The Letter I Sent To The Florida Bar Board of Governors FOIA and Public Records Request Concerning Specific Autism Title II ADA/Sec. 504 Compliance

Here is the letter I just served on The Florida Bar Board of Governors, and my Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Florida Public Records Requests regarding their Autism bullying civil rights violations and refusal to require specific Autism training of each Florida lawyer and ensure people with Autism in Florida can hire an Autism competent attorney to represent us.

I will also keep the Autism community updated on this matter as I have personally witnessed and been informed that people and families with Autism who have been attempting to exercise our individual Autism civil rights have been targeted by a Florida Bar policy of some type to obstruct our civil rights and censor our First Amendment free speech on significant matters of concern to the Autism community and each one of us living with Autism, to further the apparent view of some people that they would like to have a Country in which people with Autism do not exist:

MY LETTER CONCERNING THE FLORIDA BAR AND THEIR VIOLATION OF AUTISM CIVIL RIGHTS


[Address redacted]

July 22, 2011

Scott G. Hawkins, Esq
President of The Florida Bar Board of Governors,
The Florida Bar
651 E. Jefferson Street
Tallahassee, FL 32399-2300


Re: Public Records and Freedom of Information Act Request Directly On The Florida Bar Board Of Governors – Expedited Processing


TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FLORIDA BAR AND JOHN HARKNESS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR:

By way of brief introduction, my name is Mary Katherine Day-Petrano. I have autism.

As a threshold issue, my concerns and enumerated requests below are grounded in fact and official record within the relevant time-frame I refer to throughout this communication.

According to the Federal Special Report September 2005, Office of the Inspector General,(the Report) the FBI has admitted their use of confidential informants has violated both federal or state law, with serious adverse consequences to third parties.

The Report states “FBI's Human Intelligence Unit (HIU), as of April 30, 2005, the FBI was operating among its informants, "privileged" informants (e.g., attorneys, clergy, or physicians) or media-affiliated informants.” (Exhibit B)

I am sending this to the Board because I have been and continue to be, the target of vicious Autism ADA retaliation bullying (See Exhibit A; 42 U.S.C. Sec. 12203) by more than one Florida Bar member you license (See Exhibit A).

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552 et seq., amended by OPEN Government Act of 2007, Pub. L. No. 110-175, 121 Stat. 2524, and the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, and corresponding regulations, 34 C.F.R. § 5.1 et seq. I request that a copy of all of the following documents pertaining to the matters set forth below and / or records indexed to my name be sent to me. To help identify information about me in your record systems, I am providing the following required information: My current address is 11502 SE US HWY 301, Hawthorne, FL, 32640. I am a U.S. citizen by birth, born on April 16, 1056 in Jackson, MI. My Soc. Sec. # is 043-60-8286.

This is also a Public Records Request, and 28 C.F.R. Sec. 35.130(f) Title II ADA records request for non-discriminatory treatment, in addition to Freedom of Information Request involving information sought in part against TFB General Counsel Paul Hill, because I would like to rule-out whether Mr. Hill has acted to retaliate against my Autism disabilities by ensuring that every single Bar grievance I file is either not accepted or is routinely dismissed by persons lacking specific Autism training including based on Bar grievance staff falsifying facts I attempt to communicate, ordering me to sign to the truth of material I cannot see to read on inaccessible paper print formats that violate Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act, and refusing to require lawyers responding to sign truth of their response as Title II of the ADA requires. Accordingly, I want to give the Board every benefit to inform me whether Mr. Hill is or is not doing so, at the behest and/or knowledge of the Board.

I am concerned whether Mr. Hill has set a policy imputable to The Florida Bar and Board of Governors of refusing the specific Autism genetic and disability “effective communication” accommodations I require, has refused to require all Florida lawyers to receive specific Autism and Title II Americans With Disabilities Act training, and has used those Title II ADA civil rights violations against me to refuse a disciplinary remedy against those lawyers bullying my Autism including but not limited to on Facebook and the causally-linked breakings and entering to my property in Alachua County, Florida, against lawyers who have assaulted me, and to prevent me from being able to hire competent, specifically Autism trained legal counsel to represent me in the State of Florida.

