I did a web search for “Billy Cresp” and found two comments starting with this load of rubbish in an article on Psychology Today by John Elder Robison.

I think this act is getting old, of talking as a milquetoast, benevolent character who wants to offer all involved in the issue a chance to be praised. All to conceal and distract from the regressive and foolish ideology which is being aggressively pushed in devoted service to a nefarious and vicious goal, to keep the nightmare which many highly-disabled autistics live through continuing indefinitely, and even for those born far into the future. Why waste time with all of these verbose, lofty ideas of services/employment etc. when you can just call for welfare checks to pay for basic needs to be funded for those autistics who were unlucky enough to be on the weaker part of the spectrum? Why pretend that services can ever provide satisfactory experiences of societal institutions, even though they don’t remedy the underlying problems within the brain?

Typical Cresp! Still carrying on as though the biggest issue is Autism! It’s NOT! The issue is the lack of supports – and note this, idiot. If the treatment and supports for those who have regressed down the Spectrum as children works and reverses that regression there will be NO ONE at that end! Did you think of that?

No of course you didn’t – because you are claiming to be down there in the mid zone and playing the “poor me” nonsense because he THINKS there are no programs supported in that area by the likes of John and others (myself included!). With plenty on the higher end of the Spectrum there won’t be welfare cheques. There will be jobs. Cresp doesn’t want jobs. He wants “problems within the brain” dealt with.

That was from 2017 in November.

Meanwhile earlier in 2017 in February in an article on NOS Magazine by an anonymous contributor.

There is no such thing as too much cure research. Some autistics would benefit from it. “Integrated” employment is no guarantee of decent employment. There is no proof that all individuals have significant opportunities outside of sheltered workshops, which are not meant to be one’s principal source of income. Why did my integrated employment through vocational services not succeed? I floundered, and all involved were nothing but frustrated with the efforts to sustain my employment. I have a diagnosis, so my experience counts.

No it doesn’t because he is lying as always. He floundered for the very reasons I have always given – he is lazy. There IS such a thing as too much cure research. ANY cure research is too much, because there is no cure for Autism! There IS however a cure for laziness. It’s called getting off one’s duff and doing something about it!

Luckily there haven’t been any search results popping up in the last twelve months.

Cresp is at it again, commenting on the Steve Silberman op-ed piece that I referenced in the latest entry on Mitchell’s Gadfly. It was the usual rubbish and I would have commented except that I had to create an account. Can’t be bothered, so I’ll respond here instead. It started in reply to a person who said;

Nah, man. You’ve got it all wrong. One, there are many autistic people who are able to communicate, whether or not they are verbal. You’re assuming there is only one way to communicate what they want. Two, if anyone should speak for autistic people who are nonverbal/need more support, then it should be other autistic people. Not families of autistic people. But even then, there are nonverbal autistics who CAN communicate what they want.

As for your list of what families of autistic people want, good grief. Vaccines do NOT CAUSE AUTISM. There are already studies about this! Stop continuing a conversation that should have already ended! And an overwhelming majority of autistics DO NOT WANT A CURE (even in the EXTREMELY unlikely case they could find one). You are just as bad as Autism $speaks in terms of what they believe. You are not listening to actual autistic people. Stop making assumptions about what YOU think we want. We are speaking! And you still are NOT LISTENING. Why should families of autistic people get to call the shots? It should be AUTISTIC people that do! And just because there are autistic people out there who can speak and go to the bathroom on their own and not have seizures, it doesn’t make them ANY less autistic and doesn’t mean their voices should not be heard.

This was well said, and Cresp had to try and put it down;

Overwhelming majority? Where is the reliable proof of that claim? I’m not talking of asking around the highest-functioning ones who have no impairments to cure. What a weak case to oppose cure when you have to say the goal is nearly impossible to attain. You can count me as an officially diagnosed autistic who strongly wants a cure.

We already know that Cresp is not Autistic. And he ignores the fact that the majority of the Autistic community don’t want a cure, because we know it’s impossible. Believe me it was hard to accept that I couldn’t publicly correct this right there as indicated.

Someone else then came along and had a crack at someone else;

Excuse you…..I am autistic and I communicate just fine, as do my two autistic children. Not everyone on the Spectrum are non-verbal and to paint everyone with autism as non-verbal or low-functioning just adds to the perception that autistic people are helpless and mentally challenged. Many of us are not.

As for your anti-vax garbage….you are are part of the problem. Vaccines are safe and there is absolutely no connection to autism. This has been repeatedly shown in study after study. What autistic people really want are less “studies” and more services. We don’t want to be “cured”. A “Cure” means genocide. It means we won’t exist. It means testing and aborting fetuses. No thanks.

Again, this was well said – and here comes Cresp again;

What about the autistics who can’t communicate?! What about the ones who really are low-functioning and who are mentally challenged, such as me?! Many of us do have significant and ruinous impairments. You know that’s why cure is needed and deserved. If by worrying of elimination etc., you worry of losing your dominant, elite position within the spectrum, with its privileges and disproportionate benefits, then that elimination is wanted by me and others. Don’t you dare say what autistics want, when you know some of us need and therefore want therapies. You don’t represent me. A lot of those services are crap mediated by do-gooders with mediocre credentials, often regarding us as pets. The saccharine praise bestowed upon those who chant “supports and services” over and over is undeserved, as it often guarantees minimal success. Attacking studies (science) won’t result in an increase in services.

