We have a dedicated thread
here if you'd like to add to it. Suffice to say Amanda is far from the only faker on there, she's just the most dedicated.
true, there is other fakers and many many self dxers and plenty of folks that have been IMO mis DX'd again this is the new adhd, it seems everybody and there uncle is considered autistic these days, its very over diagnosed, and there is other conditions that have autistic traits, or mimic autism, but it is not autism... i mean look att hat amythiest girl, and many others on youtube, some has been DX'd but im still not convinced they are autistic, especially when they---like another person mentioned, they ''advocate'' and share about it constantly and they brag and show off there stims and fidget toys, some even video melt downs, 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
One of the contradictions I found while reading her pretentious Photoessay (which I actually only saw for the first time today) is that she mentions that her parents initially bought into some of the stuff the professionals told them about institutions and autism, etc. But in more recent posts on her blog, she claims that her father was also autistic and that he "got her". If her father was autistic and apparently functional enough to have a wife and children, why would HE of all people fall hook line and sinker for the alleged bullshit from the psychiatric professionals? If he "got her", shouldn't he as a fellow autistic have been her biggest advocate?
And as is usually the case with Munchies and spoonies, the people who comment on her blog posts are basically a bunch of yes-men who tell her how brave she is and that it breaks their hearts that those big mean doctors and caregivers violate her dignity every day. I'm not convinced that Amanda isn't posting at least some of those comments herself.
yeah its very possible, i would not put it past her, but amanda is very crafty and smart, too bad this is ho she applies herself and has for years
i actually do not rember her ever saying her dad was autistic, i doubt he was, and like you said if he was he was a odd mild aspie type, meaning other then being odd and quirky, he was normal an functional and raised a family made a living and so on. and i have no clue how she does it, but from allreaches of the internet, when anyone makes a video or a such showing amanda is shit and exposes the lies , it quickly gets taken down, even recent a few months ago a acquaintance made a vid, and in a few weeks it was taken down....