I do not take lightly the words of agreement of the Autism bullying conspiracy to violate my civil rights statement “no hole in the middle” exists (“See Exhibit “A”), in terms of conspiracy to obstruct my 10-year struggle to attain Florida Bar admission and secure an Autism-specific Title II ADA accessible court anywhere in Florida, thereby blocking every source of my Autism income and supports while repeated law enforcement financial and other entrapment efforts are mounted against me in a Virgil Hawkins-style manner. I have no criminal record whatsoever and I passed the most difficult bar examination in the U.S., as a single mother with no financial support whatsoever. Provide me dignity I deserve by expediting thorough, meaningful and truthful responses, absent omission or lack of candor, in the literal Autism language I speak, to my enumerated requests below.

Request #1: Please be so kind to furnish me with names of such “privileged” attorneys as described in the FBI Guidelines pertaining to use of “privileged” CIs, employed by TFB, or otherwise under contract with TFB, including but not limited to Paul Hill, Esq. and Thomas M. Gonzalez, Esq., so that I may rule-out whether such attorneys have ever at any time violated my civil rights as a person with Autism related or otherwise to the declarations against interest (admissions) posted on the Internet (Exhibit A) and my Facebook page, by having associated themselves in / with any cases, TFB complaints, inquiries or controversies I have been party to or have expressed desire to file, either individually, or in my employment as law clerk to David F. Petrano, Esq, (FL BAR NO 624586), and/or any actions that have interfered with my Alachua County, Florida home ownership property rights, warranty deed, title insurance, and/or mortgage, California and/or Florida Bar admissions, my insurance settlements including but not limited to those for UM with Nationwide blocked for 2 ½ years for a significant brain injury requiring timely treatment, Citizens property insurance, and title insurance on my property, the 9 year delay in my Social Security disability benefits, obstructing my workman’s compensation benefits to funnel the benefits I would have received to build the 1st DCA Taj Mahal Courthouse while Autism access Title II ADA compliance is not being provided, obstructing payment of my wages by several horse employers, my brain injury and other medical care at University of South Florida and with Michael W. Hoffmann, MD, my meaningful Autism Florida Courts access, and/or the maiming of my medically prescribed Autism disability service therapy horse and/or the breakings and entering to my property in Alachua County, Florida.

Request #2: Please be so kind to furnish me with all records explaining, addressing, analyzing, and purporting to give a legal justification why Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act excuses the Florida Bar from making it a mandatory requirement that each and every lawyer licensed by The Florida Bar undergo specific Autism, Autism language, and Title II ADA Autism disability training as well as why The Florida Bar does not feel it is under a duty to update its Title II ADA self-evaluation (28 C.F.R. Sec. 35.105(a), (c) to specifically address Autism, lawyer training in Autism, an Autism bullying policy, overhaul its specific communication processes and complaint procedures for Autism language and to make a multiple-lawyer Autism bullying complaint in one package, and provide me the count for Civil Rights inclusion of the numbers of Bar members with Autism vs. non-Autistic Bar members to demonstrate compliance with the Title II ADA Equal Protection mandates to ensure The Florida Bar is not compositionally non-Autism homogeous.

Request #3: Please be so kind to furnish me with all records of any type whatsoever for each and every person and their identity and Bar number or other licensure number and agency, if applicable, and for each and every member, employee, contractor or other agent or assign with whom The Florida Bar has discussed me or about me in any manner and/or who accessed my www.equiisautisticsavantartist.webs.com website and/or my Facebook page at the behest of or on behalf of or on direction of The Florida Bar or any member, employee, agent, contractor, or assign thereof. For all records pertaining to discussion about me with others, pls, identify those others.

I am further making this public records and Freedom of Information Request (FOIA) request upon yourself and all components of The Florida Bar as a citizen blogger on Twitter and journalist to the Autism community and all people with Autism (http://equiisautististicsavant.blogspot.com/) to keep them informed of vital issues of public concern for which the out-of-control Florida Bar Autism policies, hackings and Autism cyberbullying and other Autism bullying civil rights retaliation violations to which I have been subjected and need to immediately be brought to a halt, thus I am entitled to all such records free of charge and expedited processing of my FOIA request, as well as free of charge under Title II ADA’s non-surcharge implementing regulation for non-discriminatory treatment, 28 C.F.R. Sec. 35. 130(f) that federally-preempts Florida’s public records cost schedules.

