Autistic Group Shut Down By Facebook

Eric Isherwood · 23-05-2011 01:47PM #1

http://www.autismtrustireland.com has been shut down by Facebook last saturday without any warning!

seamus · 23-05-2011 01:49PM

To be fair, they admit themselves that they were using their facebook page to badmouth other organisations and if they decide to shut down their organisation just because they no longer have a facebook page, then they can't have been a very solid organisation to begin with.

Eric Isherwood · 23-05-2011 08:40PM

this site got 11,000 hits and the group as you put it were no bad mouthing anyone, it was just asking the right questions, these other Irish Autistic groups to put there cards on the table. One group constantly fundraising never disclosed how much they raised like Peter Kay Concert @ 02 recently?????????

Eric, what you were doing, for literally months, was using a few legitimate questions about Irish Autism Organisations (that had already been researched and raised by others) as a thin veneer over a campaign of throwing your weight around and viciously bullying any individual you came across who did not comply with you on command.

Your page wasn't shut down for making rational challenges to organistions that badly need challenging, it was shut down for constantly abusing individuals.

I personally came across at least one instance where it devolved into simple abuse and blatant cyberstalking of an ordinary Mum running a small parents group with no funds at all, just because she did not like what you were doing and discontinued association with you.

You were not just giving other Autism Organisations a bad name, you were giving the people who are doing the real work of querying the genuine anomalies in some of the larger, wealthier organisations a bad name by association with you.

...and trust me, I am a hardliner *against* the big organisations you claim to have been opposing and your behaviour was doing far more harm than good, every step of the way.

I have NO IDEA why you suddenly started to behave this way but it is NOT acceptable to anyone, on any level.

Eric Isherwood · 24-05-2011 05:39PM

Aare you of course are entitled to your view but you are from the outside looking in!http://www.cclr.listen2myradio.com

Eric Isherwood · 24-05-2011 05:45PM

That ordinary mum you speak of I got rid of her and is is not ordinary she is as cunning as a Fox. Wish I could say more but it's up to you who you believe fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me!http://www.cclr.listen2myradio.com

aare · 24-05-2011 06:21PM

No Eric, I am afraid I am very much "from the inside looking out" FAR more so than you...to the extent that I actually did a lot of the "research" you have been passing off as your own into the organisations. That is how very far ahead of your nonsense I am.

...and I can tell you now that all you are doing is attacking any organisation that will not give you your own way and promoting any organisation that does...

You may be attacking some organisations that need investigation, but you are ALSO supporting some organisations who belong in jail for very similar reasons, and far worse...the only difference you make is whether they will play along with you or not. Whether they are doing the right thing is completely irrelevant to you, as far as I can tell you do not have a CLUE about any of it really, just about what *you* want and what suits *you*, and to blazes with how that affects anyone else.

I am not quite sure *which* of the several ordinary mums (doing their best at their own expense, that you have attacked for basically refusing to go on humouring you) that you are calling "cunning like a fox", but setting up childish little webpages making spiteful personal attacks a child in school would be ashamed of and then posting tiny urls linking them everywhere you can, as you have done, would not be an appropriate approach to Satan himself.

This makes no sense. Facebook don't control your .com site. You can continue to publish anything you like (within legal bounds) to your .com pages. Don't blame Facebook for your decision to stop publishing.

Don't worry, they were ALL still alive, well and trying to be a lot nicer and more understanding than I would ever be about it all, at the last count.

Eric, I did not "liken" you to Satan. I said the way you have been abusing people on the internet would not be an appropriate way to treat Satan - a very different thing.

If you had your way (which will never, EVER happen), given some of the kind of people and approaches you support, the only future for anyone with ASD would be a living nightmare...and I mean that very sincerely.

You are being completely crazy now Eric you chose to shut down http://www.autismtrustireland.com/ yourself.

All facebook shut down was your facebook page, which you were constantly using to abuse anyone who would not give you your own way, which is against Facebook's TOC. You could have kept http://www.autismtrustireland.com/ if you wanted to. I think it's is time you faced the truth, the only people visiting your site from facebook in the end were checking to see the abuse you were posting.

aare · 24-05-2011 10:47PM

People have no choice but keep track when they are abused, and, unfortunately, too many people have a lurid fascination with the abuse of others.

Barrt2 · 24-05-2011 11:00PM

facebook, you changed our profiles, change our font, failed too add a dislike button but you got it right deleting this page full of abuse and childish comments.

aare you are so very right about this

aare · 24-05-2011 11:15PM

You are saying that nearly 11,000 people went to Facebook and then went to Autism Trust Ireland only as you see it to check out as you put it again which I strongly dispute, to see what i was saying about other groups.So now you are the Judge and Jury and you were at this computer and tapped my phone when people rang me looking for help.So you dismiss with the stroke of a pen anything positive Autism Trust Ireland did?

