Autism and Sexual Fetishism – A Match Made in Hell

Introduction

One of the lesser considered examples of vaccine damage inherent to autism is the connection between autism and sexual fetishism and paraphilias. This article will take a comparatively broad definition of the terms fetish and paraphilia, as sometimes these terms are defined as meaning the person with the fetish is only capable of experiencing sexuual arousal and orgasm via imagining or partaking in the fetish. This article will not be as strict by including cases where arousal etc are enhanced by the practise of the fetish.

A fetish, strictly speaking, is arousal from either a part of the body that is non-sexual (e.g. foot fetishes) or by an object (e.g. leather fetishes). Paraphilia is a broader term that includes arousal via other forms of sexual deviance, such as arousal via a class of persons (e.g. hybristophilia, attraction to criminals, usually notorious killers). This article will look at the evidence for a connection between autism and deviant sexuality.

Autism and Transgenderism

The connection between autism and transgenderism has been extensively discussed, and it is agreed by most analysts that there is a connection between these two factors.

However, one context that has been neglected is the connection between autism and transgenderism specifically as fetish. This section only considers those who adopt this transgender identity as a teenager or adult and does not include young children who were ‘transed’ by their parents at a young age due to motives such as Munchausens by Proxy or not wanting a gay son. Those children were led by parents and were too young to have a sexual motive.

Firstly, I will start with the evidence that transgender ‘identity’ is in fact a sexual paraphilia. Transgenderism as a concept began in the 1920s and 1930s with the case of Lili Elbe, but became developed as a concept in the 1950s and 1960s by sexologists such as John Money.

In the 1980s, Ray Blanchard coined the term autogynephilia, meaning men attracted to the idea of themselves as women. Blanchard defined four types of sexual arousal associated with autogynephilia: arousal from cross dressing, from ‘acting feminine’, from bodily functions (such as period fetishes), and having parts of a female body. Blanchard said that there were two types of men who identify as women, the homosexual transsexuals who are effeminate gay men and the autogynephiles.

Personally, I am not so convinced that there is no element of fetish with the homosexual male cohort as well. I think the paraphilic element for them is being so attractive and so feminine that they are able to attract ‘straight’ men, and they fetishise straight men as a group.

What about the women who identify as men? I think some observers have incorrectly dismissed sexual fetish among this group. I think the female impersonators are a bit more complex because there are some cases where it seems to be a trauma response similar to an eating disorder (some of the young females identifying as transgender today may well have reacted to trauma via eating disorders 20 years ago).

However, there is a large amount of fetish involved with the female transgender group. People in this group have often read a large amount of ‘slash’ or ‘yaoi’ fiction. This is fiction about gay men and gay male sex/relationships (usually) written by women. Many heterosexual women are interested in this type of fiction, and some take this interest to an extreme and start identifying with real gay men and seeking sexual encounters with gay men. They fetishise gay men. Also some of these women seem to have a sexual fixation on standing to urinate, which is associated with manhood.

From this evidence I would conclude that the majority of the time, transgenderism in men and women has a fetish motivation.

What about autism? Evidence that autism is linked to transgender identity is significant. The connection is even reported in outlets that promote autism and transgenderism. For example, this from the University of Cambridge:

Transgender and gender-diverse adults are three to six times more likely as cisgender adults (individuals whose gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth) to be diagnosed as autistic, according to a new study by scientists at the University of Cambridge’s Autism Research Centre. This research, conducted using data from over 600,000 adult individuals, confirms previous smaller scale studies from clinics.

The UK’s child ‘gender identity’ clinic showed even higher rates of autism.

An internal review discovered 372 of these patients – some 35 per cent – exhibited ‘moderate or severe autistic traits.’

It follows that sexual motivation is a likely motivation for pursuing transgenderism in autism.

Autism and CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material)

Even darker and more deviant, there is a connection between autism and viewing and collecting child abuse imagery.

