Jenny McCarthey says there are no autistic adults

[Professor Yaffle]

Eos, just imagine a few emoticons in Ivor's post and calm down a little. I worry for your blood pressure sometimes.

Hm? Was my post too direct? I often wonder why they seem to convey that my blood pressure is going up. I understand that Ivor is probably playing devil's advocate, giving us a chance to respond, and I feel that the information needs to be countered with appropriate reasoning, whether it is for him or whomever he got the arguments from.

I'll tell you what does get my blood boiling:

All five of those (including Mike Adams'-who is being addressed in the blog) websites probably make up most of McCarthy's "google diploma".

Before clicking on that link, I would have bet a substantial amount of money that one of the 5 sites was Whale. Hasn't she heard of Scopie's Law*?










* Which reminds me that everyone needs to reference this law as often as possible in order to make it notable enough for wikipedia.

While every google university degree OUGHT to come with a mandatory signed certificate decreeing Scopie's law will be acknowledged and abided by, the lack of certification in general for google degrees and diplomas awarded is an ongoing problem.

Please quote the law here for others to review and abide by.

Me too. She used to have a rather blue complexion, but recently it's turned pink.

Scopie's Law states:

In any discussion involving science or medicine, citing Whale.to as a credible source loses you the argument immediately ...and gets you laughed out of the room.​

Perhaps its because you aren't gay..

Just because he's not autistic anymore does not mean he's not gay...
