🪦 Deceased Amanda/Amelia Baggs / witharoundsmoothstone / ballastexistenz - moonfaced malingering autistic "activist"/SJW

[Shanndog]

I don't know if anyone else on here mentioned this, but here are Amanda's "official" documents that prove she's really autistic, you guise.

http://web.archive.org/web/20090721131537/http:/ballastexistenz.autistics.org/?page_id=289

Personally, I think there's a chance that she could have very mild Asperger's, but not full-blown autism to the extreme extent she's playing it.
The number of censored portions in her care plan are alarming. I can understand blacking out your social security number and stuff like that, but notice that the entirety of the "Goals and Dreams" section is censored. Also, she leaves the name of the doctor who wrote this crap for her in plain sight (I looked him up; he died several years ago) but any time another doctor is mentioned, their name is redacted. I'd love to know what it said under the fitness/nutrition section, but she sadly didn't include that.

i actually told her one time, she might have been a mild aspie but because of medical issues she came across as '' more severe'' ( this is before i was on to her game ) and that was the start of her hating me and a few years after that she blogged andsaid i was stalking her and i was one of those disabled people who claims to be ''lower functioning than thou'' i shit you not, and everything she said in the writing was everything she did and does, but she was saying me and ''the others '' in her life did it... i wrote about this in detail in a earlier post about amanda baggs in the main blog about her on here )..its possible but from what we cansee she relly mentally ill and a munchie malingerer

I knew I'd seen that face somewhere.

In all seriousness, fucking hell. I have some knowledge of the more famous Munchhausen by proxy cases and the motivations of the abuser those were pretty clear. Fame, sympathy from friends and family, money or free stuff were usually heaped upon them. Not to mention a lack of empathy or having some kind of mental illness. I assume the motivations and character traits of someone with Munchhausen's would be the same.

If what one_time_user has said is true, then Amanda is living a relatively normal life. Why isn't she a local character? Not necessarily like the guy with the carriage. Amanda could be a focus of local charities and businesses. Get a "Walk for Amanda" going to raise money for one of her litany of conditions. The type of person who might have a stranger sit down next to them on the bus and explain how their own life was touched after hearing such an inspiring story of overcoming adversity. The national attention just doesn't seem like enough to me. That leaves mental illness and the asspats. I would say that I don't think a person would do what she's doing just for the asspats and she has to be profoundly ill along with falling victim to tumblrism, but we all know that it's just as likely to be one as the other.

I'm inclined to believe the stories from one_time_user. The video was verifiably taken at a supermarket in Burlington and that looks like Amanda to me. Both the person and clothes. The women Amanda is with could be a caregiver, but she looks like a lesbian you'd see up here. There are tons of them in New England if you go to a rich town like Burlington. You'd think it was Portland, OR or Seattle. Does Amanda have a girlfriend? Some of the relationships you see boggle the mind. What a twist that would be after getting confirmation of her bullshittery.

that was amanda, the faker galore herself

I want to say it's fetal alcohol syndrome.

no if Amanda was FAS shed neevr been gifted like she was, and if she was fas she would have not had the skills to plan and keep up such an act all these years

when a person is havinga real melt down they cannot ''prepare'' and turn on a camera and hit record and keep in front of the camera, ......unless its a put on performance....... hell i got, or i used to have buttons in my dynavox to push to say im over whelmed, ive had enough, ect ect, and i have never ever ever, not once, been able to process and organize and be calm enough tot hinkt o hitt hose buttons, before, or during a out burst or melt down.... because actual out bursts and melt downs are sudden, and once they hit, its a ocean wave its gotta run its corse, your brainis so over whelmed, frustrated confused, drained, ect....... so sorry to ramble but yeah, i ts bullshit, these advocates make some good points, and id be more ok with em if they were allies, fot he disabled... not claiming they are also disabled.

To be fair autists are all different. My brother is severe and types to talk and he can run away and hide before a chimp out some of the time. He gets buildup time before he hits the point of no return so SOMETIMES I can cool him down before he bolts or starts screaming and flailing. His body language changes drastically when his fuse is lit like he'll stare at the ground and clench his hands into fists but people who don't know it think he's grumpy or sad. I have seen him take his shoes off, put his dishes away and put delicate things down before he has a chimpout. He tells me he feels it building and he tries to "be good" as long as he can but sometimes he can't deal and boom. I think he can prop up his ipad and take video as he chimps out except he won't because he doesn't want his meltdowns on the internet.

I wind him up on purpose becasue he's my brother and I know how to push his buttons but I don't do it to him in public.