In this case, because it is a criminal offence, there is no real statistical analysis that can be done. Before someone strawmans this argument, I am not saying all or even most autistics look at CSAM. I am suggesting it is likely that the proportion of autistic males who view CSAM may be higher than the proportion of ordinary males who look at CSAM.

However, what can be said is the following: there have been multiple convictions for viewing this material among autistic males. There are also admissions in recorded literature when autistic males were asked about viewing this content. One study called “Sexuality in Autism, Hypersexuality and Paraphilic Behavior in Women and Men with High Functioning ASD” found admission to paraphilias including paedophilia fetishes was more common among autistic males.

Furthermore, there is an article in a law journal called “The Asperger’s Defence In Digital Child Pornography Investigations”. This discusses its use as a legal defence. In itself, the fact that this article exists shows that this is a live issue in law, as there is no point writing an article about an irrelevant legal defence.

Why the connection?

After exploring the evidence we could ask why this connection exists. Here are some plausible explanations:

Autism is inherently connected to obsessive behaviour, and fetish involves an obsessive fixation on the non sexual as sexual.

Autism is inherently connected to social incompetence. High social incompetence leads to inability to form relationships which means sexual outlets via conventional relationships are unavailable. As such, there may be an increased reliance on pornography. Pornography is filled with extreme sexual degeneracy and is a problem in general society but is likely to be even more prominent among autistics. Pornography encourages masturbation and orgasm over fetishes, which then increases the presence of these fetishes in the population.

Social incompetence may also promote perceiving people as objects, which leads to sexual fetishism and paraphilia.

The emotional impairment in autism leads to autistics having a lower emotional maturity than is normal. This can lead to wanting children with the same emotional age as them to demonstrate sexual activity. This effect of vaccination injury is beyond words in its continued victimisation of those subjected to child sexual abuse.

Conclusion

Autism is inherently linked to deviant and primarily unhealthy forms of sexual arousal and expression. This negative outcome of autism is rarely discussed in the media, by neurodiversity activists, etc. It is both a result of, and further impairs, the ability of autistics to form meaningful romantic and sexual relationships.

The article “The Contributory Role of Autism Symptomology in Child Pornography Offending” by C. Allely was also used in writing this article.

A Brief History of British Antivaccinationism and Vaccine Scepticism Part 5: The Kulenkampff et al. Paper

Introduction

This series hopes to explore the history of British Antivaccinationism and Vaccine Scepticism. It is divided into 7 main eras: the period of Inoculation, 1721-1798; the introduction of vaccination, 1798-1853; the imposition of mandates, 1853-1898; the remaining history of the National Antivaccination League, 1898-1972; DTP Vaccine Scepticism 1972-1998; Andrew Wakefield and vaccines cause autism, 1998-2019, and Covid 19, 2020 to present. This section will look at a paper published in 1974 showing cases of injury from the DTP Vaccine (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis). It caused new demands for compensation for vaccine injuries.

Prior Concerns about the DTP Vaccine

There had been some prior concerns about possible vaccine risks, but they were not as mainstream. There had been some reports of encephalitis caused by the vaccine in the literature between 1948 and 1960.

The Paper

The paper was called ‘Neurological Complications of Pertussis Inoculation’ and it was published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. It can be found for free online via Research Gate for anyone who wants to read the full paper.

The paper looked at 36 children who had been seen at the Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, who had neurological injuries within 14 days of inoculation. The paper argued that there was a causal connection between the vaccine and the symptoms due to the timing of onset of symptoms as well as similarities between complications from the disease and the natural virus.

Symptoms included convulsions, long term neurological injury, and in one case death was reported as an outcome linked by the authors to the vaccine.

The authors suggested that more statistical work be carried out on the rate of vaccine injuries and injuries from natural infection, as well as withholding vaccination from those with certain contraindications.

The Effect on Vaccination Rates

The effects on vaccination rates were drastic. The DTP vaccination rate declined from 78.5% in 1971 to 37% in 1974. The vaccination rate did not recover until into the 1980s.