Cresp you are a liar. I’ve said this before and I’ll repeat it – your only impairment is laziness. You got a self diagnosis of Autism in the designer manner that I can not stand, an excuse for poor behaviour. Yeah you need therapy: Boot Camp to get you off your arse and stop making excuses for your life so far.

Lurker showed up again, this time on the Newsweek article about Mitchell. Artie Christou proved his worth by chasing the con artist off using my information without being specific. Cresp started with this response to a comment by Artie aimed at someone else;

Stop plotting against the real victims on the autism spectrum. Stop getting outsiders to turn on us like this. The kind of friends you refer to in such a scenario are like a cultish gang.

You aren’t one of us, Cresp! You’re not Autistic! Artie referenced Canby without naming him and Cresp showed that he didn’t do his homework (Artie reversed Lenny Schafer’s reference to us as “Sandy Hook sociopaths”) on that one. Cresp is the plotter, and Artie called him out as a con artist and that I exposed him long ago. Cresp was cut by that and jumped to the obvious conclusion;

You probably are Phil Gluyas. I am aware of some real con artists. I want my honor restored.

HONOUR?? ROTFLMAO!! He still thinks he’s being believed for goodness sake! He has no honour now, he never has and he never will. Artie rightly IDed my website as the source of the proof that Cresp is a con artist and even referenced the previous entry on this blog without naming it or the source (Casanova’s blog). Cresp’s retort?

You’re not the arbiter of who is a bad person or not. Others can judge too. You haven’t described proof that your ideas make any sense. Your side is out of control.

This assumes again that it’s me he’s talking to when it’s not. I can certainly be an arbiter of who is a good person and who is a bad person with all the information in front of me. Yes, others can judge and once they see what I’ve written they’ll agree with me 100 percent. Autistic activists aren’t out of control at all – that’s how desperate Cresp is to get his con believed. Artie let him know that we all know about the skeletons in his closet and added that others have judged. Get a load of this load of tripe in reply;

Again, you make no sense. This is just another ideology of degeneracy. This filth has stirred up some thugs to say some messed up things in overly aggressive ways. This has gone too far. I am so sick of you jerks enthusiastically wanting to keep us at the mercy of the ignorant mindless general public. My life is awful, but you have the nerve to attack my character.

Artie made perfect sense. This is Cresp’s MO as a con artist – claiming a lack of sense by the writer. He tried that on me as well. Artie’s reply is worth pasting here;

I’m only the latest person to do that and you deserve it. I make no sense? That’s part of your con act. You’re lying. You’re keeping yourself at the mercy of everyone else and it’s up to you to get out of it. No one else. You. Your “awful life” is your creation. Fix it. Start by stopping with the con act. It’s fooling no one. Not me, not anyone else.

Absolutely right, Artie! And all Cresp could say was;

You’re the one who should stop being an emotionally abusive nuisance. Nobody even likes you or cares for you. I can’t just pull myself out of a disability. No matter what I try, it never works! No self-righteous work ethic will solve my problems. Not only have I been down, but I’ve been kicked when I’m down. And to top it off, I’m being consumed by illnesses I can’t afford to get treated. So I don’t want to put up with it anymore! I had enough trying! They can just go to hell for all I care!

I said this before and I’ll repeat it. Cresp’s problem is that he is lazy. There is nothing wrong with him. He is a con artist. He hasn’t tried anything because he doesn’t want to. He says that he’s down, but he down because he’s lazy and not for any other reason. So it’s right for anyone to metaphorically (not actually) kick him while he’s down to make him get back up when he flatly refuses to get up himself. There are no illnesses and if Cresp is serious about not putting up with it anymore he should drop the act and get on with his life right away from the Autistic community.

Artie got the last word, telling Cresp that he was a liar, to go away and that no one was falling for his act. Cresp hasn’t been back.

When I reported Cresp and Best to Manuel, he only kicked Best to the curb much to my annoyance. And as if to prove the point, when I had a crack at Brendan about the correct definition of Neurodiversity he shot back at me. I’ll take it apart right here.

Phil, if you have it all figured out, then why have you been such a menace to society?

I have only been a menace to those who deserve it – like you, Cresp.

I have an official diagnosis, which is more than I can say for the droves of shady characters, especially on tumblr, some who admit to being self-diagnosed, while spreading this vile and twisted ideology.

Cresp does not have an official diagnosis.

What qualifications do you have to undiagnose me?

I don’t need any. It’s your reputation for lying that gives you away.

And at the appointment that led to my diagnosis, my mother was questioned.

I doubt she was even there, given that I think she’s part of the problem – sort of like Mitchell except the result is different.

You can’t disprove the holdbacks I have, which were examined in tests which were conducted on me.

I can by simply calling you a liar – as you always have been and always will be.

What kind of “con artist” puts themselves in the terrible conditions I endure? You don’t know what I’ve been through. I’ve tried so hard many times to do so many things.

Lying again – you’re lazy. You haven’t tried to do anything except try and put yourself over as some sort of living martyr – and failed.

What rigorous work have you done in your days?

Umpired football.

I’ve basically busted my wrist trying to chop out a tree root with an ax, among other strenuous tasks I’ve worked at to make a few dollars.

If you can’t open a door, you can’t use an axe. So you lied again.

If my low self-esteem ruined my life, then where did I get such a low self-esteem from in the first place? And why did I even bother trying out so many goals with hope of achievement, if my low self-esteem was the cause rather than the effect of my problems?

That’s how I know you’re a liar. Your low self esteem came from your parents who were trying to get you out of your lazy stupor and you refused to do it. Even when I told you to get out of the house, you refused to do it. No goals – except to con us into thinking we should support you.