Autism Trust never did anything positive or useful at all.

Autism Trust Ireland have always been a byproduct of your dysfunctional ego, and as such promoted anyone who humored you and condemned anyone who did not as a sole criteria.

Initially some people were genuinely taken in, others tried to be nice and give you a chance. When people are desperate they will try anything and everything -once. But they soon learned you have nothing to offer but your ego for massaging and that unless they played along with you and agreed with every word you said you would throw a tantrum.

Eric - If your main website has useful content, the visitors will come. If, on the other hand, your main objective was the have arguements with people, visitors will stay away. No-one has censored you, except yourself. You can continue to post any content you like to your own website, with legal bounds.

You know you flatter me and we achieved nothing! Tell me of any other group in Ireland who ever put on a Free Conference tell me of any other parents who got a school open St.Gabriel's in Bishopstown through High Court Action we took while our twin Autistic sons were in America. You don't have the clue what you are talking about. Yes we shut down Autism Trust Ireland and we set out at least 85 ID cards to people which these cards were for parents who child or adult with Autism may wander. These were not made to get discounts for disney as some group have or at the airport for ID.If you are traveling all airlines can be rung before hand and if you tell your situation will be happy to accommodate you and your family. Facebook was an very important avenue for us to link people to our website. We were not an Autistic scout movement as some are, but yes they offer a service which gives children an outlet to enjoy themselves but I would be concerned as there is no paper trail with some groups, no openess and transparency. Good luck to you if this is what you want but I am not going to have someone who is just speculating...... and that's all you have done in your post take away from what we achieve.If you want to go on with tunnel vision for the rest of your life then the best of Luck to you. My information was not fictional like yours......

Lots of groups run free Autism conferences every year, some even run more than one.

Sadly, in too many cases, they do this just to foist their own questionable agenda on the unsuspecting, however, they usually manage to be reasonably polite about it and make some kind of recognisable sense. I am assured that you did neither.

You sent your twin son's to the "Son Rise" program in the USA. How this was funded has never been publicly disclosed to my knowledge. The "Son Rise" programs is generally condemned as far too expensive and "hard sell", with no evidence of effectuality by most people:
http://rsaffran.tripod.com/sonrise.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son-Rise#Criticism_and_lack_of_cured_cases

It is, in addition, "Son Rise" is frequently condemned by adult autistics as ineffectual and, at least, mildly, abusive.

St Gabriel's School in Bishopstown are owned and run by the Brother's of Charity, who receive about 200 million in direct government grants every year to provide mostly, very part time (a few days a month) respite care for about 2000 people. They employ almost as many admin staff as front line staff and have a vehicle budget of 1 or 2 million on alternate years (NB Admins, this is all straight from their own filed annual accounts at http://www.cro.ie so nothing to worry about).

ID cards for eloping autistic kids are all but useless. They need GPS tracking systems.

...oh and while you were running around throwing tantrums for your own way we were investigating and revealing the real financial situation for all the Irish Autism Organisations.

For instance:
The Irish Society for Autism is by far the wealthiest.
Irish Autism Action pays it's CEO the highest salary

You need a serious reality check (and probably quite a lot of the right kind of help) before you do some actual harm.

My sons never went to the Son Rise program in the USA wrong, wrong and wrong.....I think you are making this up as you go along . How can you make comments about the BOC budget this is just all pie in the sky stuff and you are only showing yourself up by printing such wild and fictional stuff. The Brothers of Charity supply a service that's second to none in this country! It's been fun but I am bored of you now come back to me when you know what you are talking about and you come back down to earth!

It was you on an earlier incarnation of your own site that claimed your sons went to the "Son Rise" program in the USA, in considerable detail. If you are now denying that they were in the "Son Rise" program, I suggest you tell us where they were instead?

I also suggest that you check the accounts of the Brothers of Charity as filed at http://www.cro.ie as a legal requirement, for yourself.

It seems to me that you have been making things up as you go along for some considerable time.

Never ever said my sons went to Son Rise show me the evidence of that but you appear to know everything so tell me where they went??? I suggest when you have the correct information come back and apologise to people reading this post for giving out wrong information!zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sorry, whatever Eric has claimed at various times, the twins were, in fact at the Higashi School in Boston:

Perhaps it would have been wiser to send them to "Son Rise"?
