Aspierations and Autiness Summer Party
Aspirations and Autieness Summer Party
On the 26th of August I hosted Aspierations sixth meet up with the previous ones being in Greenwich, Manchester, Nandos in Greenwich, Colchester and then the Christmas party which was also held in Wensley C
lose, Eltham.
Wensley is a Children’s Developmental Centre and has a well equipped sensory room and a beautiful out door play area along with friendly staff, it’s the same place my son was diagnosed as autistic and holds a special place in my heart.
The day of the party dawned bright and sunshiny and after getting up early to prepare sandwiches, fruit salad, chicken and a vegetable salad myself and my little people set off in a cab to prepare the room.
With help from good friends the party went with a bang and was well attended with the children being thoroughly entertained by StoryFace who very kindly donated her time to make balloon creations and gave the children glitter tattoos which they 
adored.
I’d like to thank The Works for their brilliant gift of goods for the children.
As I had over thirty autism books to get rid of I took them along and got a donation 
pot from the nearby Demelza a wonderful children hospice that provide long term and end of life care for sick children.
Everyone who wanted a book popped what they could into the pot and I will update with how 
much was raised when I receive the certificate.
I’d like to thank Sara Challinger, Tracy Selby, Laura Chase, Hayley Porter and friend who was lovely but who’s name has escaped me, Ross Muncur, Carmel Rea for coming and bringing so much tasty food, their gorgeous children and most 
importantly….themselves.
I’d like to thank Linda Mitchell a renowned music therapist whom many of the families already knew for popping in and making my little daughters day, thanks to StoryFace for making the day magical and most of all thank you to Wensley Close for allowing me to host the meet up.
Roll on October for the Nandos gathering! Xxx

Autistics, Vaxxed and The Never Ending Story
“People who have no hope are easy to control, and whoever has the control has the power!”.
G’Mork from The Never Ending Story. https://youtu.be/5sEZmMeH96Q
You may wonder why an autism advocate is writing about T.N.E.S in the same article as Vaxxed….well there’s good reason as explained above.
Andrew Wakefield, Polley Tommey and Del Bigtree are spreading like wildfire right now.
Their whole ethos is built on fear, they spread the word that vaccines, specifically the MMR are causing autism in our children, they are also blaming SIDS and childhood cancer on vaccines.
Being a parent is built on worry, worry that our children are healthy, happy, getting enough nutrients, enough joy…worry that we won’t be here one day to care for them.
That worry is further compounded when you have a child born with a disability, especially one that makes our children as vulnerable as autism.
We panic they will wander, that they will get taken advantage of or that they will never find love, that they will need long term care….
The Vaxxed film was shrouded in controversy as soon as it was announced it would be shown at the TriBeCa film festival.
Add then Robert De Niro stating that “ This film needs to be seen” and confiding he believes his own son regressed from the MMR and you have a melting pot of publicity that won’t quit.
You have the foundations laid for a conspiracy theorists dream, ‘They wanted this film banned because it shows the truth!’, throw in a religious element …’ Gods green earth has been defiled, natural is the only way no man made chemicals no vaccines.’
And then you have the people with no hope…the parents of autistic children who have been left after a diagnosis raw.
They are scared, angry and desperate for someone, something to blame…a conspiracy by the government that took their dreams of a child that would be like them do what they had dreamed of was perfect, is perfect.
These parents do love their children, please make no mistake on that.
They believe they have no hope because they have been told they have none, that their children will only fit into society if they comply, if they are molded to a neurotypical ideal which for some is impossible.
A child that displays less autistic behaviors does not mean that that child is now recovered, it means they have learned to internalize .
They are told early intervention is the golden Grail, and are recommended 40 hours of ABA as standard for a child as young as two.
They are led to believe these children have damaged guts and need to be on strict diets.
Those with children with severe sensory seeking behaviors are left to imagine a life of pain and no real advice is given about how to help these people.
And let’s be clear there’s something many forget, these are people.
They may be younger then us adults but children deserve the right to think, to express feelings whether they be negative or not.
There are many different aids available to help those with stronger seeking needs, ie a helmet and crash pads for head bangers who crave the hard priopreceptive feedback from a head butt to a wall in a meltdown.
These are the individuals most depicted in the Vaxxed propaganda trailers and publicity, the children and adults who are developmentally delayed and have sensory processing disorder as well as an autism diagnosis.