Demands for Compensation

There was a lot of concern about lack of compensation for injuries. No government program existed to compensate injuries. There was also evidence that the government compensation for the thalidomide scandal had been inadequate. As such new movements emerged to demand compensation.

An organisation was created to this effect – The Association of Vaccine Damaged Children. This organisation sought to prove the reality of vaccine injuries and to demand compensation. They argued that if children were demanded to take the risk of vaccination, then the family should be compensated should the vaccine go wrong. However they did not seek to demonstrate that vaccine injury was common, only that it was real.

The media also covered some cases of vaccine injury in a sympathetic way. There were also some doctors who supported the thesis put forth by Kulenkampff. Dr. Gordon Stewart reported 160 cases of encephalopathy that he believed were vaccine induced. He also provided quotes to the media.

The 1979 Act

As a result the government passed the Vaccine Damage Payments Act in 1979. This act provided a low level of compensation for vaccine injuries, £10,000, for those 80% disabled by vaccination, or the family of a vaccine death. The compensation applied for those who were both injured by a vaccine and for those who contracted a virus from a vaccinated individual. The legal standard applied was ‘balance of probability’ i.e. proving a 51% probability that the injury is vaccine induced.

The government believed they could keep payments low, because vaccine injuries were so rare.

Conclusion

Confidence in vaccination slowly recovered by the mid 1980s. Vaccination had been normalised in Britain by this time. The next scandal to affect vaccination in the UK was the Andrew Wakefield et al. 1998 paper on the MMR vaccine.

Two sources used for this article were the book Vaccinating Britain and the article the Pertussis Vaccine Controversy (these are obviously sources supportive of vaccination).

A Brief History of British Antivaccinationism Part 4 – The National Antivaccination League – 1896-1972

Introduction

This series hopes to explore the history of British Antivaccinationism and Vaccine Scepticism. It is divided into 7 main eras: the period of Inoculation, 1721-1798; the introduction of vaccination, 1798-1853; the imposition of mandates, 1853-1898; the remaining history of the National Antivaccination League, 1898-1972; DTP Vaccine Scepticism 1972-1998; Andrew Wakefield and vaccines cause autism, 1998-2019, and Covid 19, 2020 to present. This section will look at the resistance from ordinary people to vaccination during the late 19th century.

The Roots of the NAVL

The National Antivaccination League (NAVL) was founded in 1896. Its roots are in earlier organisations, such as Gibbs’ Anti Compulsory Vaccination League, started in 1866 in London. Afterwards, it became the London Society for the Abolition of Compulsory Vaccination, and then finally the NAVL.

Activities of the League – Publications

The League produced multiple publications over a period of years. They put out one regular publication called the Vaccination Inquirer and Health Review. This publication had started in 1879 by William Tebb and continued as the official publication of the NAVL.

The League also published a significant number of books questioning vaccination. These included books by many notable UK antivaccinationists, such as Maurice Beddow Bayly (who wrote on diphtheria and tuberculosis vaccines) J. T. Biggs (who wrote extensively on Leicester’s vaccination resistance) and Arnold Lupton (an MP opposed to vaccination).

Activities of the League – Advising Parents

The League gave advice to parents on how to avoid vaccination. One example in the Royal College of Surgeons archives, shows a leaflet produced by the League relating to the 1907 vaccination laws, which allowed conscientious objection. The leaflet showed specifically the steps to be taken to avoid vaccination.

Lily Loat – Tireless Antivaccination Activist

One of the key reasons for the successes of the NAVL was its secretary Lily Loat, who is one of the unsung heroes of historical antivaccinationism. She dedicated her life to opposing vaccination and was the secretary of the League for nearly 50 years.

Lily Loat joined the League in 1898, and became Secretary in 1909, and remained in that position until her death in 1958. She was a public voice of antivaccinationists, and also supported antivivisection causes. She also edited the Vaccination Inquirer.