I’m not the only autistic speaking out against this nonsense. I wish there was a way to shame you for promoting this backward mind-control.

I will always beat a con artist. I exposed your lies a long time ago.

And the more that those in the community can realize what the science shows of the condition, and of its high variability in symptoms, the less they subscribe to these strict, anti-treatment views, with their outrageous fantasies and defeatist approach to this whole ordeal.

That demonstrates a lack of understanding of what ASAN, and all the other Autistic activists like me stand for. We don’t oppose treatment. We don’t oppose support. Treatment and support results in functioning levels like ours. Fact.

Disability is not diversity. Impairments just hurt, and are not neutral, identity composing differences.

Neurodiversity is not an impairment. The impairment lies within societal attitude. And Cresp is not a part of the solution. He’s part of the problem.

All I did on Manuel’s blog was post this;
Note that the comment from Billy Cresp above is a typical pack of lies consistent with his modus operande that he has been applying for years. It really ought to be deleted. Thanks.

If it does get approved I’m sure Cresp will post a rant – which will be the next entry if he does.

This time, after missing out last time after Matt Hogan got to him first – I’m going to take little Lurker to pieces. He posted after me on the Manuel Casanova entry and lied through his back teeth as usual!

I didn’t get any advantages from my position on the autism spectrum. My particular disabilities have wrecked my life in gruesome ways, despite my ambition, goals, or efforts. The diversity hucksters expect me to be happy for others unearned potential/success as they celebrate, while I go through onerous experiences daily, due to the consequences of my ineptitude.

We already know he isn’t Autistic. His disabilities don’t exist. He made them up to explain away the proven fact that he’s nothing more than lazy. That’s the ineptitude. Laziness. He needs to snap out of it.

I am convinced this anti-cure “diversity” crowd is a lot more malicious and deceitful than it may seem when considering they can’t get others’ points of view. I have watched them for many years. They are basically against compassion and push manipulative gestures of love and saccharine platitudes, while seldom caring for those who they “advocate” for. The advocates still are predominantly very-high functioning and don’t want to share their aptitudes with others. I’m glad other autistics are speaking out against their ideas.

Bunk! We are always sharing our aptitudes! I tried to share mine with you, Cresp, and you didn’t want to know about it! That was the first sign that you were a lazy twit! We care more about the Autistics that can’t speak and so on than you ever could!

I think this “movement” came from a messy combination of the whole “self-esteem movement” and society’s misguided love and trust of those with high intellectual prowess. They attempt to replace the endangered self-esteems of those who lack adequacy and who have weakness, with exaggerated ideas of uniqueness and with a repudiation of standards of performance in general. They also try to extend this emotional approach of the problem to the parents of these disadvantaged individuals. But at the same time, they cite examples of the privileged, super-high functioning genius autistics, to strongly imply that any autistic could have high-abilities like they do, like they have redeemable strengths to compensate for weaknesses. These characters, who engage in psychological warfare, seem to get a very benevolent and trusting forum cause they’re so smart and successful, and are thought to have great character due to those qualities.

Oh he changed again! Now he’s valuing self esteem when previously he didn’t! But does he do anything about that? No! Society doesn’t love us, Cresp! They hate us! They always hate those who they don’t understand! So what do we do? We fight back! What do you do? Sink into your hole where your laziness is preserved. The reality is if we get to them early enough – children at the lower end of the Spectrum can be brought up to the higher end. It’s a much better option that wallowing in the low range pleading for a full blown route off the Spectrum altogether – which is cast iron impossible!

I’ve notified Manuel on Twitter that he needs to get Cresp out of there. Best posted just above him and I’ve nailed him as well.

“BILLY CRESP” as LURKER wrote;
I bet some of you have seen this recent article at Wired.com where Ari Ne’eman is interviewed by Steve Silberman about his recent appointment to the National Council on Disability:

Exclusive: First Autistic Presidential Appointee Speaks Out
http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/10/exclusive-ari-neeman-qa/all/1

Considering the biased nature of some of the questions, not a lot of compelling answers resulted that differed from what has already been said by those on his side. I would have liked if he was asked about past achievements in advocacy of his that would justify his recent appointment, and if there were some follow up questions put to him based upon his answers. But what lack of bias can be expected of Wired, which is heavily generated by and viewed by super smart people in tech professions.

“Instead of focusing on things like quality of life and civil rights, the autism community has been distracted by narrow questions of causation and cure.” Here we go again, as if quality of life has nothing to do with cure, particularly the mental capacity that often is lacking without a cure which lowers quality of life. And who is he to call such questions narrow? He can’t resist continuing to blame the lack of help for autistics on the efforts toward cure.

“Groups like Autism Speaks have taken tremendous amounts of money out of local communities, but haven’t included the people they claim to be serving in their decision-making structure.” What a lie ignoring the appointment of John Elder Robison to their scientific advisory board. These tactics are getting pathetic and cowardly now.

Then he deploys some cheap political tactic: “Very few of us wake up in the morning and think, “Have they developed a proper mouse model for autism yet?” Instead, autistic people and their parents worry about finding the educational and support services that they need.” Trying to get others to see only short-term immediate possibilities and affairs and ignore underlying concepts and further-reaching goals, to get them to focus on scrambling for the few crumbs that are available to pacify them, is what I see here. Regardless of the likely limitations of results of mouse models, it is stunning to see this said by someone who arose from the aspie elite, the same bunch that has spent years gleefully discussing at times how neurological research could explain some of the neurological “gifts” (I call them unfair privileges or monopolies) held by well-off aspies and high-functioning autistics. I’ve sensed this attitude of the cure underminers for a while, that of leaving the complicated and deeper matters to the successful ones on the spectrum while insisting that the unfortunate focus on the immediate choices and options available to them and on petty, sappy, insignificant aspects of dealing with society.

