well be found to be fulfilled upon further examination.

    "E. The enduring pattern is not better accounted for as a manifestation or consequence of another mental disorder."

    Some suspect that he is himself an Asperger-autistic person (albeit a very ego-dystonic one), but I don't really see the sort of content one would expect from an Asperger-autistic person in what he writes. Even the very ego-dystonically autistic Mitchell can produce material that is more realistic and balanced than anything produced by Best in his writings. I very much doubt that this fifth criterion would be found wanting fulfilment: there seems to be no full-blown psychotic episode in his history, so his cognitive issues are not likely to be explained by, for example, schizophrenia.

    "F. The enduring pattern is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance or a general medical condition such as head injury."

    Examination of Best's medical records and/or military discharge documents would be the most reliable source of information to fulfil (or not fulfil) this sixth criterion. Since Best does not mention anything of such substance effects or injury effects, the likelihood is that this criterion could be fulfilled in the absence of such effects.

    Note that this is not a diagnostic exposition. It is an example of how a person's 'deviant' behaviour is mapped onto diagnostic criteria ('deviant' meaning here 'being at odds with the person's surrounding culture').

    In addition to the above general criteria, the following clusters of typologies exist in DSM IV-TR (again, with my own annotations):

    "Cluster A (odd or eccentric disorders)

    * Paranoid personality disorder: characterized by irrational suspicions and mistrust of others
    * Schizoid personality disorder: lack of interest in social relationships, seeing no point in sharing time with others
    * Schizotypal personality disorder: also avoids social relationships, though out of a fear of people"

    There is nothing of the above characteristics in his online behaviour.

    "Cluster B (dramatic, emotional, or erratic disorders)

    * Antisocial personality disorder: 'pervasive disregard for the law and the rights of others.'
    * Borderline personality disorder: extreme 'black and white' thinking, instability in relationships, self-image, identity and behavior
    * Histrionic personality disorder: 'pervasive attention-seeking behavior including inappropriate sexual seductiveness and shallow or exaggerated emotions'
    * Narcissistic personality disorder: 'a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy'"

    Italicised are just a few of the types of behaviour evident in Best's entire posted catalogue of writings and posts on other people's blogs.

    "Cluster C (anxious or fearful disorders)

    * Avoidant personality disorder: social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation and avoidance of social interaction
    * Dependent personality disorder: pervasive psychological dependence on other people.
    * Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (not the same as obsessive-compulsive disorder): characterized by rigid conformity to rules, moral codes, and excessive orderliness"

    None of the above characteristics are found in Best's behaviour online.

    Certainly, if a personality disorder diagnosis were to be given, it is likely that it would be a Cluster B diagnosis, although his online behaviour does not seem to suggest which Cluster B diagnosis would result from an examination. Indeed, all four Cluster B personality pathologies seem to be represented in Best's online behaviour, which would probably result in a diagnosis of 'Personality Disorder NOS, mainly Cluster B characteristics'.

    And he thinks his 'Watson' post about me was an assessment! I'm not claiming this as an assessment, but I am saying that this is how his behaviour maps directly onto the general and cluster criteria for personality disorder. And this is something I am trained for, which his 'Watson' character/sockpuppet isn't.

  • Foreskin: "Cube Demon,
    I never lie.

    It took Andrews about 40 years to get through college. You can probably find a more competent expert."

    Example of him lying and not even recognising it as such.

    I went up to university at 26 after an access course and A-level study that lasted - all tolled - 2 years.