Given that there is ‘no legitimate law enforcement interest’ in an unlawful civil rights and/or U.S. ratified Treaty violation against people with Autism including me that is imputable from Florida to the United States, see Shotz v. City of Plantation, Fla., 344 F.3d 1161 (11th Cir. 2003) (law enforcement vendetta to mis-use law enforcement power to commit a civil rights retaliation), the materials requested cannot be withheld under Sec. 504 and 42 U.S.C. Sec. 12201(b) (expressly superceding “other federal laws”) language that impliedly or expressly amends, repeals, and/or supercedes public records and FOIA exceptions, exemptions, state secrets, or National Security “pre-texts” that violate Autism and disability civil rights (See Exhibit A).

Additionally, I am claiming entitlement to expedited processing because the lack of expedited treatment could reasonably be expected to pose a threat to my life or physical safety; I will suffer the loss of substantial due process rights and thus expedition is appropriate; I am a person primarily engaged in disseminating information to the public under various Internet pen names including but not limited to my own name and EquiisSavant and EquiisAutisticSavant and EquiisAutisticSavantArtist and the information is urgently needed to inform the public concerning some actual or alleged federal government activity; and, finally, expedition is appropriate because the subject of Autism and all matters pertaining thereto is of widespread and exceptional media interest and the information sought involves possible questions about the government's integrity which affect public confidence.

I anticipate hearing from you within 10 working days (34 C.F.R. § 5.51(d); 28 C.F.R. § 35.130(f)). Thank you for your attention to this matter.

For each and every item you dispute might be covered by such a defense to public production, pls. provide a privilege log of each and every item as I am claiming them all to be pre-texts under which yourself, TFB, lawyers TFB licenses, FBI, DOJ, and others in concert with them have violate my Autism and disability civil rights.

This is notice each withhold of information I seek under any “pre-text,” asserted on your end, can effectively ground a spoliation of evidence claim(s) under Florida law and Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 seeking evidentiary presumptions against those who have committed these civil rights violations against me.

I am publishing this Public Records and FOIA Request on my Autism blog. I may also share on my Autism blog your response and the records you produce.

I declare under penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746 that I am authorizing you to release all information concerning and/or indexed to me in any way.

Respectfully,
/S
Mary Katherine Day-Petrano

RE: THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION'S TERRORIST WATCHLIST NOMINATION PRACTICES AND FBI’S USE OF EXIGENT LETTERS AND OTHER INFORMAL REQUESTS FOR TELEPHONE RECORDS – REQUEST TO AMEND YOUR RESPONSE TO CONGRESS AND EXPEDITED FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUESTS

Dear Mr. Beaudet:

By way of brief introduction, my name is Mary Katherine Day-Petrano. I have autism.

I. Request Amendment to Your Response(s) To Inform Congress The FBI’s Terrorist Watch List Nomination Practices and FBI’s Use of Exigent Letters and Other Informal Requests for Telephone Records, Are Not Sec. 504 Compliant And Violate Civil Rights By Failure to Protect Autistic Americans Of The United States

I have thoroughly reviewed "The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Terrorist Watchlist Nomination Practices" (the Nomination Practices) submitted to you by Arthur M Cummings, Executive Assistant Director, National Security Branch, US Dept Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington DC, 20535-0001, on April 29, 2009.

In terms of the top challenges facing the Department of Justice (Department), including issues involving counterterrorism, improving information technology, effective grant management, and other important high-priority issues, the Nomination Practices fail to state whether they are Section 504 and otherwise civil rights complaint to protect the civil rights of people with Autism including myself, and fail to contain the required Section 504 self-evaluation as well as predicate, preliminary, threshold civil rights safeguards and a due process screening process to ensure the civil rights of people with Autism are not violated.

Additionally, it has come to my attention that the FBI’s Use of Exigent Letters and Other Informal Requests for Telephone Records likewise fail to state whether they are Section 504 and otherwise civil rights complaint to protect the civil rights of people with Autism including myself, and fail to contain the required Section 504 self-evaluation as well as predicate, preliminary, threshold civil rights safeguards and a due process screening process to ensure the civil rights of people with Autism are not violated.

In terms of FBI established criteria and quality controls to assist in the development of appropriate issuance of exigent letters, and sneek & peeks, in addition to your objective to “determine whether subjects of FBI terrorism investigations are appropriately and timely watchlisted and if these records are updated with new identifying information as required,” you know or should know from the medical literature about Autism and related conditions that can occur in with complex Autism developmental disabilities, we have an invidious, inherent different neurology that does not give us the cognition to pretend, deceive, or interpret any language other than the exact words used literally, or even the neurological Autism social initiation abilities required for a criminal actus reus absent an entrapment “prompting” cue.

