Note: On March 21, 2005, I decided to start putting the date made and date last edited on my articles. If there is no date on an article, this means it was either made/last edited before March 21, 2005, or I forgot (as I often do) to put the date on.
Many people involved in the abortion debate don't really understand the situation. By Ettina.
An informational piece, not quite finished, about the myths of autism. By Ettina.
An argument about how functioning level is not related to happiness, citing giftedness and Angelman Syndrome as examples. By Ettina.
About teasing, and how the phrase 'sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me' isn't true. By Ettina
About why my experience of psychotherapy was much better than most autistic people. Unfinished. By Ettina
Not exactly a rant, this is more a column-thingy that I post insights about NTs on. By Ettina
A rebuttal to the belief expressed by one book that animals can't be traumatised. By Ettina
An analysis of Kit Weintraub's A Mother's Response(responding to Misbehaviour of Behaviourists by Michelle Dawson) and a parody of the descriptions of autism. Points out the logic errors in her argument and possible reasons for them. This is a joke, but some of it is meant seriously. By Ettina
As the title suggests, an analysis of Lenny Schafer's attack on Michelle Dawson and the autistic rights movement. Unfinished. By Ettina.
Some people, both for and against homosexuality, compare it to pedophilia. But there is an important difference. Unfinished. By Ettina. I will probably not finish this anytime soon, since I need to work out my issues about sexual abuse some more first.
An analysis of the alleged link between MMR vaccination at 18 months and autism. By Ettina.
A google-bombing autism awareness campaign I joined. This will probably become my links website.
An analysis of how to define play and imagination, and whether autistics really are impaired in those areas. By Ettina.
A description of a stereotype I've noticed doctors make, of a child with a rare syndrome who will never walk or talk and probably won't live to [insert age], and my response to it. This was originally written for a new member of the Holoprosencephaly Yahoo Group. By Ettina
A letter to the webmasters of a highly offensive website, Autism Speaks. Despite the name, autism speaks is not about autistics speaking, but NTs speaking for autistics. As I have gotten no response, it appears I can add "not listening to autistics" to that description. I wrote this quite awhile ago, but only recently got around to putting it up. By Ettina
An analysis of the issue of politically correct language, and whether it really matters that much. By Ettina
Mikita Brottman wrote a discriminatory article about Asperger Syndrome called Nutty Professors. This link is to a number of responses to that article, one of which is mine.
Facilitated communication is a controversial communication method. Many studies have shown FC users typing what their facilitator knows rather than what they know, which is assumed to be proof FC is a hoax. However, advocates of FC have some good criticisms of these studies, which I describe here.