I find meltdown videos by autists who can explain it helpful but I hate when parents are putting cameras in their severe kids face while they're screaming and snot nosed because that feels invasive.


tl;dr every autist is different and assuming they all can't do something because you can't doesn't make sense.

I found this one on Wrongplanet. A poster on there started a thread about whether or not autism and schizophrenia are related in any way and Amanda (anbuend) responds. She's qualified to say this because she's read books on it and those psychiatrists just have their heads up their asses. Unless of course they're telling her what she wants to hear.

As a matter of fact, here's a link to the entire thread. It's great because I believe that this is the closest any Wrongplanet members ever came to directly denouncing her narrative as the bullshit to end all bullshits.

Saying schizophrenia doesn't even real sounds like something a schizophrenic would say.

 

[The Buket Woman]

Saying schizophrenia doesn't even real sounds like something a schizophrenic would say.

That's exactly what I thought. The fact that one of her recurring themes in her blog posts is how no one (doctors, caregivers, psychiatrists, autism experts, parents of autistic children, etc.) actually cares about autistic people and would just as soon kill them as to look at them coupled with her apparent idea that any research into the root causes of autism would only lead to eugenics tend to bolster that opinion.

Here's the thread I was talking about earlier where someone pointed out inconsistencies in Amanda's story and the shit hit the fan. The original poster was very polite and didn't throw stones or call names, but everyone immediately got butthurt and kept (probably intentionally) missing the point he was trying to make.

I don't know if that's necessarily a schizo thing, I've seen that mentality repeated a lot on autism activism blogs on Tumblr. The more extreme/sheltered people spread it without thinking critically about it because it resounds emotionally. I'm honestly not sure what to make of her schizophrenia diagnosis; to me, her behavior seems too calculated to be the result of psychosis.

All the white knighting in that thread makes it seem like the Geek Social Fallacies should be renamed the Autist Social Fallacies. Seriously, I get why she chose that group to parasitize now, if they're more worried about losing an "activist" than the fact that she pulled a Rachel Dolezal to get there.

Yeah, you're right. Her thoughts appear too organized and coherent for her to have true psychosis. I'm so glad you mentioned the parallel between Rachel Dolezal and Amanda. When Rachel was first exposed as white, so many people (blacks as well as whites) had the attitude of "Well, she brought up good points about race relations in this country. Isn't that all that matters?". Not if she grossly misrepresented herself and lied about her background and experiences to do it! Same with Amanda. Does she sometimes bring to light important issues about how autistic people are treated? Sure, but like Rachel, she tailors the truth to fit whatever idea she wants to get across at that time. Interestingly enough, I looked up her WP profile and her last post was on April 24, 2011. The post with all the white knighting is from July 2011. Even though it was three months after her apparent departure, I kind of wonder if she had an inkling in the months prior that some members were onto her and she got the hell out of Dodge.

I've always been convinced that Amanda's mother Anna had a hand in this whole thing. Here's a video that she felt compelled to post to address the naysayers back in 2010. Creepy.

i saved them, my dad suggested i save them in case she decided to take it further and use my name or such, for legal reasons he said i should i kep them just in case..., i think i still got it archived.... how would i share them? would i post them here ? its Amanda ! so all 3 are quite long winded but yeah im happy sharing if there is a way to post such long winded blog posts on here

i remember seeing this when it came up--- its quite fishy especially when at 14 she was ''gifted'' and was suppsedly DX'd with other things before the supposed autistic dx .

Amanda's "Blogging Against Disablism" post for 2010.

https://ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/if-only-oh-if-only/
tl/dr; Basically, if you're an non-disabled parent of a disabled child and you ever have even the briefest moment where you wonder "What would things be like if my child didn't have their condition?"(you know, like all human beings do from time to time in life), YOU are an example of all that's wrong with the world. The very first comment even challenged her a bit.

Someone on Lolcow Farms a while back had a plausible theory as to what may have made Amanda do this. She was an extremely gifted child who probably had a very easy time of school. So easy in fact that at just 14, she was sent to a special university just for pre-college aged geniuses such as herself. That's when shit got real. In her normal high school, she was always being praised for her intelligence and may have even been considered somewhat popular because of it. But at college where all the other kids were considered the best of the best in their schools, she wasn't special anymore; she just blended in. (Personally, I think even if a kid that age is gifted, sending them off to a college across the country to live on a campus in a dorm the same way you would an 18 or 19-year-old is a bad idea. They don't have the life skills and maturity level yet and if 18-year-olds sometimes find it daunting and crack under the pressure, why would things be any better for a 14 or 15-year-old?) She may have even felt threatened and for the first time in her life, she may have realized that maybe she wasn't necessarily as gifted as she thought. Overwhelmed, she turned to drugs to cope and soon realized that she could get the attention she craved in a new way — as someone with mental issues. This served a double benefit because not only does it get people to coddle her and waive certain responsibilities for her, it also lets her save face by claiming intelligence while spinning a tale of woe about how she was cut down in her prime.
Then she added more and more physical issues until she became the hairy, self-righteous, presumably foul-smelling snuffleupagus we know today.