She spoke at public meetings in both the UK and US. A couple of these addresses can be found via whale.to, where she discusses brain injuries caused by vaccination. Loat also wrote a book called The Truth about Vaccination and Immunisation, published in 1951. She worked for the League while sick with her final illness.

Lionel Dole, an antivaccinationist who wrote a book in the 1960s, mentioned Loat’s portrayal in the mainstream media:

The fact that she received no obituary notices whatever from our national newspapers was the highest compliment they could pay her. The only radio tribute to her great work was an oblique smear in a Granada TV serial. It showed two police officers looking with horror under a blanket at the corpse of an old woman recluse who had died of smallpox and who was said to have been a notoriously eccentric crank. Later in the episode, the junior officer remarks that at one time she had “actually started a league for the abolition of compulsory vaccination”; his Chief Inspector replies: “Oh, so it caught up with her!”

Oxford Dictionary of National Biography has a short biography of Loat, it requires a UK library card to access, and I am not sure if it is accessible in the US or elsewhere.

The End of the League

The Vaccination Inquirer ceased publication in 1972. One of the reasons for this was that the League struggled to replace Loat as secretary. Loat’s dedication to the movement was unmatchable.

Conclusion

The NAVL was the most notable organisation opposing vaccination in the first half of the twentieth century. Its demise in 1972 did not end British vaccine scepticism, however. In 1974 a paper would be published by Kulenkampff et al, showing brain injury from DTP vaccines. This would cause the DTP vaccination rate to plummet and begin a new vaccine injury movement.

The Humiliation of Autism

Introduction

One factor often ignored by those analysing autism is the inherent humiliation that is associated with autism. Humiliation is a factor, that unlike other aspects of autism, is worse the intelligence and function of the autistic individual. Intelligence allows the person to perceive their failings, but not to remedy them, resulting in humiliation and shame.

This article will discuss some of the humiliations of autism and why autism essentially means either completely avoiding other people or embarrassing oneself in public on a regular basis.

Sexual Humiliation

In a previous article, I discussed incels and how the incel phenomenon is inherently linked to autism. Autism leads to consistent sexual rejection and frustration.

This aspect of autism involves the obvious, such as attempting sexual approach and inevitability being rejected (because the attempt is always going to show autistic failings, such as poor eye contact, inappropriate comments, etc).

There is also a deeper level to this humiliation. That is the humiliation of never being perceived as sexually desirable and a viable partner. It is beyond the humiliation of an individual rejection.

Nothing can be done about this. Obviously you cannot compel people to find you sexually desirable or want to date you. Thus the only option left is constant burning shame.

Meltdowns

Imagine an adult having a full blown 2 year old style tantrum. That’s what meltdown looks like.

Now imagine having these in public in front of a bunch of people, screaming and crying, etc. Then imagine having to see the people you did this in front of again ever. I have been thrown out of two group therapy groups for doing this, by the way.

Not to mention you have to be aware of this happening at any time. I’ve never done this at work, for example, but it is always a possibility that you could and then get fired.

Which leads us on to…

Unemployment

As explained in previous articles, autistics have an extremely high unemployment rate. Even the intelligent ones. This causes high levels of humiliation as it is embarrassing to never be able to contribute to your family.

Social Incompetence

Not being able to relate to and understand other people also leads to humiliation. This happens when inevitably you say the incorrect thing and everyone else judges you for it. If you are intelligent you always realise after the fact you have said something stupid and then you burn up with humiliation.

Immature Obsessive Interests

Autistic ‘special interests’ are often in childish things, for example obsessing over video games or children’s toys. This again can be embarrassing.

Gait Disturbances

Autism can involve elements of ataxia and poor motor control. For example, I have issues where I still walk on tip toes particularly on my left leg and I have had problems trying to correct this. When I was at school one of my teachers even criticised me for it in drama class. Also there is a high risk of falling flat on your face and tripping over your own feet.