The above-stated, most of us including myself, were functionally non-verbal in spoken and non-verbal language. Some of us, such as myself, have brain stem motor neuron disabilities including paralytic vaccine injuries. Many of us, including myself, have temporal lobe epilepsies, multi-sensory integration impairments, and severe sensory disabilities.

At least one state has made an effort to make it a felony for persons to handle people with Autism without a specific training certificate for Autism (Connecticut), and at least one state judge (New York) has stated his opinion that no judicial officer or other person can understand Autism disabilities if they lack specific Autism training. The lack of such training, whether it is a doctor, lawyer, judge, prosecutor, law enforcement officer, investigator, juror, or even a witness giving background information, pose an unconstitutionally high risk of misinterpreting and misunderstanding Autism and those of us who have it, such that false accusations or charges and even false statement to federal officers by witnesses may be made upon us simply as a consequence of the ignorance about what exactly is Autism. Moreover, the GSA has not made any of the federal courthouses communication, sensory, and physically accessible to people with complex Autism disabilities.

Further, it has been established in the medical literature that people with Autism require extensive supports and services to navigate almost every aspect of social structure, do not understand anything we are not explicitly taught through the Early Autism Interventions we are provided which depend on the window of early neuro-plasticity, cannot defend ourselves against others, and we are told to trust others and bond to those others who are rare and few with whom we interact such that any breach of this trust can cause neurological Autism regression and severe PTSD that Veteran’s Administration brain injury research demonstrates can cause metabolic syndrome and onset of dementias or Alzheimer’s disease.

As a result, the failure of: (1) The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Terrorist Watchlist Nomination Practices," (2) the FBI Guidelines for Domestic Operations, (3) the FBI’s Use of Exigent Letters and Other Informal Requests for Telephone Records, to demonstrate Sectioon 504 compliance and self-evaluation for Autism disabilities poses an unconstitutionally high risk of Torture, regressive neurological harm, and epigenetic damage specifically to people with complex Autism disabilities.

Given that the United States “created the danger” to Americans with Autism by failure to timely and fully fund the appx. $3.2 million Autism needs Harvard research findings state we require, provide the timely early Interventions we as individuals in the Autism population required as soon as Kanner identified Autism in 1943, and has compelled genetically susceptible Americans (mostly Jewish Caucasian genomes) to receive unsafe vaccinations without our informed consent causing vaccine injuries to many of us, there does not appear to be any legal justification for the Nomination Practices and all FBI Guidelines to fail to comply with Section 504 including having a predicate, preliminary, threshhold Autism disability civil rights screening process before they are applied to any person with complex Autism disabilities. Section 504 contains no National Security or law enforcement exception in its plain civil rights language, and the Supreme Court did specifically hold in Yeskey v. Pennsylvania Dept. of Corrections, 524 U.S. 206 (1998) and Goodman v. Georgia, 546 U.S. 151 (2006) that the disability civil rights laws do apply to all aspects of law enforcement activity.

In no small part, the Nomination Practices and all FBI Guidelines even lack an Autism bullying policy and enforcement mechanism to ensure Neuro-typical social cooperation gang bullying will not occur against vulnerable Americans with Autism disabilities as it has by Neuro-typical United States Attorneys peers who have bullied me because they do not want inclusion of Autism people amongst their own as Bar members, or (as in the case of e.g. Kyle F. Waldsinger, Esq.) are mis-using their office as a social favor to Autism bully on behalf of the agendas of their former employers.

Not only have my Autism and disability civil rights and Treaty rights been violated, but I am aware that others in the Autism community who attempt to exercise their civil rights and First Amendment speech and associational rights have also been unjustifiably attacked, bullied, and/or violated. In sum, civil rights hate crimes and egregious civil rights violations are being perpetrated upon Americans with Autism simply for exercising our civil rights.

As a result, I am asking you to amend your response to Congress regarding all prior communications by yourself, the FBI, and/or DOJ as described above to inform Congress "The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Terrorist Watchlist Nomination Practices and FBI’s Use of Exigent Letters and Other Informal Requests for Telephone Records, are not compliant with Section 504 and as a result they contain no safeguards to prevent the violation of civil rights of Americans with Autism.