I just happened to look up and find out that today is Amanda's 37th birthday! Perhaps she'll celebrate by shoving birthday cake into her tube and then blogging about the ensuing health crisis.

whoa that raises a good point she has always seemed to show this need to be the most special the most lowest functioning, the most severe complex disabled ect ect. sot his does make sense it is possible i think

More glaring discrepancies. She says she has always had severe language and communication deficits, but they picked her at 13 to be on a debate team?
https://ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/typing-and-public-speaking-not-just-for-auties/

The thing I always wondered was how Amanda has managed to keep this going for so long. She lives in an apartment complex specifically for the disabled and apparently receives various staff services throughout the day to help with ADLs. At first, I wondered if it was just a regular government housing project and Amanda was simply calling it disabled housing to play things up. But I looked it up and Decker Towers Apartments is in fact specifically for those with disabilities. I also found a transcript from her infamous 2007 CNN interview and her case worker was briefly interviewed. An internet check of his name reveals that he really is a clinical case manager in the state of Vermont. How is she fooling all these people? Do we know if she is still in Decker Towers? Perhaps they got wise to her and put her out. But then again, if they did that, I find it difficult to believe that Amanda wouldn't be online trying to get sympathy points for being a poor, homeless autistic woman who was once again let down by disability services.

Also, she claims in her post about fat people and feeding tubes that she went through a period of starvation in her early twenties. On her Photobucket (or some similar site) years ago, she had pictures of herself in 1999 at age 19 where she had a fairly normal build. Then she had pictures from around early 2001, about a year and a half later, and she about doubled in size. All other pics from that point on show her to be built basically the same way she is now. SO WHEN THE FUCK WAS SHE STARVING?

i lived at decker so yes it really is a place advertized for elderly and disabled, but the majority there is mentally ill and such as that, which amanda is, no they didnt boot her out i dont think, she does live somewhere else though still in burlington as far as i know and what i can tell from the pics shed posted and she mentioned being in VT in a post but as i said in a earlier post on here, its catch 22 because amanda doing this crap---is bat shit crazy, and in new england people are all about anything goes mind set, so, and its a very passive aggressive society so they might not like something but they are not gonna take a stand to fix or change anything, also amanda is really that good of an actor, she did have them howard center workers wrapped around her thumb, i know, i knew her in person and i lived in the same building she was in, the social workers also waited on her hand and foot they were not there 24/7 but she had help came in a few hours each day.. she did breifly do the i might be homeless soon... her and her friend laura posted pictures about that, something about moldin the building? her and laura was claiming that BHA needed to move them before they died...oh it was a nut-circus yes that building was crappy and in need of upgrades, but nothing came of amanda and Lauras squawking and screeching, i think people just chalked it up to--- crazies in vermont, there is a lot of mentally ill there as well as homeless and the like there

This got me to thinking. We've pretty much established that Amanda was gifted and appeared to be a fairly typical (giftedness aside) young girl who grew up in the 80s and 90s. But I wonder specifically what her personality was like. If you look on her old childhood photos on Photobucket, she's pretty much never shown with any other children apart from her brothers (who appear to be a good 10-15 years older than her, so not really kids at all). Did she actually have friends in her general age bracket? Did other kids seem to like her or merely tolerate her? Did she show any of the smug, melodramatic tendencies she currently does? Were her parents normal and authoritative or were they the "My child can do no wrong, it's your child who started it!" type?

I'm sure we'll never know for sure, but I'm curious because when I was in fifth grade , our school had a small gifted program (10 students maybe, we were a small neighborhood public school) for math and English that used the pull-out method for its students; they would meet once a week or so. I was never in it but I knew a few kids who were. Most were fine, but there were definitely others who you could tell weren't actually getting anything from the classes except for an attitude of "We're in the smart class and our lowly, stupid classmates must bow to us". Humility wasn't a thing to them. One kid in particular that I was somewhat friendly with was down-to-earth, but it was somewhat of an open secret that he was really only in this gifted program because his mother bitched at the school until they let him in. In his regular on-level English class, he got solid B's while I got straight A's and did circles around him on some of our book reports and projects. I wonder if Amanda could have fallen into either one of those categories.

