#autismspeaksorhitler

First off, thank you to everyone for making this blog so great. I never imagined when I started I would be able to find enough content to fill 20+ posts, but here I am. This was partly due to being incredulous at the idea that even with sufficient research, I could make TWENTY. Another was that I sure that no one would care enough to help me out with this. I'm a Junior in High School and hella busy (and now I'll be hella more busy due to that committee thing), so all the help I've gotten with articles being sent to me, with transcripts, and everything. I less than three all of you! 

Anyway, here are the new quotes: 

[They necessitate] restraint [when] they are posing a threat to themselves or to others." 

"We [are] faced with the harsh necessity of [stopping] __...[destructive behavior needs] complete annihilation." 

Note: the harsh language of the quotes HAVE been toned down significantly. The essential nature of them as brought out by relatively simple analysis is preserved. They both have HUGE "white-savior complexes." 

As always, the explanation of how this Tumblr works before the quotes: these quotes have not been altered other than redacting the subject, changing the grammar/flow to match more (Nazis had a strange way of speaking), and the numbers (which are redacted). One is from Autism Speaks’ website/videos/Facebook Comments, and the other is from a Nazi or other Social Darwinist/Eugenicist. Reblog/comment with your answer, send an ask/message, or send me an e-mail at [email protected] and I’ll tally the correct amount of guesses and divide it by the total. 

"The [intelligence] of ___ have been [around forever.] Today [we now recognize some of their talents]...[However, they have deficits that are helped by]...lessons which ___ has receives from others."

"They [are] attentive to these topics [they] learn every possible fact and detail, and as a result become incredible experts [but have no true connection to our communities. This is what causes fear for us.]"

"The societal cost [for children] is enormous, [not to mention the diseased adults.]" 

"A people...which has too few children [of good genes] has a one-way ticket to the grave."

Sorry to leave y'all hanging, but real life sucks and has real-life stuff sometimes. Anyway, I'm combining this post. 

For both of them, I don't believe either got a high enough rate of response, which I peg at 20. [Although if you look back in the archives I might have typed ten as a sufficient number, but no, I didn't actually mean that. Unlike 99.999999% (actual figure) of studies on Autism, I am rigorous with sample size.] Anyway, here are the original quotes for #16, then #17:

"The Nazi principle of killing as a therapeutic imperative is evident in the words of the Auschwitz S.S. doctor Fritz Klein. Klein was asked by an inmate how he could reconcile Auschwitz's smoking chimneys with his purported fealty to the physician's Hippocratic oath, which requires the preservation of life. 'Of course I am a doctor and I want to preserve life,' replied Klein. 'And out of respect for human life, I would remove a gangrenous appendix from a diseased body. The Jew is the gangrenous appendix in the body of mankind.'"--New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/21/magazine/german-doctors-and-the-final-solution.html) 

“We went around the country and we visited hospitals and we visited groups of people or families dealing with it, and we were shocked at how pervasive it was and how little help they were getting.”--Bob Wright http://autismspeakstranscripts.tumblr.com/post/74991687962/what-is-autism-speaks-video-transcript

For #17:

"I will fight to take away your hope. I will plot to rob you of your children and your dreams. I will make sure that every day you wake up you will cry, wondering who will take care of my child after I die?"--Autism Speaks' "I Am Autism" Video http://autisticadvocacy.org/2009/09/horrific-autism-speaks-i-am-autism-ad-transcript/

Reblog with your answer, send an ask, or send me an e-mail at [email protected] and I’ll tally the correct amount of guesses and divide it by the total. (Note: I haven’t done this yet due to low response rate. It would be misleading to type “only 33% got this one right” if literally only three people responded. If just half of the twenty or so of you did, I would.)

"__ fight[s] to take away your hope. __ plot[s] to rob [us] of [our] children and [our collective] dreams. [They] make sure that every day you wake up you will cry, wondering who will take care of my child after I die?"

There was a low response rate again, so no percentages/tallying today. Here are the originals: 

"We at Autism Speaks see the tsunami. What was once 1 in 166 children diagnosed with autism is now 1 in 88 children, and for boys it’s 1 in 54. We recognize the cost to the families, and the country, estimated at up to 2.3 million dollars per person for their lifetime. That translates to well over 137 billion dollars, and does not account for new cases being diagnosed every 11 minutes. We understand there’s 3 million people in America alone, 70 million worldwide, who need us. Add their parents and caregivers and the number becomes too much to bear. We are their voice. We are Autism Speaks." --Narrator for What is Autism Speaks Video. (http://autismspeakstranscripts.tumblr.com/post/74991687962/what-is-autism-speaks-video-transcript) I haven't watched the actual video yet (I've read the transcript, though), but I assume it looks and sounds like the whole "Storm is Gathering" thing NOM put out for Prop' 8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGi2r-M_gQ8
