http://www.nytimes.com/20...New York Times article:<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/09/weekinreview/neurodiversity-forever-the-disability-movement-turns-to-brains.html<br /><br />well worth a read up to the end of page 2:<br /><br />Many of those who advocate greater tolerance for brain quirks caution that it should not serve as an excuse for individuals to behave inappropriately. ''It's not a get-out-of-jail-free card,'' Dr. Ratey said. ''It's an awareness of what you need to do or accept about yourself and then decide, 'Do I want to fit in more or not?'''<br /><br />The answer, increasingly, may be ''not.'' Many A.D.D. adults say their condition contributes to their creativity, and some with Asperger's are now critiquing those they [label] ''neurotypicals.''<br /><br />On Internet sites like the Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical [http://isnt.autistics.org/], autistics satirize the cultural fascination with deviance. ''Neurotypical individuals,'' states the Web site, ''find it difficult to be alone'' and ''are often intolerant of [or predatory on] seemingly minor differences in others.''<br /><br />''Tragically,'' it adds, ''as many as 9,625 out of every 10,000 individuals may be neurotypical.''<br /><br />:-D<br /><br />& from the explanation page on<br />http://isnt.autistics.org/<br />".....If you are only familiar with the most severe and rarest forms of autism, you may wonder how anyone could claim that autism has advantages. It does! For one, autistics have an extraordinary ability to focus on a subject, and "think" in unique ways. This gives us the potential for profound original thought (for example, Albert Einstein was almost certainly autistic). Autistic emotions are another advantage: we're much better at separating our feeling from our thinking, and [some of us] can stay calm and rational in situations where neurotypical persons are paralyzed by fear or panic. The down side is that our capacities for social interaction and communication, and the ways we process sensory input, are impaired to varying degrees.<br />I am happy to be who I am, despite these problems. But even if I were one of the persons most severely disabled by autism, I would still be a human being, not a defect, disorder, or mistake."<br /><br /><br /><br />HG has not been treated as a human being by "the great and the good" of Jersey. <br /><br />Incidentally, Albert Einstein was on the Nazi's death list with a $5,000 bounty on his head [/"Not yet Hanged"] by those who considered themselves 'superior'. <br />I do wonder if they sewed their seed amongst the great and the good families of our island before they left.<br />I also wonder when the wartime collaboration files at Jersey Archive will (if ever) be made public<br />or if (like so many other historic remains) they will be burned, or just 'lost', like so many HDLG witness statements :<br /><br />http://voiceforchildren.blogspot.com/2011/02/no-body-remains.htmlDid the Nazis ever leave? ...Jersey deports the wrong ones :-Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-83634012067134309402013-10-27T10:29:32.348+00:002013-10-27T10:29:32.348+00:00A little off subject but of interest I hope.
The ...A little off subject but of interest I hope.<br /><br />The Neanderthal Theory of Autism - it is only a THEORY, but it may have some merit and remains open to much debate.<br /><br />Neanderthals had a brain about 10% larger than modern humans. This brain was presumably adapted for a cold but stable environment. <br /><br />Evolution works by a process of keeping what is "good", what "works". Different things "work" in different environments. Obviously the dynamic changes with modern human's ability travel, to control, or indeed to plan/intervene, but otherwise diversity in a species is maintained by different environments. Diversity is good because it helps to "future proof" a species against changes or challenges in the environment. "Modern" humans are only a speck on a long pathway. They are not necessarily the "apex" that they like to think -unless they destroy themselves. -Some "apex" !<br /><br />"Neanderthal" is sometimes used as an insult. Those who wish to disrespect their ancestors are welcome to.<br />All Europeans have between about 1% and 5% Neanderthal in their genome, and this contributes to human diversity.<br /><br />The Emergence of Modern Human Behavior Through the Inclusion of Difference<br />http://www.neanderthalproject.com/?p=29<br /><br />The Neanderthal Theory of Autism <br />http://www.neanderthalproject.com/?p=32<br /><br />The world needs all kinds of minds <br />http://www.neanderthalproject.com/?p=30<br /><br />All dated 2010 so may be out of date.<br /><br />Modern society 'processes' its members - id you don't fit the mold you are squashed - tough!<br />Modern human society is in danger of danger of damaging the ASSET of its own diversity. <br /><br />I am proud of my minority Neanderthal heritage, irrespective of whether it is linked to autism spectrum or anything else.<br /><br />Good letter btw HG.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-37161799185051179772013-10-26T09:28:15.918+01:002013-10-26T09:28:15.918+01:00Thank you for your kind words.

But I can say that with regard to the churchwarden case, firstly I gave the Dean a great amount of detail in writing, especially after he didn't handle the complaint properly at the start, he then consulted his lawyers, and told me I needed to submit a formal complaint. I discussed this with the director of Autism Jersey as I was baffled as to why my complaint so far was not considered formal, because of the Dean's handling of the complaint, we wondered if he was stalling things. I then submitted a formal letter of complaint, of which there are copies. As the Dean continued to be reluctant to handle the complaint, I contacted the Diocese of Winchester, and despite misinformation in the Korris report and by the Dean's supporters, that was my first ever contact with the Diocese and my first complaint to them.

She is Head of Chambers at 36 Bedford Row and not 7 Bedford Row. From the CV one will see that she has represented or been involved with a number of abuse cases which must give encouragement not only to Jersey victims but to people like you and me who have pressed so hard for a Committee of Inquiry.<br /><br />Re Hill Street Advocates/Lawyers. I do believe that there are a few lawyers who are more interested in the money they can earn out of the justice system that about justice itself. However it is the Jersey justice system and in particular its Legal Aid system that is badly at fault.<br /><br />I believe you might have attended some of Jersey Human Rights Group’s meeting when we have had the Battonier and other Speakers discussing our Legal Aid system where lawyers are supposed to give of their time freely or if the client has an income they must make a contribution towards the lawyers cost.<br /><br />The system is such that it does not benefit a lawyer to spend too much free time on a client because it gives less time to spend on those who can “afford to pay for Jersey Justice.” The Legal Aid system is badly in need of a review but what is disappointing is that when we asked the Battonier and lawyers if they would join us in calling for a review, they would prefer not to. The reason being that the present system, as flawed as it is, still suits lawyers best and like States Members on States Reform, turkeys don’t vote for Christmas.<br /><br />By coincidence I am typing this Comment in London before meeting Dame Heather Steel where I hope to persuade her that HG’s arrest and deportation/removal from Jersey is part of her Terms of Reference. I shall also be drawing her attention to how HG was represented by Jersey Legal Aid System and producing evidence to show how, like so many others before her, was a victim of it.<br /><br />Ian, sometimes it is better to concentrate on and change a flawed system rather than waste time on those who benefit from itBob Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834363721495974167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-14755203576036325512013-10-24T00:26:35.734+01:002013-10-24T00:26:35.734+01:00On a more hilarious note, Hill Street, "The S...On a more hilarious note, Hill Street, "The Street of Forty Thieves", is the most rancid, disgusting, repulsive address known to the common man in Jersey over the last 30 years!

When one lone vulnerable person comes along, doesn't fit in, and is abused, they collectively condemn that person because they do not understand them, do not understand abuse and do not see how such a person could be right or they could be wrong.
