Comments on: Is There Hope?!!! http://www.alongthespectrum.com/2008/01/is-there-hope/ A view of autism from along the spectrum Sat, 17 May 2008 06:10:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Jayne http://www.alongthespectrum.com/2008/01/is-there-hope/#comment-7185 Jayne Wed, 30 Jan 2008 03:05:07 +0000 http://www.alongthespectrum.com/2008/01/is-there-hope/#comment-7185 I found the Parade article to be pathetic. A national publication with 70 million readers should be ashamed of themselves. This was a biased and empty article, which could no doubt squash hope. I think it was strategically timed to offset the growing awareness of the many facets of autism. I encouarage everyone to visit the Parade website, and let them hear our voice!

They don't write like that any more and Suzanne has no right to smite the heirs with her lack of graces Hope had grown grey hairs,
Hope had mourning on,
Trenched with tears, carved with cares,
Hope was twelve hours gone;
And frightful a nightfall folded rueful a day
Nor rescue, only rocket and lightship, shone,
And lives at last were washing away:
To the shrouds they took,—they shook in the hurling and horrible airs.

They don’t write like that any more and Suzanne has no right to smite the heirs with her lack of graces

(Just picture the equivalent possibilities: "What do we know about Islam?" without a single interview with a Muslim...or "What do we know about old age?" without one quote from anyone over 70!)