Then when asked a question about how the technologically skilled, who make up much of the readers of Wired, could help autistics, I couldn’t expect anything phonier from Ne’eman than what he came up with:
“If we put one-tenth of the money currently spent on looking for causes and cures into developing technologies that enable autistic people with speech challenges to communicate more easily — so-called augmentative and alternative communication [AAC] — we’d have a vast improvement in the quality of life for autistic people and their family members.”
First of all, speech isn’t simply the only thing that’s involved in communicative deficiencies, but language capacity often also. Externally constructed devices can’t interpret thoughts of a mind and translate them into language for a device to display as output. What could a machine do to interpret impaired language usage of someone into understandable statements, that an ordinary observing person couldn’t? I think such wacky ideas for inventions would go way over the 10% of the money currently budgeted to causes and cures, and with very fruitless results. Just what we need, another racket that likely could end up as the facilitated communication hoax/scam did. I wonder if it’s too much to ask for these intellectually privileged technology experts to devise products that would cure, and thereby increase the mental functioning of others who started out with so much less aptitude.

Then he continues on the possibilities of technology:
“Finally, there should be websites or apps that enable disabled people to rate their service providers and record their experiences, like the websites that already exist for college students to rate their professors.” That would be a great idea. The entities that are supposed to provide these services contain a lot of the problems with service implementation for autistics, and making them accountable would help a lot. I think this would be a great idea for anyone who has had to deal with an inefficient, weakly operated government bureaucracy.

“We’ve barely begun to tap the potential of handheld networked devices to assist with the kinds of deficits in executive functioning and life skills that many of us on the spectrum face. Mobile devices and apps could be very helpful in improving prospects for employment and education”
Falling for this exaggeration seems to me to come from being mesmerized by the power of technologies, while consequently losing sight of the skills necessary to come up with a beneficial task for the technology and consequently to understand the tasks being carried out by the technology, and the skills necessary to mentally understand the results. I think such devices could only have minor benefits for some routine tasks, but technologies, which themselves are products of intellectual tasks, don’t transfer functional capacity to the minds of those who use them.

Then when his high-functioning status is mentioned, he comes up with an interestingly deceptive response:
“I recognize that I’m fortunate in many respects and am able to do things that some other autistic people can’t do. But I would also point out that these things didn’t — and don’t now — come easily to me. I’ve been fortunate to be able to count on the inclusive culture of the broader disability-rights movement to help support me.”
There’s no way to convince many sane individuals of the claim that those with such high aptitude get their success through lots of hard work. Such amounts of success and accomplishment repeatedly, do not come through sheer effort and determination. It’s well known that aptitude associated accomplishments are not only made easier but also possible by having strong mental functioning. Inclusive culture or whatever doesn’t have squat to do with it.

Then he goes on with a bunch of irrelevant and abstract identity politics tied to autism as usual to distract from the reality of the problems at hand. I’m appalled at his solely positive description of Autreat, where he basically describes it as if it’s empowering, while neglecting to mention the exclusionary and undemocratic nature of it, which would make his praises of it untrue for some on the spectrum.

It seems that he and the other anti-cure, empty solution pushers, who are getting so much of the media attention on the politics of autism, aren’t very worried about explaining why they should advocate against certain things despite opposing views. Not only is there dismissing of the rejections of their views, but outright ignoring of why others don’t agree based on deeper and fundamental concepts. I guess the people in charge of some of the large entities that Ne’eman and others like him are involved with, aren’t that concerned about being held accountable based on their performance, and get those like Ne’eman involved to keep up the image of a farce that would be a way of explaining the shitty results that are often intended for by those in charge. I hope that the media coverage starting to be gained by Jonathan Mitchell and others on the side of reason and progress continues to grow. I think it’s the only realistic chance to counter the tide of backward ideas.

Here goes Cresp again – completely missing the whole point of Ari Ne’eman’s pitch, and trying to misrepresent it. When Cresp has no idea what he is talking about. I mean get a load of these gems;

Here we go again, as if quality of life has nothing to do with cure, particularly the mental capacity that often is lacking without a cure which lowers quality of life. And who is he to call such questions narrow? He can’t resist continuing to blame the lack of help for autistics on the efforts toward cure.

Quality of life does have nothing to do with cure. Mental capacity can be adjusted to, and Cresp won’t because he’s too lazy to – notwithstanding that he has no right to speak for anyone because he is not on the Spectrum. Ari’s last sentence is spot on. The effort to find a cure is getting in the way.

What a lie ignoring the appointment of John Elder Robison to their scientific advisory board. These tactics are getting pathetic and cowardly now.

The scientific advisory board makes NO decisions on the operations of Autism Speaks, idiot!

Trying to get others to see only short-term immediate possibilities and affairs and ignore underlying concepts and further-reaching goals, to get them to focus on scrambling for the few crumbs that are available to pacify them, is what I see here.

Pure ignorance, because Cresp has hit on what’s being done at present and he talks like that’s Ari’s aim – when in fact Ari opposes it because he knows that leads to mistakes in the long term. Cresp wants to think short term because again – he’s lazy.