Conclusion

The daily humiliation associated with autism is a factor ignored by all of those in the neurodiversity movement and pro vaccinationists.

How Autism Created the Incel Movement

Introduction

Vaccination – via the creation of autism – makes a significant minority of men incapable of sexual and romantic relationships. This is a direct cause of the ‘incel’ (involuntary celibacy) movement, which vilifies and blames women for not giving them sex and relationships. In this post, we will explore the incel movement. While mainstream commentaries talk about the incel movement as primarily a misogyny problem triggered by factors such as pornography (which is partially true) they ignore the vaccine element as a significant cause of incel ideology and behaviour.

What is the ‘incel’ movement?

The term incel is a truncation of the term ‘involuntary celibacy’. It refers to men who would like to have sex and relationships, but are unable to do so. This is because they are unable to attract women.

The incel framework puts forward a specific ideology, which argues that dating is primarily based on looks. The incel philosophy divides men and women into categories based upon their perceived attractiveness to the opposite sex. ‘Chads’, for instance, are defined as 6′ confident, jacked men who can get lots of women. ‘Staceys’ are defined as pretty women who can have an attractive boyfriend, your stereotypically ‘blonde bimbo’ type. In the incel worldview, these people get most of the sex, and they believe that even if women will marry an ordinary man for financial security they will always cheat with ‘Chad’ men if possible. Incels believe that the primary reason they cannot get sex or a relationship is that they are physically unattractive, rather than other factors (although they do mention some other factors sometimes, the emphasis is generally on looks).

Of course the reality is that many ordinary looking men have meaningful relationships. It would be stupid to deny that physical attractiveness is relevant in a relationship, but women are obviously capable of being attracted to ordinary men. The main reason many of these men cannot get dates is not their looks, but their social incompetence caused by vaccination injury.

The link between Autism and the Incel Movement

Surveys have demonstrated that the rate of autism among self-identified incels using these incel forums online is much higher than in the general population. One study done by Swansea University found that 30% of incels would meet the criteria for a medical referral for autism diagnosis. Another study found that 18% of incels reported that they had an autism diagnosis.

As we have now established that these two factors are connected let’s examine in more detail why they are connected.

How Autistic Incompetence Causes Sexual Frustration and Rejection

Social incompetence is an inherent part of autism. This incompetence is a reason for a lack of sexual relationships. Let’s look at some more specific reasons why autistic men are unattractive to women.

Autistic men often come across as creepy. This can be because of either overdoing or under doing eye contact which means one comes across as staring or shifty, respectively. They may also make inappropriate sexual comments because of having an uncalibrated social filter. Or they simply do not know when/how to approach a woman.

Autistic men often have obsessive interests. Male fixed interests are usually of things that are of no interest to women. For example, men who are obsessed with trains, Star Trek, video gaming, etc. Women frankly do not care about this stuff, or even if they like something like video games to a degree, they don’t want to date an adult man obsessed with them.

Even if autistic men did get a date, they lack the social competence to manage a relationship. For example, the give and take required in a relationship which requires putting up with minor irritations from the other person and compromises. Autistics are often control freaks due to sensory problems and a relationship interferes with this behaviour.

How Autism causes Incel Theory

It is obvious to a reasonably functional and intelligent person that incel theory is false, due to the significant number of average or below average looking men that have successful relationships. Autism can explain why this theory that only attractive men get sex persists despite the fact it is obviously false.

In autism, there is a phenomenon that could be called the gap between intellectual and emotional development. With high functioning intelligent autistics, the gap between intellectual and emotions / social competence is not immediately obvious when one is a child (what child could be called ‘socially competent’ after all?). But in the teenage years, other people develop normal social relationships, whereas the autistic is intellectually above average, but the emotional side remains childish. The autistic is intelligent enough to see that other people have what they want, but not emotionally developed enough to realise why. This is the cause of the theory that only attractive men can get dates.