    My first go at full-time study was plagued with undiagnosed problems, and so did not go well. So I began part-time study from 1990 (when I was 28). In among the time spent studying I was also engaged in other activities, such as writing, performing and recording songs, as well as looking for work, and doing voluntary/unpaid work. Some years I did not enrol at a university because I was - during those years - involved in my family life. However, my study path went like this:

    1990-92 - University of Sheffield, Doncaster College
    1993 - Open University, Sheffield Hallam University
    1994 - Open University, Sheffield Hallam University, local tertiary college as tutor in mathematical sciences
    1995 - Open University and work at local hospital medical physics department as research technician
    1996-7 - University of Leeds, local school as student-tutor in mathematical sciences
    1997-8 - University of Leeds
    1998 - moved to Finland
    1999 - became a father, studies at University of Jyväskylä
    2000-2001 - University of Oulu, National Language Certificate Examinations Board Intermediate Certificate in Finnish Language.
    2001-6 - University of Birmingham.

    Part-time study over a period of 16 years is not and never has been 'about 40 years'. The fact that Best cannot work that out suggests that he's either not academically bright enough to have the degrees he claims to have OR that he is in fact lying. Giving him the benefit of the doubt on his academic qualifications, we must conclude that he is lying.

    Phil: "Stop lying - you're very bad at it."

    Isn't he just?

    He's one seriously fucked up individual, that's for sure.

  • Take Two!

    David, I disagree with a few of your points regarding Best;

    Cluster A - He is definitely paranoid. The blog is littered with distrust in government officials in particular and anyone else who does anything other than what he sees as the only thing. As Frank Burns said in MASH "I'm only paranoid because everyone's against me". The thing is - everyone is. Even his so called allies are turning on him. I also suspect schizoid because it would appear his social activity is limited to home.

    Cluster B - I would add instability in relationships given that I have a firm belief that he is divorced. He never even got married until at least 40 which is also suspicious along those lines.

    Cluster C - He is definitely sensitive to negative evaluation. And even though it's his own rules and moral codes, his rigidity to those rules and codes would still fit.

    Just my take on your post. I'm not claiming superior knowledge (heck no - you have the qualifications and I don't, and neither does Best which by the way he claimed on the Autism Speaks Ning, which in part gives away the sock ID of Watson). I'm just adding a few practical points that you may have missed.

    "He's one seriously fucked up individual, that's for sure."

    Indeed, and I hadn't thought too much about his serious mistrust of those who basically do not agree with him. In fact, there might be difficulties in pinning a particular Cluster dx, since the issues you raise would - upon a more rigorous examination - most likely lead to PD-NOS, it would seem now.

  • Timenut,
    You're trying to apply your own paranoia to me. Everyone IS against you because you're crazy as a bedbug.

    ND is against all sane people who want to cure autism so, they oppose anything I say. It doesn't make me paranoid to point out their inane arguments and abject stupidity.

    People on my side aren't against me. They just go about things the wrong way. We all want to end the poisoning and cure the kids. Most of the younger parents have been brainwashed by political correctitude and don't realize that the answer will probably require violence. When every facet of a government is corrupt, it has to be replaced.

    So far, 26 states have agreed with the New Hampshire legislature's assesssment that we need to take the power away from the US government because it has overstepped its bounds. The seeds of revolution have begun. As part of that process, with the power of the people on the side of the children, the horror of poisoning babies will cease.

    Then, we will cure the mental cases like you.

    Cube, very interesting observation. Evidently, he's deluding himself as to his status on this earth... affording himself maybe too much grandeur. Bit worrying, really. That probably explains why Best cannot allow himself to be held to his own professed behaviour values, as he expacts other to behave towards him: he certainly operates on a two-rule system... one rule for him and another for people whom he does not like. He's no prophet.

    Definitely genuine.

    Diagnosed self in doctor's office, with no rebuttal form the doctor; immediately requested referral to clinical psychology and to psychological medicine for further assessment and confirmation of the self-diagnosis; obtained confirmation from two psychiatrists: Dr. M. E. M. El Sherbini (M. B, B. Ch., D. P. M., M. R. C. Psych; Consultant Psychiatrist) and Professor Digby Tantam (B. A., M. B., B. Ch., M. A., M. P. H., Ph. D; A. F. B. P. S., F. R. C. Psych., F. B. A. C. P., U. K. C. P. F., F. H. E. A.; Clinical Professor of Psychotherapy, Univ. Sheffield). Given that any self-diagnosis is by definition informal, my diagnoses came from two qualified psychiatrists, one of who is an expert on the diagnosis of adults.