Regardless of the likely limitations of results of mouse models, it is stunning to see this said by someone who arose from the aspie elite, the same bunch that has spent years gleefully discussing at times how neurological research could explain some of the neurological “gifts” (I call them unfair privileges or monopolies) held by well-off aspies and high-functioning autistics.

We all have the gifts, idiot! You don’t, because you aren’t on the Spectrum. Sensory overloads inhibit those gifts, as does morons like you in society!

I’ve sensed this attitude of the cure underminers for a while, that of leaving the complicated and deeper matters to the successful ones on the spectrum while insisting that the unfortunate focus on the immediate choices and options available to them and on petty, sappy, insignificant aspects of dealing with society.

Dealing with society is a bloody significant aspect you moron! You’re the one avoiding complicated and deeper matters because it will expose you for the con artist that you are!

First of all, speech isn’t simply the only thing that’s involved in communicative deficiencies, but language capacity often also. Externally constructed devices can’t interpret thoughts of a mind and translate them into language for a device to display as output. What could a machine do to interpret impaired language usage of someone into understandable statements, that an ordinary observing person couldn’t? I think such wacky ideas for inventions would go way over the 10% of the money currently budgeted to causes and cures, and with very fruitless results.

ROTFLMAO! Cresp, it doesn’t take a machine to do that! He assumes that Ari is saying that something like a TTY or something would solve heaps of problems and he wasn’t saying that at all! It’s not fruitless – and technologies like the ones Ari was talking about go beyond machine technology! How about psychological technology, huh? PEOPLE!

Falling for this exaggeration seems to me to come from being mesmerized by the power of technologies, while consequently losing sight of the skills necessary to come up with a beneficial task for the technology and consequently to understand the tasks being carried out by the technology, and the skills necessary to mentally understand the results. I think such devices could only have minor benefits for some routine tasks, but technologies, which themselves are products of intellectual tasks, don’t transfer functional capacity to the minds of those who use them.

So destroy all chance of communication, right? You are a narrow minded little turd, Cresp!

There’s no way to convince many sane individuals of the claim that those with such high aptitude get their success through lots of hard work. Such amounts of success and accomplishment repeatedly, do not come through sheer effort and determination. It’s well known that aptitude associated accomplishments are not only made easier but also possible by having strong mental functioning. Inclusive culture or whatever doesn’t have squat to do with it.

This coming from a boy who lives in an abusive environment by his own admission. And lazy as well. You bet results come from effort and determination! He just doesn’t want to do it! And an inclusive culture is ESSENTIAL!!

I’m appalled at his solely positive description of Autreat, where he basically describes it as if it’s empowering, while neglecting to mention the exclusionary and undemocratic nature of it, which would make his praises of it untrue for some on the spectrum.

Seems from this that Cresp supports Shelley/Droopy – which says plenty because I know the reason why she is banned from Autreat. Because she’s a violent little butterball who hurts people. Autreat IS enpowering, as it should be.

It seems that he and the other anti-cure, empty solution pushers, who are getting so much of the media attention on the politics of autism, aren’t very worried about explaining why they should advocate against certain things despite opposing views. Not only is there dismissing of the rejections of their views, but outright ignoring of why others don’t agree based on deeper and fundamental concepts.

There are solutions, and Cresp doesn’t want to see them because HE is the one who isn’t into deeper and fundamental concepts as I have already explained. The curebies deserve to be ignored – because they are hurting people, including their own family members.

I guess the people in charge of some of the large entities that Ne’eman and others like him are involved with, aren’t that concerned about being held accountable based on their performance, and get those like Ne’eman involved to keep up the image of a farce that would be a way of explaining the shitty results that are often intended for by those in charge.

I would expect this from someone who wilfully ignores what’s in front of his face as a part of his act.

I hope that the media coverage starting to be gained by Jonathan Mitchell and others on the side of reason and progress continues to grow. I think it’s the only realistic chance to counter the tide of backward ideas.

Mitchell’s LA Magazine article will be getting a counter hopefully. I am determined to undermine these threats. The silencing of Best will be a key to it. So will finally getting the enquiry into issues of Autistics off the ground as well. The backward ideas are the ones that Cresp and Mitchell are promoting – that is a fact, scientifically proven. Mitchell is also lazy, but he at least is on the Spectrum. The sooner Cresp is totally disowned by the Autistic community the better.

Cresp has threatened me with a lawsuit for my calling him lazy and for calling him a liar and a con artist. I can prove every single word, and onus will be on him to prove (under US Defamation law) that I have made these statements knowing in my heart that they are not true and the intent of them is simply to harm him maliciously. I state (and will repeat this under oath) that I firmly believe with all my heart that Billy Cresp AKA Lurker is a liar, a con artist and just plain lazy.

Well Phil, when you can pay enough of your bills through umpiring, you can be considered to be doing enough work.

That’s impossible. It doesn’t pay enough. Besides, it’s seen as a hobby by the Taxation Department as well as other government authorities.

How are you medically unable to leave Australia?

Canby answered this correctly.

I have clarified a lot of what I have said regarding myself, but you won’t respond to that, so you’re left with hardly anything to diminish my credibility.

All you’ve done is prove me right. You have not at any stage proven yourself – at all.

Saying lazy over and over isn’t going to make it easier, except when trying to persuade those who are convinced by repetition of a claim.

Stating the truth is the easiest action of the lot. Not much persuasion is required on others once the evidence is in front of them.