How Autism Causes the Misogyny of the Incel Movement

It is noted by the mainstream that the incel movement is incredibly misogynist. This is true.

The use of pornography by autistic men. There is some evidence to suggest that autistic people are more likely to get sex information from the internet than normal people. As pornography is violent and misogynist, this makes these men even less likely to get a date and more likely to hate women.

The perception of ‘women’ as a conglomerate with the same thoughts and feelings, rather than as individuals, could possibly also derive from autistic logic. For example, incels with often point to the behaviours of those women who write ‘fan mail’ to serial killers or other criminals as some sort of representation of their theory (that women want attractive thugs rather than men who are gentlemen but less attractive like themselves). Of course, only a very small minority of women write this sort of fan mail, as women are not a hive mind. Incels fail to understand the individual thoughts and feelings that individual women have due to the social incompetence of autism.

Conclusion

The mainstream media have criticised the incel movement for its misogyny but it is impossible for them to recognise the root of this movement as vaccine injury, autism. Mainstream portrayal of the incel phenomenon controls the narrative and there is a refusal to acknowledge that vaccine injury, and thus deeply damaged individuals, are at the heart of this movement.

A Brief History of British Antivaccinationism, Part 3.3 – Popular Resistance

Introduction

This series hopes to explore the history of British Antivaccinationism and Vaccine Scepticism. It is divided into 7 main eras: the period of Inoculation, 1721-1798; the introduction of vaccination, 1798-1853; the imposition of mandates, 1853-1898; the remaining history of the National Antivaccination League, 1898-1972; DTP Vaccine Scepticism 1972-1998; Andrew Wakefield and vaccines cause autism, 1998-2019, and Covid 19, 2020 to present. This section will look at the resistance from ordinary people to vaccination during the late 19th century.

Working Class Antivaccinationism

It had long been pointed out by antivaccinationists that the 1853 mandate was a piece of class legislation. Fines associated with non vaccination were easily payable by wealthy vaccine resistors, but ordinary resistors faced distraint (forced selling of their property) or prison.

Working class antivaccinationists saw vaccination as an attack and a threat to their bodies. They feared a threat to their employment (mandatory vaccination for employment), due to individual cases of employers attempting to force vaccination on their staff, particularly during an outbreak.

Working class people saw vaccination as an assault on their families. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, there was a belief among the elite that working class parenting, particularly working class mothering, was inadequate. Working class women were demonised for working (even though economic survival of the family depended on their income) and were seen as failing to contribute good children to a strong British race (see Anna Davin’s Imperialism and Motherhood). Working class people also perceived vaccination as a means of portraying their children as inherently diseased, and thus demonising them as the problem.

Vaccination was also linked to the New Poor Law, which compelled people into the workhouse if they were unable to find sufficient work to survive. The 1840 act which provided free vaccination was done via the Poor Law. Staff who were working in the vaccination program also worked in Poor Law administration. This associated vaccination with pauperism, a connection resented by working class people.

Resistance was associated with the East End of London, as well as certain working class towns, such as Leicester and Gloucester. It was also linked to other working class self improvement movements, such as the temperance movement. Examples of non compliance, other than the obvious refusing to vaccinate, included treating distraint sales as a protest venue, and physical assault against vaccination officers. (For more information about working class antivaccinationism, see the article ‘They Might as Well Brand Us’ by Nadja Durbach).

The largest display of resistance would occur in Leicester in 1885.

The Leicester Protest

Leicester was a hub of vaccination resistance. Antivaccinationist J. T. Biggs gives a very long account of Leicester and how the quarantine methods they employed after the 1871 smallpox outbreak were more successful than vaccination. Most of the city lost faith in vaccination after 1871, and there was a large amount of non-compliance with the vaccination edicts.

