I read an article in the Guardian today and found out sndrake's and Diane's organization has its UK sister. Cheers guys Posts: 5700 | Registered: Feb 2002

Just because I've been away doesn't mean I haven't been busy.
Background: Diane and I had both corresponded with Jane Campbell and some of the other UK disability activists in the past. One day Jane emailed me to ask if it would be OK to launch a branch of NDY in the UK.
Well, that didn't take much thought. On behalf of Diane and myself, I told her we'd be thrilled and honored. Kept the whole thing under wraps until they were ready to go public.
Thanks for the heads-up on the article. I missed that one with all the pre-Thanksgiving prep today and some general chaos yesterday.

Great! Congratulations on seeing some additional fruits of your labors, sndrake. (Or should I say "labours"? )

CT - I haven't forgotten the question you asked on the recent autism/cure thread. I mean to get back to it. The answer won't be a short one - and we have had fundraisers, end of year reports and other stuff taking up time and energy.
I'll probably start with a question: Is it ethical or honest for medical researchers to talk in terms of "cure" regarding research into autism and other lifelong conditions and disabilities? The short answer is "no" - the long part is explaining why.
Edit to add: and I think the reasons will make sense to you from a medical perspective.