My work history is due to my incompetence and unemployability. You don’t have any evidence to prove I’m lazy, and I think you get off angering me by saying I’m lazy.

There you go! In that first sentence you ADMITTED to being lazy!

I wouldn’t tell you where I was getting services. How gullible do you think I am considering I know your reputation for causing trouble for others?

I only cause trouble for those who cause trouble for me personally. You haven’t crossed that line. You are a coward who refuses to provide the evidence needed, for one reason only. It doesn’t exist.

I won’t have you trying to contact entities that I’ve gone to which have me on record. If you think I haven’t been to places for services, why did you acknowledge that I received a diagnosis by a therapist picked by the government, even though you disagreed with the diagnosis?

Because that’s easy to get, and the ease is partly why I question it.

I’m not risking whatever you want to attempt to ruin for me, just to prove to you my circumstances.

Until you stop being lazy and take the risk, I have every reason not to believe you.

Oliver, I appreciate your encouragement about pursuing litigation. I would have to consider it. I don’t know how Phil would pay anything to me. I also think his other victims, would be highly deserving of restitution compared to me. I would want them to receive money first.

The one receiving restitution would be me – because I can have your case struck out as frivolous and vexatious. So bring it on, Cresp! You don’t have a leg to stand on because verifiable belief under US Defamation law is a defence. And I can verify my belief easily – and I can also show that you refused to provide evidence (per the above quotes) which will also go against you.

And for Canby’s benefit, Andrew did not prank call the Canby residence. His call was justified and there was no rejection of the call by your mother. Therefore by Canby’s own definition, it was not a prank call. My umpiring was at the mid level at best, and do NOT call junior football “kiddie” football. It’s disrespectful to the youngsters who play the game up to Under 17 (which was the highest level of the first league I umpired in). I’ve umpired six grand finals and two of them were Under 18 and three were Under 14. None of which is “kiddie football”. I’ve umpired open age.

I still recognize you as a coward who won’t comment directly to me any longer, and who won’t let me rebut you where you complain about me. I don’t try to live in an imaginary setting. So stop bitching about negativity. Prove cure is impossible. Difficult isn’t impossible, and research is capable of accomplishing many amazing feats, when the right efforts are put into it. You haven’t named one way for LFAs to improve, so shut up about it unless you have something to say. 

I’m kinda surprised with your view on Aspergers diagnosis. I’m not sure if all of the Aspergers diagnoses I hear of are that valid either. I’ve been debating with myself whether I had it through comparing myself to cases of individuals diagnosed with it. When I do such comparison, I have many doubts. But when I look at descriptions and checklists of Aspergers, I seem relatively convinced. I was diagnosed by someone picked by the government agency I went to. I don’t know if he asked me enough questions, but he did talk to my mother for a while. I wonder what condition I could have if I’m really not on the spectrum, and I don’t think many professionals would have the motivation to really investigate. But that desperation is not why I’m recently disclosing that I think I’m on the spectrum. I’m disclosing it because I’ve been diagnosed. I even asked if it was an official one and was told yes.

I’ve doubted I have Aspergers for the reasons you mention and others. I seldom have been a decent student and my grades often were random, and I even mess up at many basic tasks, so I don’t see myself as being much like the cases I hear of. I don’t know why my reading comprehension is so low. I wonder if I have some comorbid learning problem that affects some on the spectrum. My IQ is only 107. But my performance IQ is 91 and my verbal IQ is 119, and I heard that a lower performance IQ than verbal IQ is associated with Aspergers. My memory isn’t that great, but when I go to look things back up again, I recognize them a lot. Sometimes I don’t recall well. I had some tests that showed that my mechanical and spatial skills were like in the 30th percentile. I have motor clumsiness also. I have a lot of attention and concentration problems.

The professionals I went to noticed my flat affect, lack of body language, and monotone speech. I think I’m like that a lot of the time, but I’m not sure if I would lack that much expressiveness if I was really actively interacting with others and was open with them in a way I can’t handle with my awful circumstances. However, I definitely know I’m weak at understanding body language, especially gestures, and think I am especially weak at reading emotions through someone’s eyes compared to reading them through their faces, even though I make eye contact. I often have trouble understanding what others say or realizing they’re talking to me, so I think my perception is impaired. 

I usually understand and use figurative language, yet sometimes I still get a literal thought or picture in my head of the phrase involved at the same time. I have a lot of sensory issues. There are some sounds that irritate me a lot and some that I like especially that excite me. Sometimes I’m picky with certain aspects of things I eat. I have some compulsive repetitive behaviors sometimes, and I think I have self-stimulatory ones too. I sometimes rotate my hands back and forth and flap my fingers, I rock back forth in chairs and while sitting in bed. When I was a child, I used to spin my finger around in a circle trying to do that as fast as I could, and I made some weird noises. I heard that when I was like 3 or 4, I used to repeat things other children said to me. I sometimes have had obsessive preoccupations with things and even repetitive thoughts. 

Where are you getting these specific impressions of her from? Unless you have any proof of such accusations, say nothing else about it to me. “Prisoner of routine”? You don’t seem to have much of a high opinion of many on the spectrum. What is it that you really endeavor to preserve? They shouldn’t have a policy of excluding talk of cure from the agenda. That’s not a way to let all express their ideas.

Cresp can’t handle it that he can’t control the conversation, so he tries to bait me by calling me a coward. Not going to work, Cresp. You are a coward because you can’t handle the fact that I just expressed. He’s free to rebut me on his blog and continue to make a fool of himself and wreck his blog in the process. Up to him. No skin off my nose. Especially as he continues to live in his imaginary setting to cover for his laziness. I’m happy to play tag until he comes to his senses and realise he’s in a losing battle.