    I'm definitely genuine :)

  • Phil... found the bit where he professes expertise! How fucking deluded is that guy???

    At least I went on an accredited course (accredited - one presumes - by the UK's National Autistic Society), and learned how to assess for, and diagnose, autism, and followed the syllabus for the then-current British Psychological Society practitioner qualification in educational psychology. In other words, the programme of study I followed is checkable and confirmable.

    John Best Jr. has no such training.

    None of your four psychopaths are autistic. To meet the criteria, they need to be diagnosed by age 3. They all missed, including you, by way too many years to have anyone take these bogus diagnoses as credible.

    The fact is that none of these people were screwed up enough to qualify. Baggs is an out and out sham, faking autism after blowing her brain out with LSD. The rest, including you, are just mental cases who sought the diagnosis as an excuse for being nitwits.

    Sinclair, a hemaphrodite, can attribute all of his/her psychological problems to his/her genitals. Williams had othr psychological problems that do not come close to equating to autism. You're just a horse's ass who thinks a little bit of book learning can make you intelligent. You have a lot to learn from those of us who know that all of those textbooks you buried your head in are obsolete.

    Those of us who cure autism do it with knowledge that is up to date and not found in textbooks...simpleton.

  • "Sanity Pending,"

    Look who's talking!

    "None of your four psychopaths are autistic. To meet the criteria, they need to be diagnosed by age 3. They all missed, including you, by way too many years to have anyone take these bogus diagnoses as credible."

    Wrong... SO fucking wrong!

    The criteria state that the characteristics used to diagnose should generally appear by the age of three: "Usually there is no prior period of unequivocally normal development but, if there is, abnormalities become apparent before the age of 3 years." (http://www.mentalhealth.com/icd/p22-ch06.html)

    DSM IV refers to characteristics appearing before or by the age of three, not having to be diagnosed before or by that age.

    Moreover, as ICD 10 states: "A pervasive developmental disorder that differs from autism in terms either of age of onset or of failure to fulfil all three sets of diagnostic criteria. Thus, abnormal and/or impaired development becomes manifest for the first time only after age 3 years; and/or there are insufficient demonstrable abnormalities in one or two of the three areas of psychopathology required for the diagnosis of autism (namely, reciprocal social interactions, communication, and restrictive, stereotyped, repetitive behaviour) in spite of characteristic abnormalities in the other area(s)." (ICD 10, referring to F84.1 - atypical autism; DSM IV has a similar provision for an aytpical autism diagnosis, which it calls 'PDD-NOS')

    There is no age by which the condition has to be diagnosed.

    This is the difference between you and me, John: I'm a trained professional and you are an ignorant fraud, claiming expertise you clearly do not have.

    "The fact is that none of these people were screwed up enough to qualify. Baggs is an out and out sham, faking autism after blowing her brain out with LSD. The rest, including you, are just mental cases who sought the diagnosis as an excuse for being nitwits."

    Not really much to say about this paragraph since it consists entirely of hate-speech and other bullshit.

    "Sinclair, a hemaphrodite, can attribute all of his/her psychological problems to his/her genitals. Williams had othr psychological problems that do not come close to equating to autism."

    As for Jim Sinclair, I do not know since I haven't communicatied with him (note that, John: Jim Sinclair - even if he is intersex - has stated a preference to be referred to as he and him). Donna's story I have read and the details given do indeed indicate a diagnosis of autism, which has been diagnosed (by a practitioner far more expert in the whole issue than you will ever be, John. Jim also has a professionally made diagnosis, if I recall correctly.

    "You're just a horse's ass who thinks a little bit of book learning can make you intelligent."

