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

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
  • She’s just a puppet being abused by people with nasty agenda. It’s child abuse on a global scale. If you live her it’s like loving Johnson. Love him - you’re like him. Unstrustworthy thief. 

    Like Greta and you’re just adding to the child abuse she’s going through 

  • I wonder if there would have been quite so much hostility and views of her being in some way 'controlled' had she been a boy, rather than a girl? I believe that she is an adult now, as she is 18 years old. Being the daughter of an actor and opera singer and the granddaughter of a theatre director doesn't strike me as being particularly tainted by corporate big-business, quite the opposite. Besides which, who is responsible for the actions of ones parents?

  • Actually, my first step in my Peacemaking career was finding his brother Richard, Lord Attenborough, the WW1 battledress uniforms for his first outing as a producer, Oh! What A Lovely War. It upset Joan Plowright considerably, as she saw it as detracting from the satire in her budget-driven use of pierrot dress. As far as I was concerned, it consolidated my claim to being a heritage folkie, having been taught Sussex Morris by Freddy Hambleton as an 8 year old. More usefully, a couple of months later, with basic drill training complete, I was given special orders to be in uniform outside the School gates at 0630 Saturday. Bemused, I none the less complied, catching the milk train, and was standing there feeling as foolish as only a 14 year old utterly green CCF Cadet can, when a parp-parp came down the road and the High Command hove into view, aboard a Charabanc - in reality, the cast of the film, en route from Plowright's Theatre Royal Stratford to Clapham Common, in full fig, as a PR stunt, to join the London-Brighton Vintage Car Rally - including Kenneth Moor, the star of Genevieve, who'd just made the event famous. But not just him, the cream of 1960s stage, from Gielgud and Olivier through the Redgraves and  Mills to Maggie Smith and Ian Holm. More stage nobility and knights than I care to think of. I snapped a salute, and was saluted back, but in that, a message passed. The kids in 1969 are every whit the measure of those of 1917. What they didn't know is my great-grandpa was an actual hero of 1914, the embodiment of Gallant Little Belgium recovering from his wounds in the Sussex Country House set. As it was, one of the songs was still our marching song, so when Maggie sings, "a baby boy-scout", it's sort of personal.

  • he stole our boaty mc boatface though lol

  • I have to say that I value Sir David Attenborough's opinion over yours. 

  • Greta is specifically chosen / programmed to take advantage of the 'speshul' girl-child persona to tug the heart strings and fog the minds of the typical viewer.     An underage 'mother earth' shtick.    All very cynical, coordinated and timed by a whole team of media professionals to influence public opinion to get funding support for their many parasitical businesses. .

    I feel sorry for her - she's been totally used, abused and will be dumped when she's no further use to them.