The Vaxxed crew along with a woman named Sheila Lewis Ealey mother of an autistic teenager are compounding those fears, they are spreading the view that autism (as stated by Sheila Lewis Ealey ) is a holocaust
I’ll repeat that.
A Holocaust.
That we as Autistic’s are maimed, injured and HAVE NO HOPE.
There’s a lot of money to be made on fear, who’s paying for the Vaxxed bus to do a tour of the states in the US?
Who paid for the Vaxxed bus?
Fear.
Sadly they will keep on and will seek to silence anyone who stands up to call them out hence the recent flurry of publicity surrounding autism advocate Fiona Oleary after she started a petition to stop Vaxxed being shown.
Anyone who brings hope will be perceived as a danger to these people and their business, and that’s what this is make no mistake this is a business.
And us?
We are the autistic adults, we were once children.
There are many of us, we communicate in many ways, some of us have savant skills and some of us do not, we are all individuals and have many different abilities.
It’s true that autism can be disabling, it has aspects that can be hard but to say I wouldn’t want to be autistic would mean I didn’t want to live.
It would deny the very foundation of me, it’s wholly me.
These parents have been hoodwinked into believing that autism arrived…it was not there before it invaded their child through a hypodermic needle.
The outward signs of autism often coincide with the age the MMR is administered.
The Vaxxed members are doing the rounds of fear, manipulation and above all guilt on the parents of the US with a worldwide reach and it had to be said they are doing a thorough job.
But I hope that just one parent will read this and embrace their child for who they are, not what they think they were robbed of.
We are never going away, we have so much to bring so much to give, so many tales to tell.
We are a story, one that never ends.

Vaxxed Threaten to Sue Autistic Advocate for Petition
When Andrew Wakefield was disbarred and his paper claiming the MMR vaccine causes autism were disproven that should technically have been the last we heard from him.
It wasn’t.
Andrew has found a welcoming and desperate community, the parents of autistic children.
They want answers as to how their children became autistic and he’s more then happy to share his views with them, views that have been disproved here in the UK.
Wakefield is not, however, advising these parents that autism is genetic, he is claiming instead that they are vaccine injured.
He has found now insurmountable popularity with his new film Vaxxed.
This film states that autism is caused by vaccinations and advises parents NOT to vaccinate, please note here I am saying nothing untrue.
The damage done by Wakefield is perfectly depicted by the tragic death of a five year old autistic boy who died after having chelation to remove the ‘heavy metal poisoning’ his parents believed him to have got from the MMR vaccination.
The little boy died from a massive heart attack brought on by Hypocalcaemia , a condition which is triggered by depleted calcium levels in the body.
This little boy had no heavy metal poisoning, he lost his vital metals including his iron and zinc and fatally, his calcium.
Fiona Oleary Autism Advocate from ART Autistic Rights Together, has started a petition to limit the reach of Vaxxed and stop it being shown.
Fiona, who is autistic herself and mother to five children two of whom are also autistic has received a letter stating that the filmmakers whom produced Vaxxed intend to prosecute her if she does not desist in trying to limit the amount of places they can show the film.
Vaxxed who state autism is caused by vaccines are threatening to sue an autism advocate for speaking out against them.
I spoke to Fiona who wished for complete transparency and gave me permission to show the email said in response to my first question asking what drove her to write the petition?
“To protect babies and children,
to put an end to the ongoing injustice that we the Autistic community face every day!”.
My second question was why Fiona believed Vaxxed should not be shown?
“ It is endangering thousands of children’s lives.
Thousands of babies and children die each year from preventable diseases.
Vaccines do NOT cause Autism.
Vaccines save lives!”
I then asked how Fiona felt after receiving the email with a legal letter threatening legal action?
“ I am in shock!
I cannot believe that Wakefield and his Cohorts would sink to this level!”
Fiona Oleary has been campaigning against autistic mistreatment in particular the scientifically unproven MMS chlorine dioxide bleach ‘treatment’ and the unregulated blood product GcMAF for well over two years now.
It’s worrying to say the least that Vaxxed has gained the amount of following it has.
In the trailer we see founder of autism charity Autism Trust based here in the UK Polly Tommey stating her belief that vaccines cause autism, her manager of the charity based in Surrey is selling the Vaxxed merchandise and was happy to discuss and disclose in a call with Fiona who had phoned asking about the merchandise that that any monies made from the sales were sent straight over to Tommey and Wakefield.
Is it defamation to protest a film being shown or is it an advocates right to raise concerns?
One things for sure, Wakefield maybe disbarred but parents, sadly are listening.