    At least - even as a dyslexic - I can read: you've not show much ability to actually read or remember and/or understand anything you do try to read. Besides... as a person claiming to be a graduate, you should know that learning at university level is mostly about reading! Hence the term 'reading for a degree'!

    As for intelligent... my natural abilities make me intelligent. And that is documented too.

    You're getting owned again, John... must be terrible to have too little intelligence to know when to stop making an arse of yourself in public!

    "You have a lot to learn from those of us who know that all of those textbooks you buried your head in are obsolete."

    I still keep current. You yourself have too much to learn - you couldn't learn anything significant before your money runs out on the horse-races and you end up in the NH equivalent of a debtors' court.

    "Those of us who cure autism do it with knowledge that is up to date and not found in textbooks...simpleton."

    Non sequiter, John; and bullshit besides. Fact is, you have fuck all expertise and I have plenty. Which is why I'm starting work on a short term contract with the Finnish Autism Association next month, researching ways of informing immigrant parents of suspected autism in the children's cases in a culturally-sensitive manner, and you can't even get a job with the New Hampshire Developmental Disabilities Council!

    Nuff said!

    AFTER-THOUGHT:

    That was a spectacular piece of one-down-man-ship on the part of John Best Junior, wasn't it? How the fuck that guy got anywhere near a university to get a sniff at the Principal's cock (let alone a fucking degree!) I do not know!

    Intense feeling of schadenfreude owing to JBJr's incessant antics and attempts to display himself as a totally ignorant and uneducated imbecile actually seeming quite comical!!!! I have a daughter who is 10 years old and has a hell of a lot more intelligence in her little finger than JBJr has in his entire body. At least she can read and understand things (in two languages, I might add!), and she would not go all out to prove herself to be stupid, like JBJr does: she would learn things and get them right (which JBJr has yet to figure out how to fucking do!).

    By Blogger abfh, at 11:08 AM  

  • Sanity Lost,
    Thanks for admitting you are a book learned only imbecile. The DSM is irrelevant. It hardly even hits on the symptoms of autism. As written, one could make the stretch to diagnose almost anyone with some form of autism.

    You claim to be a trained professional, trained by who, a bunch of shitheads who can't cure autism? You still don't understand what you were supposed to learn in school. The thing you are supposed to learn is how to think for yourself, not how to parrot garbage that you learned in some book.

    Nobody taught me how to break par, handicap horses or how to cure autism. Those are all things that require the ability to think, something you will never have.

    The fact that I have cured one son and partially recovered another makes me more of an expert on autism than any asshole who won't even try to accomplish that. The fact that I lived with it for the last 12 years and have solved the worst behaviors makes me more of an expert than every jackass who has not learned how to eradicate those behaviors. That includes you nitwit, and your obsolete knowledge base taught to you by dumb fucks who don't know what I know. I challenge every one of your alleged "experts" to debate me about what they think they know about autism. Not one of these idiots has the balls.

    By Blogger John Best, at 11:15 AM  

  • You have cured no one, Best. You only have one son and we all know it. You've lived with what for 12 years? David, Cube Demon, myself and every other adult on the Spectrum has lived with it for way longer than that!

    You know NOTHING, Best. Every expert will tear you apart in a debate. I could tear you apart. So could David. Because you have NO EVIDENCE of what you say being true. I have already exposed the truth of your son's improvement and why he will never be NT. And you don't have the skill or the knowledge to counter it.

    Nor the ability to think.

    To meet the criteria, they need to be diagnosed by age 3.

    Bullshit. That's not compulsory and you know it. Quacks miss things. They sure as heck missed you!

It's certainly an interesting task, since nobody's actually researched this angle before - at least, not in Finland.

When you're face with someone who has the appropriate training, all you can do is to decry it - precisely because you do not understand either the nature of the training or the relevance of it.

    That's not a failure of my training: it's a failure of John Best Junior to actually learn anything useful.

    And that is another difference between you and me, John: I am a professional and you are a tosspot.

