"ASD" is not a disorder & it certainly isn't a mental illness (most of us know that)-YT Tony Attwood on Greta Thunberg

TheLoneWolf

I don't know much about Greta, except that many young people are starting to take activist roles-probably bc most of us that are older feel 'beat down' to stop many of the corrupt things in this world. I had to post this short video, mostly-for Dr. Tony's response where he laughs when ask, "What do you think about ASD as being called a mental illness." His laugh & response, that it's 'last century thinking.' I JUST LOVE HIM!

Parents

  • I think Greta is amazing. Her parents are very media savvy and I think they are using their knowledge to enable her to campaign for something she passionately believes in, and she would not do it if she did not want to.

    Climate change is a real threat, the science and evidence is undeniable. If an adult male middle-aged non-autistic person said the things Greta says, they would not be attacked for their mental health or ASD status, which are in fact irrelevant to the message.

    Just my opinion obviously!

    Because her parents are stake holders in the parent companies that own majority European media. The same parent companies that know own green energy firm who had to switch because they ran out of natural resources to exploit. Of course her parents are media savvy they both actors and her mother is an opera singer and grand father is a director. 

    Greta ASD status was weaponised so people would not question what might be going on really. Its miss educated thousands of moronic neuro typicals which has been effecting be negatively since.