Cure is impossible. I don’t need to prove otherwise, because there’s no proof otherwise. No one has been cured – and never will be cured because the condition is genetic and as much a part of the human race’s diversity as any other genetic aspect you care to name. Attempting to cure a genetic condition is an attack on the human body in all it’s glory, and it has never worked and never will work.

LFA’s can improve by prevention of sensory overload. The trick is to find what the sensory overload is. That’s the hard part, but that’s where the effort should be concentrated.

Cresp also exposed himself when he questioned his own DX consistent with my last post. There you go! A flat out refusal to accept that you are nothing more than lazy, but your conscience is pushing you away from everything else you try to link to. One point – people hand picked by a government agency are not reliable. I should know. In 1990 I faced one and he stuffed it up something chronic. I found out through my current psych that he was nothing more than a bloody sex therapist!! No clue about the DSM-III (as it was current at the time). I would say – knowing that joke of a health system over there – that you’ve been diagnosed by a quack.

IQ for an Asperger’s DX has to be well above average. Cresp falls just below that line (I think it’s 110). Not that IQ is a true indication of actual intelligence because intelligence is only as good as how it’s used. Look at Best – he’s smart, but he behaves like an idiot because of his obsessions.

I won’t go into detail on Cresp’s follow up on his views on whether or not he’s Aspergers. It’s very much a case of burying facts with detail – a common trick by a con artist.

Droopy is violent. She shakes street signs and enjoys it (and shakes them like a cyclone – hurricane to you – would). There was a video of it that I saw once. She is verbally violent as well and claims to have a black belt (which is BS because no one on the Spectrum could have the balance to achieve that, even on the high end of the Spectrum – which Droopy is not), and issues threats of physical violence. Basically she is passing on the pain she suffered in an institution to others, and that is not on.

People who advocate cure do not understand what they are dealing with. They should stop talking and start listening to those who know. Autreat represents this. And the whole idea is to preserve human life. Prevent things like the murder of Katie McCarron and Trudi Walker. Prevent things like child abuse through places like the JRC. Prevent parents taking their eyes off their clever Autistic child who’ll pick a lock just to run and find the wide open spaces they want. This is the sort of thing that the curebies can not prevent. If they got their way (hunting for a cure being a top priority) incidents like what I have mentioned will increase. Is that what you want? Do you support deaths of Autistics and/or their carers? Or do you support them getting supports and understanding NOW?

Cure should never be discussed because it gets in the way of understanding. You are getting in the way of understanding, Cresp. It’s why you are an Aspie Enemy.

UPDATE – The original post was deleted to try and short circuit my actions. And it didn’t work because I was in a no lose situation. Either way I was going to have an effect on his blog.

Phil again doesn’t want to comment to me directly, but wants to just ridicule me on his response blog against me, along with his sissy kiss-up friends who make prissy and pointless remarks. He is too challenged by my rebuttals to his responses to let me comment on there. So I’ll put what I have to say back here:

Autreat isn’t going to promote understanding of the spectrum to those on the outside who ought to know many things of it. Who is getting informed as a result of it? You have no intention of helping those on the lower end of the spectrum as your ideas of solutions are phony delusions that contain no goal-oriented action. Autreat is run by a cabal that wants to stop efforts toward cure, and so has no regard to the progress of the lower functioning, as without a cure based on biological modification/enhancement, functioning can’t go up much. 

I don’t want to be helped? I get tired of being at home nearly 24/7 with minimal income and having to sponge off my parents with nothing much to do with myself. You know that but your idea of help can’t be anything that leads to real improved conditions. I guess you’re right in that few understand the spectrum. The professionals I’ve encountered seemed to not really grasp just how much disability there is for many to deal with, didn’t seem to grasp the pattern involved with it, and only seemed to be considering a few basic concepts involved with the spectrum.

In my situation, I think there are funding problems going on and my vocational counselor seemed to me not to want to tell me how awful the situation is with it and how long I may have to wait. But I think I’ve seen a lot of wasteful tendencies going on with rigid planning and repetitive, uninformative things being told to me. Stuff I already know and the such. I don’t think it’s fear that is preventing services. I’m starting to get the idea that many don’t care, that those in control need to be urged to put forth efforts and resources.

As someone who is not a doctor, your opinion is of less validity than that of the licensed professional who diagnosed me and that of the other one who said in his opinion I was. I didn’t go doctor shopping or put on some act to get recognition. What do you have to back up your assertions, and why do you resort to claiming I’m not on the spectrum? I’ve been wondering since 2002 about whether I was on the spectrum or not. 

Who are you and the others to decide what attitude is too volatile? She hasn’t demonstrated anywhere near the level of hostility that is characteristic of those favored by Autreat. Why should someone with her life experience be deprived of a platform by those who want to show no common courtesy?

I wonder what scheming characters were picked for that panel, and what kind of answers they had to the questions designed by those in control of the conference, to put on their show, and whether they made genuine and informative answers to some in attendance who may have been in dire circumstances and looking for practical answers. What could be expected of the types of individuals who control the agenda, considering what they do the rest of the time?