II. Freedom Of Information Request – Expedited Processing

I am further making the below Freedom of Information Request (FOIA) request upon yourself and all components of the FBI and DOJ as a citizen blogger on Twitter and journalist to the Autism community and all people with Autism (http://equiisautististicsavant.blogspot.com/) to keep them informed of vital issues of public concern for which the out-of-control FBI hackings and Autism cyberbullying and other autism bullying need to immediately be brought to a halt, thus I am entitled to all such records free of charge and expedited processing of my FOIA request.

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552 et seq., amended by OPEN Government Act of 2007, Pub. L. No. 110-175, 121 Stat. 2524, and the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, and corresponding regulations, 34 C.F.R. § 5.1 et seq. I request that a copy of all of the following documents in whatever files, documents, images, correspondence, telephone, Internet, and other writings, transmissions, electronically stored information, and/ or data and all other categories of information of whatever kind or form pertaining to the matters set forth below and / or records indexed to my name be sent to me by each of the herein-specified agencies and components. To help identify information about me in your record systems, I am providing the following required information: My current address is 11502 SE US Hwy 301, Hawthorne, FL 32640. I am a U.S. citizen by birth, born on April 16, 1056 in Jackson, MI. My Social Security # is 043-60-8286.

Because this request is being made by a blogger – tweeter – journalist – Autism & civil rights reporter who publishes newsworthy information at http://equiisautististicsavant.blogspot.com/ and on Twitter and various other Internet forums and blogs, I request that you waive all fees associated with this request, in accordance with 34 C.F.R. § 5.64. Disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government concerning the Autism spectrum, people with Autism, Autism civil rights, and all matters related thereto including but not limited to why the United States is using its counterterrorism laws and criminal investigations to target people with Autism for exercising or attempting to exercise our civil rights with the objective to ensuring a World and Country in which no people with Autism exist within it.

Given that there is ‘no legitimate law enforcement interest’ in an unlawful civil rights and/or U.S. ratified Treaty violation against people with Autism including me, see Shotz v. City of Plantation, Fla., 344 F.3d 1161 (11th Cir. 2003), the materials requested cannot be withheld under Sec. 504 and 42 U.S.C. Sec. 12201(b) (expressly superceding “other federal laws”) language that impliedly or expressly amends, repeals, and/or supercedes FOIA exceptions, exemptions, state secrets, or National Security “pre-texts” that violate Autism and disability civil rights.
If you deny all or any part of this request, please (1.) cite each specific exemption you think justifies your refusal to release the information and notify me of appeal procedures available under the law; and (2.) provide a legal citation why 42 U.S.C. Sec. 12201(b) / Shotz v. City of Plantation, Fla., 344 F.3d 1161 (11th Cir. 2003) express amendment and/or repeal in whole or part of your claim to relay on FOIA exemptions is not superceded and over-ridden by the Sec. 12201(b) superceding by the ADA of “other federal laws” and/or implied repeal by Sec. 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, ratified human rights Treaties including but not limited to the Convention Against Torture, Genocide Convention, Geneva Conventions, and UN Charter, and/ or civil rights HATE CRIMES being asserted as not overriding any claimed exemptions by you.
Additionally, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 and Rules Regulating the Bar or Rules of Professional Conduct for your legal advisors licensing jurisdictions, for each and every item you dispute might be covered by such a defense to public production, pls. provide a privilege log of each and every item as I am claiming them all to be pre-texts under which yourself, FBI, DOJ, and others in concert with them have violate my Autism and disability civil rights.

FOIA Request:

All files, documents, images, correspondence, telephone, Internet, and other writings, transmissions, electronically stored information, and/ or data and all other categories of information of whatever kind or form including all medical, genetic, epigenetic, films, scans, or other diagnostic tests of whatever kind or form, including medical records about me with various components of the MK Ultra programs, and names, state of license, type of license, and license numbers for each medical or health care assessor, reviewer, and/or professional involving myself under any of my current of former names: Mary Katherine Day, Mary Day Snyder, Mary Katherine Day-Petrano, and any other name or alias under which you have me known.

All files, documents, images, correspondence, telephone, Internet, and other writings, transmissions, electronically stored information, and/ or data and all other categories of information of whatever kind or form including all medical, genetic, epigenetic, films, scans, or other diagnostic tests of whatever kind or form, including medical records about her with various components of the MK Ultra programs, and names, state of license, type of license, and license numbers for each medical or health care assessor, reviewer, and/or professional involving my deceased mother under any of her current of former names: Claire Ann Thrun, Claire Ann Day, Claire Thrun Day, and any other name or alias under which you have her known.