    And you will never be anything else!

    And that is fine by me.

    Crawl off and slide under your little pile of shit that you call home, John; and leave the real professionals to the job that you are totally unable to do because you lack the intelligence, the knowledge and the expertise to do.

    Or was the reason why the New Hampshire Developmental Disabilities Council withdrew their offer of a job because they saw your hate-site and thought 'Oh fuck, if we employ this loser we'll look like a desperate set of arseholes!'?

    Actually, TI, if you had half as much knowledge as your bumchum JBJr claims to have, you'd realise that -since JBJr is the one making the claim - the onus is on JBJr to prove his claim. It is not for anyone to probe him wrong.

    So until he actually produces a proper study to show that he has done what e claims to have done, he hasn't actually done it: he's only claiming to have.

    What's it like to be less intelligent then JBJr?

    Foreskin (to me): "Your insults don't address the fact that I cure autism and neither you nor any of your alleged experts can make the same claim."

    You are the most stupid person I've ever encountered that has claimed to be a university graduate. Even Mitchell strings together better arguments (when he's not insulting people) than you do. And at least - when he's not lying about people - he does actually look to provide evidence of what he says. Pisses all over you, John; and he's autistic... you're not.

    You haven't cured anyone of anything. You haven't provided a single study to demonstrate it. And only an idiot would claim that it doesn't need a study to demonstrate that.

    "Your training is useless since it does not address the cause or the cure for autism."

    That's actually an idiotic statement in itself. Yes, we thoroughly investigated aetiologies in autism; and, no, mercury is not in the list of possible causes. Get over yourself and get used to being wrong.

    "All you can ever hope to achieve is a tiny bit of improvement in high functioning individuals. So, no matter how much you earn at your work, you will always be a failure."

    We can achieve better that you're claiming; and it's not like you've put a study out to demonstrate that you can bring about the 'cure' your always harping on about. I'd take you more seriously if you did. You can't be arsed to, or you know underneath the bullshit you shove out that you haven't cured a fucking headache, let alone autism.

    "You're a wage slave while I'm a free person, free to learn whatever I feel like, unbound by any stupid rules."

    I'm not a wage slave. I get to research what I want to, as I see fit, based on the principles of scientific inquiry. Whatever you say, you're no 'maverick'. You're just an uneducated man trying to browbeat better educated and wiser people than yourself. And you're making youself look stupid in the process.

    "I broke even today so I had no income for the day. I'll bet my day was a lot more enjoyable than yours though."

    Bet you it wasn't. I was out last night doing the sound for a band I was in before. We'd a great night, and the crowd was good. The band slimmed down to two people on stage and me shifting role from being drummer to being sound man. The crowd loved the music and autographs were requested and signed. We even dedicated one song to you, John: Paranoid!

    Nice jest, man :D

    Thing is... I can't understand why JBJr would wish to take on trained people in 'debates' like his, when the outcome is always that he gets his arse whipped. Intellectual masochism? Plain stupidity? Personality disorder? I dunno. Frankly - I don't care.

    Since it's not against the law to let a man make a fool of himself, he can carry on: the schadenfreude that comes from it is quite appealing, although - if he were to agree that he is, after all, not so clever and had lied about being an expert and so on, I might actually take a less frivolent view of him and possibly even chuck him some ideas as to how he could demonstrate his power of cure.

    But wait...

    I did that two or three years ago and he (as good as) told me to fuck off! And there's me, doing my citizenly duty of offering him a chance to demonstrate that he wasn't lying about this 'curing people of autism' stuff.

    He's either insane (personality disorder or psychotic) or a liar.

    Ah well... like I said. Not against the law to let a man make a fool of himself, so I'll enjoy watching him do that. And the joy at being able to think, 'Thank fuck that's not me!' isn't illegal, either :)

    I have all the documentation I need for the diagnosis, and I'm aware that - even though Amanda Baggs has provided evidence on her blog of her diagnosis - you still rail at her for being a fraud. She's not a fraud... it's just you being too stupid to know when to stop.

