We need another part to the series:
How about such organizations as the Judge Rotenberg Center? What they engage in isn't even an experiment; It is called "treatment" for a neurological difference that is assumed to be a "disease" despite the fact that numerous "theories" (hypotheses) have been proposed that have lead no place except to 1930s-Germany-style state terrorism instead of a real attempt to figure out why a growing proportion of the population aren't able to function in evolving (devolving?) social systems. How about a a part two regarding the evils of the delusional quackery called "psychiatry" where sentience is denied whenever politically convenient (not for the patient), concentration camps are called "hospitals," and torture is called "treatment?"

Dr Pogrom shows yet more contempt for justice and empathy; gets a slap on the wrist
(old news by now, thought I'd post anyways)
If an autistic like me defied a court and destroyed evidence (or headed an organization that did) they wouldn't have to send me to Uzbekistan for extraordinary rendition, would they?

(and elsewhere)
He also gets five years probation. I hope he at least sung like a songbird / squealed like a pig in order to get such a light sentence in an age of "zero tolerance."
Matthew Israel (and undoubtedly most of the concentration camp's staff) should have been terminated alright -- using his favorite form of punishment, of course -- electricity.

The strange case of how this blog came to be
I did things I don't usually do -- jump to conclusions. The original URL was http://jonathanmitchellisanasshole.blogspot.com/. I misjudged http://autismgadfly.blogspot.com/ and possibly http://the-newrepublic.blogspot.com/.
Then perhaps a day later I changed the URL to http://ageofstockholmsyndrome.blogspot.com/ when I found out Jonathan "Gadfly" Mitchell is a self-hating autistic before finally settling on the current URL. He blames his nature, not marginalization.
I'm still trying to figure out the other "New Republic." At first I thought it was hate directed at autistics. Then I starting thinking it was probably about the leadership of the movement not being exactly what it seems, or at least a claim to that effect.
My best guess at this point is that "Socrates" as he calls himself views the leadership of the neurodiversity movement as too extreme and intolerant.
