CCHR call autism a physical handicap Citizens Commission on Human Rights is a Scientology front group. Here is a 2002 statement on their web page: 'Just Sprinkle A Little Kiddy-Cocaine On Your Child's Applesauce' - Citizens Commission on Human Rights Also, earlier related thread http://forums.whyweprotest.net/298-jett-travolta/cchr-opposes-medical-treatment-autism-28404/
Re: CCHR call autism a physical handicap Wow. are they shifting position to cover Travolta? It would be unpresidented loyalty to a member if they did. Also speech impediments are neurological too. So is some blindness. Thanks OP OTBT
Re: CCHR call autism a physical handicap It's a moronic distinction--what about a kid who is hit on the head, and develops both personality problems and problems with motor skills? They play this game however they think it will benefit them. They say that depression is a often a physical illness, then deny that the brain has anything to do with our physical health. They claim that seizures a physical disorder, except when someone in the Sea Org has one. The only sure outcome is "psychiatrists are evil" and "Scientology can help you with that." For what its worth, most autistic kids have some physical problems, to go along with their massive mental and developmental problems.
Re: CCHR call autism a physical handicap funny how their press release page is so mutable. thankfully, the internet is archived. side by side comparisons of the press release page from january 4th 2008 and today: he who controls the past controls the future...
Re: CCHR call autism a physical handicap Oh FFS could you at least highlight wtf I'm supposed to see there? I want those minutes of my life back that I wasted trying to see wtf I'm supposed to see in that comparison.
Re: CCHR call autism a physical handicap i was going to connect the articles on the left to the articles on the right, but they crammed so many in between that most got pushed off the page. point being is a press release from 2002 wasn't there in 2008 but magically appeared in 2009 after the travolta police report got leaked, i.e. David Miscavige is squirreling the everything. link to current page: Press Releases - Citizens Commission on Human Rights link to 01/04/08 version of page: Press Releases - Citizens Commission on Human Rights
Re: CCHR call autism a physical handicap Could be that they released it in 2002 but didn't put it in the index... hm.. It looks very 1984'ish though.