    I'm not going go the same way with my diagnosis: it won't stop you from calling me a fraud because you're too stupid to know when you've been beaten on an issue. The people who need to know already know. The people who who need to see the report have seen the report and you will never be one of them.

    Stop being a shit-head, John, and grow the fuck up. Think what your inane postings are doing for Sam: is he going to be proud of his dad when he grows up and sees all that shit?

    Scumbag: "Instead, you hide here insulting me because you're afraid to face your accuser."

    You're the scared one, John. Simple as that: prove that Sam is autistic or I'm not going to believe that he is. Show the diagnosis on your poxy little blog. Or maybe you haven't got a diagnosis for him, John. That's me applying your - er - "logic" to your claim that Sam is autistic. I was prepared to accept that he is. But why the hell should I? You're arguing against a diagnosis that I know is not fraudulent. Show that Sam's isn't one that you've concocted, and I'll show that mine isn't. Until then, shut the fuck up and accept that my diagnosis is correct and true.

    Or aren't you man enough to accept that you're wrong on that call?

    Scumbag: "I don't know if anyone could have won the vaccine case without a jury but I think I could have done a better job of it than than the lousy lawyers who presented our side of it."

    You do a better job than the lawyers? Ever thought of a career in stand-up? You couldn't argue youe way out of a a wet paper bag; how the fuck would you have managed to provide a convincing argument to a judge in a court of law???? Talk about an over-inflated sense of who one is!

    I doubt that our resident ForeSkin would be able to pick up on the sarcasm in that statement.

    "I'm sure David Andrews would debate personally."

    If you're referring to the issue of diagnosis and Best's refusal to accept that I have one, I could provide evidence of that. If you're talking about debating something else (qualification, etc.), well... I could provide evidence there, too :)

    So far, I've seen fuck all evidence that Sam is autistic or that Sam is mercury-poisoned; I've seen fuck all evidence that John has been in the US military, let alone had an officer rank in it; I've seen fuck all evidence of John having seen a university, let alone having graduated from two/three of them (as he claims to have done!); all I've seen is JBJr spouting shit on people's blogs and his own, that he cannot provide a single shred of evidence for. John Best Jr is the one "Autism Fraud" on the planet. He's using his son's situation as a means to effectively steal money from a pharmaceuticals company in order to never have to do an honest day's work again in his life (if he's ever done such a day's work before).

    Since this is not a place where one can present physical evidence, your arguments to absurdity about my son's autism, or my degrees, or my military service are just further evidence of you dodging Watson's assertions about your phoney diagnosis.

    Baggs' diagnosis is laughable in light of what we learned about her LSD and magic mushroom use, her elfhood, suicide attempts, asylum admissions and her lousy acting in her videos. She's brain damaged but it ain't autism.

    As for the moronic lawyers who blew the Omnibus case, all they had to do to win the case was present cured children with their medical records, as many as they could find, accompanied by old videos showing how messed up they were. Although wacked out weirdos from Neuroinsanity claim that these kids would have improved over time, naturally, nobody is stupid enough to believe that crap. I'd have blown off some of the "expert" scientists and paraded about 100 cured children in front of the special masters. Of course, nobody can win a case if the special master's employers have ordered them how to decide it.

    Who the fuck gave you THAT much importance? Ignorant bastard.

    "Baggs' diagnosis is laughable in light of what we learned about her LSD and magic mushroom use, her elfhood, suicide attempts, asylum admissions and her lousy acting in her videos. She's brain damaged but it ain't autism."

    Supply proof or shut the fuck up; you're looking like an idiot now.

    You couldn't do it because you can't fucking do it. They aren't there. Live with being wrong, you dozy old chav! LoL You couldn't even blow off a fucking horse!!!!