In 1885, there was a large protest against the mandatory vaccination laws in Leicester. This protest advocated for individual liberty and rejected the state control of working class children. Mothers stated that they wanted to protect their children from vaccination. The procession down the streets of Leicester included a horse and cow as the representations of vaccine lymph, furniture (as a representation of the distraint sales mentioned above) and an effigy of Edward Jenner. Further meetings also took place after the protest, stating the continued intent to resist vaccination.

Conclusion

Today, antivaccinationism is often portrayed by vaccinationists as a ‘privileged’ position advocated for by primarily middle-class mothers. If we look at history we can see this is far from the case and that many ordinary people were committed antivacciantionists.

Why David Lammy Wants to Get Rid of Jury Trials

Here in the UK, over the past few months, there has been a lot of talk about removing jury trials for the majority of criminal offenses, and instead having trials decided by a judge. The Deputy Prime Minister, David Lammy, has floated the idea of only maintaining jury trials for crimes with over 3 years jail time such as murder, attempted murder, rape, etc. The official reason for this is to save time, as the UK has a backlog of criminal cases, and Lammy argues that judges will be quicker than having to call and seat juries.

This policy may not be implemented, at least in the short term, because there is opposition to it from within the ruling Labour Party. However, the fact that this policy has even been suggested is revealing. It must be for a reason, and I don’t believe the official reason of saving time, since they didn’t care very much about any legal disruptions caused by lockdowns.

So what’s the reason? In my opinion, it is to guarantee convictions under the increasingly authoritarian anti free speech and anti protest legislation that has been passed over the last 5 years. We have seen a state of such draconian legislation, such as the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act, or the Online Safety Act, that claim to be in the name of public safety but in practise enhance state authoritarianism. For example,the Online Safety Act massively increases censorship through the excuse of protecting children. We are also seeing a large number of arrests of people for simply holding placards stating that they support Palestine Action, a direct action group that occupies arms factories that send weapons to Israel. There have also been some people arrested and/or convicted for comments made online on the political right. For example, Joey Barton, an (in my opinion) obnoxious ex-footballer, was arrested for comments which while offensive, were bad taste jokes (such as referring to football commentators he didn’t like as serial killers Fred and Rose West).

However, in order to enforce this authoritarianism fully, they need to be able to secure convictions on the charges. Which means they need juries to vote guilty. But there may be a significant number of jurors that would not convict, either because they agree with free speech principles or because they sympathise with the cause represented by the protesters. This weakens the ability to enforce these laws. Judges, on the other hand, would follow the law and convict under these draconian laws, enhancing enforcement and authoritarianism.

A Quick Analysis Demonstrating that a ~1 in 30 Autism Rate is Not Natural

Both neurodiversity activists and those who consider autism to be negative but also promote vaccination consider a 1 in 30 autism rate to be normal for humanity. 1 in 30 is the approximate current rate of autism among children in the United States. As these groups believe that autism is genetic, it must follow that they consider this rate to be relatively consistent across recorded history, because the human genome has not radically changed over this period. As such, it follows that, even given the limitations of recorded history in terms of preservation of evidence, there must be significant evidence of autism in past societies.

In this post, I am simply employing informed common sense to the idea that, for example, the Roman empire or Victorian London had a 1 in 30 autism rate.

It is surprising, when you look at their posts and accounts, how little plausible evidence they are able to dredge up of autism examples prior to the twentieth century. I don’t rule out a few cases of autism existing before vaccines because it is possible that substances such as aluminium, mercury, etc could have got into someone’s brain in another way. Usually, neurodiversity activists point to say, Isaac Newton, or some other example of a figure considered to be positive in history as an example (funnily enough, I have never seen them point to someone who is considered to have had a negative impact on society).

But to prove autism is normal, a few scattered examples are not enough. They have to prove 1 in 30, or they at least have to prove close enough that 1 in 30 is a plausible extrapolation. At this, they have failed miserably. In fact, I haven’t even seen an example where they make the attempt.