Amanda also seems to have a sort of variation of the special snowflake trope that I like to call the "Except for Me" trope. You see it all the time on Tumblr. Young upper middle class white women who incessantly post Black Lives Matter memes and say that all whites should be ashamed of themselves—except for them because they took that online sociology course for two weeks and got to print out a "diploma" and everything, so they're woke af! Or men who say all men are inherently sexist—except for them because their girlfriend is a feminist who opened their eyes to male privilege! Or PETA enthusiasts who think all animals should be left to run free without human interference—except for the fact that those who post this often have an apartment so full of animals that they could give the crazy cat lady from The Simpsons a run for her money. You get the picture. Amanda has definitely expressed the first sentiment ad nauseum. Just look at her Twitter. The main ones from Amanda on her blog are where she'll say that autistic people can be jerks too and that people should view them as individuals with bad traits as well as good ones—except for her because she's always the hapless victims of evil NT's. Anyone else ever notice that about her?

yes i agree, she is very much a( poor pitiful me -- but i love everything about myself) person.... as far as her growing up and being in gifted classes, and how classmates treated her and so fourth ... from what i understand from the acrchived blogs and such from people who came forward and outed amanda, growing up she had several friend sand acquaintances she played musical instruments, yes many disabled folks play instruments, quite good too--- but my point is, this is what folks who knew in california said, that she played several instruments she spoke fluent english as well as some of a couple other languages, she did not act at all autistic or otherwise disabled, and yes people change over time, and yes people become disabled--- but not like this --- so, andfrom what i understand, she could come off as slightly eccentric , but not a complete snob, but for the most part was engaging and fun, and interactive in a ''NT'' way, and from what i know she was fairly well liked for te most part. i knew her in real life, as i posted in past posts, and i also have a friend who used to live in the same building with us at the same time we knew her, and she was in that diapers and powerchair phase, ( i think she kept that act up from about 2006 ish til around 2012 , 2014 ? ( from about a year before her famous youtube vid...til a couple years after she was outed and her father died )-- then she started walking acting and dressing like.... what she does now---- but she was a total snob and acted like everyone was below her and or was out to get her / accused many folks of stalking and copying her, when in fact she often copied people and ''adopts'' the traits of other disableds so she could play up her ''more low functional than thou'' game as she has done for many years.

 

[The Buket Woman]

Here was the post that I was trying to find the other day when I was talking about her "Except for Me" mentality. She has automatic empathy for anyone disabled or any minority person for that matter. She's not like us mere mortals who have (gasp!) prejudices and hang-ups and sometimes believe the wrong thing and have to be called on it in. Notice how the quote she uses in the beginning talks about how disabled people can be ableist, women misogynistic, etc. Except for — say it with me, class — except for Amanda!

Now read this from a year-and-a-half later.

Now let's assume for argument sake that the above incident actually took place. The woman's behavior sounds erratic and not-so-rational. It sounds like she may have had a legit mental problem. But where's Amanda's knee-jerk sense of empathy for this obviously ill person? She must have left it in her apartment that day. I guess it's not so easy to identify with a disabled person when they're fixin' to whoop your ass, is it bitch?

How much do you wanna bet that if that woman had harassed someone else who then called the police and police had to restrain her even slightly and it made the news, Amanda would be flipping the fuck out on her blog talkin' 'bout "The cops brutally attacked this poor mentally ill woman! Police are out to murder autistic people, you guise!". Guarantee it.

I found this one on Wrongplanet. A poster on there started a thread about whether or not autism and schizophrenia are related in any way and Amanda (anbuend) responds. She's qualified to say this because she's read books on it and those psychiatrists just have their heads up their asses. Unless of course they're telling her what she wants to hear.

As a matter of fact, here's a link to the entire thread. It's great because I believe that this is the closest any Wrongplanet members ever came to directly denouncing her narrative as the bullshit to end all bullshits.

Thanks so much for this! Did she really do all of the things she accused you of in her little monologues? For example, did she really follow staff members out to their cars and cuss their ass out or is that an embellishment?

The biggest lie of all is when she mentions that she was "skin and bones" and starving. The only skin and bones this bitch likely knows about is a two piece and a biscuit.

LOL im with ya about the skin n bones thing, yeah this chick was never skin n bones and certainly would not have become that way after a week....

i tried to explain all this stuff but admin deleted it, said it was ''power leveling'' even when i made the disclaimer, that im not trying to power level im explaining a story . but long story short most of the crap she said was very much twisted and turned, and most of it was stuff SHE was doing, not me or other people
