About me

The purpose of Spectrum Fairness is and has been to provide an outlet for exposing personally unjust experiences with other websites or groups, to do with what are presently called "autistic spectrum" conditions. Note that some folk deemd to be on the spectrum don't think the word "autistic" gives an accurate or fair impression, because the word's original meaning was so much narrower. SF began in 2004 as an experiment in creating a democratic check on how the Asperger's/ADHD/HFA scene on the web works. It doesn't matter whether there are many or few items on SF, the idea was to see over time whether its existence made a difference - and it did. At present, nasty experiences of personal injustice, being turned on by groups, backstabbings, vendettas, bannings, can happen too easily, and the victim is left emotionally hurt without even sufficient means to avenge the experience effectively or to put right an unjust balance of power in the group. The big "autistic spectrum" organisations have tended to make cynical business choices not to expose these goings on or to warn the public away from abusive groups. This is particularly wrong in the spectrumite scene, which is supposed to be supportive of folk who lack easy instincts at communication and social relations. That is unsustainable after the crisis SF has just passed through with Aspies For Freedom, which constitutes the ultimate legal proof of the automatic duty of the national organisations to take part in protecting spectrumites from hate campaigns and stalking. If you have experienced any social injustice from any group, website, or forum, concerned with any spectrum condition, ADHD included, and you are able to write a factual account of it, at present emailing it to info@spectrum-fairness.org.uk will still work after the emergency move of site that SF has had to go through on 4-5 Oct 2005. The new blog format for SF is an alternative means of access, given that some time ago there was an unexplained suspicious technical problem with the email link. Like any participative site, there has to be a legal disclaimer: all contributions will be on the basis that contributors are responsible for their content being correct. SF is determined to continue its service for publicly airing bad experiences, because this is a proven democratic necessity in the ASD scene. Their content is personal and does not reflect SF's views. Right to reply: Sites and groups that are criticised may have their own challenges to what is written, put on site as well provided they are motivated to repair personal breaches and not to defend any powers of personal rejection. Of course Logically this means admitting that personal fairness is a perpetual automatic right. Original contributors will be entitled to reply further to such replies, etc. Of course the blog format now makes all this easier, but this right to reply has always been there throughout SF's history. You notice this is a provision for the site's content to be 2 sided and fair, yet within a week of the SF's creation an idiot scrambling for ways to wriggle out of believing its content, had called it 1 sided. Such are humans! Another scare tactic by cynical defenders of sites' right to behave unfairly, is to call it obsessive to care about personal fairness to this extent. Anyone who argues that is on dangerous ground, because they are saying they don't want any safety from bullying to exist for spectrumites for whom smooth faultless social relations don't come naturally.