Another significant problem for the account that autism is natural is the unemployment rate and financial burdens of autism and its relation to human societies. We can use an employment rate as a reasonable proxy for the ability to function in a society. In the United Kingdom, the unemployment rate for autism is 78%. If we do a little simplification on the maths, we can use two-thirds unemployment as a rate generous to autism. Then, if we simplify our 1 in 30 rate to 1 in 33 or 3/100 to give us a rough approximation, it follows that if 3/100 people in the population are autistic and 2/3 of those cannot work due to autism, then 2/100 of the population is unemployed due to autism.

Think about this for a moment. Really think about it. Does it seem plausible that societies with fewer modern economic resources could sustain such a population? No.

We can start by going back within the past 50-125 years with modern welfare state systems. Are we supposed to believe that governments never noticed the huge amount of benefits being spent on autistic children and adults? Especially more conservative governments, who are always talking about the need to cut benefits? While estimates of the economic burden of autism are necessarily rough and somewhat problematic, it has been stated that to provide for an autistic without intellectual disability costs around a million pounds when taking into account all economic costs.

Going back further, in the Victorian era, there were systems such as Poor Law relief and as a last resort workhouses. Are we supposed to believe that no one noticed severely autistic children as a cause of this burden on families?

If we want to go back further, do we really believe that hunter-gatherer societies could have dealt with such an autism rate? Even high functioning autistic people would have been a heavy burden because of the necessity for communication and social cohesion in these societies.

As such, autism promoters need to provide some hard proof that this autism rate is normal and natural before I am even willing to consider that vaccines are not the primary cause.

Anti Digital ID Protest Birmingham 20 December 2025

This was the next monthly protest in the series.

On this occasion there were three main speakers, former Conservative politician Andrew Bridgen, David Icke, and Covid vaccine injured John Watt.

Andrew Bridgen spoke for about 4 minutes. The main theme of his speech was that digital ID is a one way street – once its introduced, it will be very difficult to get rid of. He said even if you are deluded enough to trust the current government, supporting digital ID is going to require trusting every future government. There is also a risk that the Labour government may come up with an excuse to cancel the 2029 general election. Digital ID is required for Agenda 2030, such as vaccine passports and carbon credits.

David Icke gave a long speech discussing what he called the global cult. There are similarities across countries due to the control over humanity by this global cult. The aim of this elite cult is to promote artificial intelligence and transhumanism as a means of control. The likes of Ray Kurzweil have made this agenda clear through their promotion of ideas such as the Singularity and the interlinking of AI and the human brain.

Elected politicians are deliberately idiotic and deliberately selected by the global cult to be do, so that people will be more willing to accept technocracy. They promote rigid belief systems and ideological conflict for control. Alternative media is too focused on issues like who killed Charlie Kirk, rather than exposing the real agenda.

It is better to remove the source of the problem rather than to talk about solutions. We need to stop believing in rigid belief systems as these are used for control.

John Watt spoke about the difficulties of getting help when injured by the Covid vaccine. It was good to see him give a speech since I believe at one point he was bedbound due to his injuries.

The next protest is 24th January. I will also cover that protest.

Anti Digital ID Protest Birmingham 8 November 2025

There was another protest against the government’s Digital ID scheme on 8 November 2025. This was in the same location, Chamberlain Square, Birmingham.

There were fewer speakers at this event, instead there was some live music as well as speakers. Then there was a march around the city centre. They had also set up a TV screen partway through the march advertising the next protest.

The crowd was a similar size to last time. The speakers included an Army veteran and Fiona from the Mass Non Compliance campaign. She gave a speech focusing on the government’s One Login and the international actors who are supporting tyranny such as the WEF.

Some video footage from this protest and the last one has been uploaded to my YouTube account. As of yet it hasn’t been censored. I plan to upload the videos to Odysee as well but you have to reformat everything and I haven’t yet had time.

The next protest in Birmingham is 20 December 2025 with David Icke.