    We'll dedicate Paranoid to you next time we play, okay? LoL

    Actually, you could present physical evidence on here. First, you would have to do is use some of the winnings from the horse races and buy a cheap scanner. Second, set up your scanner by installing the driver for it on your computer. Third, scan all of your paper work.

  • Cube,

    I reckon that he just can't be arsed. The Amazingly Stupid Prepuce thinks he is a law unto himself, although he's going to get a rude awakening soon, I'm sure... someone somewhere must be watching how he behaves!

    How someone can go through life being like him and even get a high school diploma is beyond me: there are no signs of learning there at all.

    Have you reported his offences yet?

    By Blogger David N. Andrews M. Ed., C. P. S. E., at 3:43 AM  

  • I reported him sometime ago, David. Not for an affray but for other offences. The cops didn't do anything about it.

    Best, you don't know the full story of Amanda Baggs. Fact. I do. So do many other people. And because you have proven yourself to be so dangerous you're not going to get the info.

    As for your demand for David to prove he's on the Spectrum - what's the point? As far as you're concerned, if the symptoms don't match Sam's EXACTLY - the person (whether it's me, Amanda, David, Cube Demon or anyone else) is a fraud of some sort.

    All sane people will know the folly of this - and the madness of your persistence.

    Why not? He's obviously a fucking criminal lunatic.

    Phil, again: "As for your demand for David to prove he's on the Spectrum - what's the point? As far as you're concerned, if the symptoms don't match Sam's EXACTLY - the person (whether it's me, Amanda, David, Cube Demon or anyone else) is a fraud of some sort."

    Exactly, and I'm not about to waste time I could spend on better things trying to prove to that dipshit something he'll never believe in any case. What indeed would be the point? The guy's an imbecile (morally and intellectually) and isn't worth the effort. When my degree certificate was on show as my avatar, with my graduating university clearly named on it, he still said I graduated from Oulu with the M. Ed., and - despite him knowing I'm Scottish, he still wrote that I'm Finnish. He's incapable of learning. He was never in the military... or, if he was, he would have to have been dishonourably discharged for insubordination. But we all know that John's a lying bastard anyways, so... Sam probably isn't autistic at all, and John is not a graduate at all, and nor was he in military service.

    End of story.

    I can probably give theories on this, Mr. Andrews. I have no proof on what took place so I am not accusing him on any of this.

    Best told the cops what the cops wanted to hear and Best may be good friends with some of the cops in his area. It's what is called down here "the good ole boy" network. For all we know Best may have made the cops some sandwiches, gave them some beer and hot dogs and did other things or may have slipped them some of his gambling earnings.

    He and the cops who are probably some of his buddies had a few drinks and laughs.

    Basically his town's police force may be corrupt. I don't know.

    Here is another tidbit the police in America. In america, the courts have ruled here time and time again that the police are there to protect society at large and not the individual.

    There was a case in which this man kept trying to tell the police that he was in danger by a group of thugs and the fucking police left him there. The thugs either killed him or brutalized him bad.

    Here is another case, Mr. Andrews. This woman called the police long before she was going to be raped. The cops didn't show up for an hour. She was raped anyway. She sued law enforcement and lost the case. Guess why? The courts ruled that the police had to protect the community at large at the time.

    This is why so many people oppose gun control in our country and even why I have apprehensions about gun control.

    In fact, Dominoes Pizza arrival time is much faster than the police's arrival time.

    There is a book called Dial 911 and Die. http://www.amazon.com/Dial-911-Die-Richard-Stevens/dp/0964230445

    I've already told Phil all of this.

    It could be that the police force there is more concerned about his community as a whole than the actual individuals there. I don't know.

  • Cube,

    You're making me feel thankful that I live in Finland. I can certainly see why there's fucking in the US to live there for, after what you tell me.

    At least here the police will do something, on the whole.

  • David, there wass an example to prove Cube right about John and his local smokeys on his blog. Oh but he's deleted it.

    This was a result of his euthanasia post, which is also gone from his blog. I have also retained that.
