There has been a video posted on YouTube by one brave man who stood alone with a sign reminding the walkers of this fact. Participating in these, as opposed to standing around the walkers and reminding anyone who cares to look that the autistic are bitterly opposed to them, is basically rallying against our inclusion in society. It is, in fact, rallying for our genocide. Second, I do not have autism. I am autistic. Please learn the difference in implication between these two statements, as you never know when you might meet an autistic Child Of The 80s who is even less able to cope with what is thrown at him than I am. Mark,