Oh really? What do you suppose my posts on here are, idiot? Lazy fool. These are responses and here’s another one……

First off, Cresp first has to get off this negativity line if he is even going to go close to understanding what Autreat really is. He guesses that simply because it appears exclusive it won’t help. BULL! Every little bit of brainstorming helps out in the bigger picture. All Cresp wants to do is push that aside because it’s not part of HIS picture – which means zero. Cure is impossible, so to stop efforts for it is the right thing to do. Improvement is the way to go – and that includes LFA’s who CAN improve loads provided that help starts early enough! So don’t tell me I don’t want to help, idiot!

I’ll ignore that sentence about help, because Cresp is a con artist and that entire paragraph is a lie from go to woe. So is the paragraph after it.

I do know this though – many doctors since 1994 have treated Asperger’s in particular with a lot of latitude. Almost like a symbol, when in reality the person isn’t Asperger’s at all. In the UK for instance Aspergers became something of a shopping item – something for parents to have their child DXed with so they could excuse themselves from bad parenting. It was lazy DXing. Cresp has described a number of factors that have nothing to do with Aspergers (notwithstanding that I don’t believe it anyway). Not being able to read properly isn’t Aspergers for a start. Having trouble with opening doors is also not Aspergers. That’s off the top of my head. One doesn’t need to be a doctor to see that one! This DX that Cresp claims comes from one of those society quacks without a doubt. Besides, if he really was an Aspie he would have been picked up well before now!

As for Droopy – you’ve no idea how volatile she’s been!! She’s bloody violent when she doesn’t get her own way FYI! And being a prisoner of routine like she is as an Autistic who is not high functioning, that is not going to change. All she wants out of Autreat is a place to tell people that AB and Stephanie Keil (and whoever else she lies about) are fakes, and if people won’t listen she’ll get violent. That’s how she is, Cresp. Don’t talk about something you know nothing about.

You want people to talk about a cure. Not happening, and as far as your concerned that makes Autreat rubbish. Incorrect. It makes you a baleful little con artist who needs his arms tied behind his back so he can’t type such nonsense anymore.

And this of course will probably be the start of more blog tag like I had with The Informer back in February. Fine with me, Cresp. Make a fool of yourself and see if I care – because it’s just what I want you to do. It will end up wrecking your blog and distracting you, and who’s fault is that in the finish?

Yours. Because you refuse to listen to someone who really knows.

I haven’t posted in a while as I’ve seen less significant activity at the blogs of the anti-cure enemies. But a lot has been on my mind as I’ve been away long, and much of it angers and nearly enrages me. So I’ve been compelled to talk of what I see to be going on, now that the phony advocates have brought themselves onto broader and influential forums. I bet many of you have heard of this new book that has come out by some “educational consultant”, Thomas Armstrong PhD, called: Neurodiversity: Discovering the Extraordinary Gifts of Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Other Brain Differences. From looking at the list of the other books this charlatan has published, he’s obviously one of those phonies who promotes a lot of corny nonsense regarding education and intelligence. The usual hogwash bolstered with a lot of creative trickery, to try to convince others that anyone can succeed, that intelligence doesn’t matter, that there are “multiple intelligences”, and which even rolls together intelligence with totally unrelated concepts in a meaningless way. There’s nothing in his credentials and accomplishments to back up the huge list of his claims. 

With the kind of books this guy writes, I bet he preys on weak-willed desperate parents who have reason to worry for their childrens’ chances at success, in which delusions typical to what he writes go along with their demoralization. Now this phony, not having made enough money from the saps who read his other books, is going to try to make another chunk of money by getting involved in the burgeoning farce of misinformation and bizarre outlooks about the autism spectrum. Just when you thought there weren’t enough ways to line one’s pockets off of this problem. 

From reading the kinds of stuff this guy says, I am disgusted at his daft ideas which sadly are becoming prevalently used to damage and confuse further the progression of the issues within society he talks of. This vermin, as many others are, is obsessed with the concept of “diversity” in a seemingly abstract way, in which its context in society has no necessary meaning. This scumbag’s assertions are like a perversity of diversity. 

I wish enough others out there would realize that this career phony has no genuine concern for youth or for their growth. His psychobabble supports the mentality of those in his racket to mold anyone and everyone into an amorphous, meaningless, yet verbosely described, slab of mud, containing no sensual qualities, and open to arbitrary interpretation. This guy has no shame for his disregard for the true misery and horrific conditions endured by autistics who hardly are even seen in the public light. I guess he has no worry of being confronted by those who he shits on. I’d like to see this useless freak get a real job for a living. The dirtbags who get off on this kind of happy-talk to accompany ignorance of misfortune need to be told to shove it. 

But this is the type of jerk who seizes the opportunity when observing troublesome ambiguities in societal issues, to aggrandize himself by grabbing attention by shouting sweeping statements and making up explanations that are simple, non-challenging, and encompassing of any and all things, all with no actual proof. I have minimal faith that the many out there who have only selfish intentions, will resist to use the power and regressive nature of this putrid bullshit to support their own positions when circumstances allow.

The con artistry continues. Cresp now starts dissing Thomas Armstrong. Mitchell has already commented on the book Cresp is attacking and after now two known enemies of the truth have done this – I will state right here and now without even reading it, get the book if you really want to understand the Autistic Spectrum.

Cresp is jumping on the bandwagon again as an excuse to show the hate he has down pat as part of his pathetic act. This is all a ploy to try and discredit methods that do work, and play the victim of what doesn’t work for him. I’ve said it from the start – his issue is laziness. He’s so determined to wreck the Autistic community out of petty spite, and that makes him the real vermin here.

Go back under the rock you were under, Cresp. You know NOTHING!