The official Bar membership names, state of Bar license, and Bar membership numbers of each and every and/or all legal counsel providing you advice or commentary regarding any of the information sought herein including the assessment and/or creation of it, including this request, and the specific Autism training they have received, by whom, type, and hours of such training.

Regarding "The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Terrorist Watchlist Nomination Practices" (the Nomination Practices) submitted to you by Arthur M Cummings, Executive Assistant Director, National Security Branch, US Dept Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington DC, 20535-0001, on April 29, 2009

Conclusion

As you are aware, the acts committed against me above give me the legal right to sue those who have violated my Autism and disability civil rights and Treaty rights based on Bivens, Federal Tort Claims Act, Section 504, and/or other civil rights laws.

Additionally, I am claiming entitlement to expedited processing because the lack of expedited treatment could reasonably be expected to pose a threat to my life or physical safety; I will suffer the loss of substantial due process rights and thus expedition is appropriate; I am a person primarily engaged in disseminating information to the public under various Internet pen names including but not limited to my own name and EquiisSavant and EquiisAutisticSavant and EquiisAutisticSavantArtist and the information is urgently needed to inform the public concerning some actual or alleged federal government activity; and, finally, expedition is appropriate because the subject of Autism and all matters pertaining thereto is of widespread and exceptional media interest and the information sought involves possible questions about the government's integrity which affect public confidence.

I anticipate hearing from you within 10 working days (34 C.F.R. § 5.51(d)). Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is notice that for each and every item you unjustifiably withhold under a “pre-text,” I intend to seek to raise a spoliation of evidence claim under Florida law and Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 and seek to impose the spoliation evidentiary presumptions against those who have committed these civil rights violations against me.

I am publishing this Letter to Amend your Response To Congress and FOIA Request on my Autism blog to inform the Autism community of these significant matters of public concern, as well as providing a copy of it to Congress Intelligence Committees. I may also share on my Autism blog your response and the records you produce, including any refusal to cooperate with “transparency” in the FBI’s targeting of persons with severe Autism disabilities for civil rights violations by the pre-textual use (mis-use) of United States counter-terrorism laws and criminal investigations.

I declare under penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1746 that I am authorizing you to release all information concerning and/or indexed to me under any of my names as above-mentioned / and/or involving in any way my doctor – patient relationships directly to me as a pro se person holding a Juris Doctorate degree and having passed the California Bar Examination, and I am additionally authorizing you to release all information concerning and/or indexed to my deceased mother, Claire Ann Day and/or Claire Ann Thrun and/or any other alias name under which she is known to you as her only sole heir known to me and her, specified as beneficiary in her last California holographic will, who is under that will her personal representative of her (as-yet unprobated) will and estate.

I also declare that as I was writing this request to report to Congress, my AAC Autism Internet computer was heavily hacked, obstructed my ability to write this request to report, and I was also obstructed specifically from viewing the FBI FOIA components list on the FBI Internet website.

Respectfully,
/S

White Affluent Male Bias Causes Disparate Impact Untimely Autism Diagnoses, Additional Neurological Injuries, & Autism Undercount To Minorities

I responded in a tweet-out on Twitter to a tweet of THIS article by another member of the Autism community, HERE: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/aspergers-diary/201001/bias-bettelheim-and-autism-is-history-repeating-itself

The article starts off with the proposition: "Autism caused by whiteness and affluence." Id.

The article then goes on to point out the tragedy occurring to Hispanics and Blacks who receive UNTIMELY Autism diagnoses, thereby setting into motion a series of domino-like events resulting in the failure to get TIMELY Early Autism supports, thereby, as a consequence, inflicting additional neurological injuries on those with Autism.

The article describes the struggles these minorities are experiencing as a result of receiving UNTIMELY Autism diagnoses, the Autism being trivialized, and them being brushed-off, largely as a result of a lack of sufficient SPECIFIC Autism training to spot the Autism in a diagnosis. And, complains that Autism MOTHERS are STILL being blamed for "causing" their child to have Autism !

I felt this article merited my opinion and commentary -- particularly since Asperger's WOMEN also show a trend of receiving UNTIMELY Autism diagnoses due to GENDER bias. I am re-posting my tweet-out on this here for everyone to ponder.

MY TAKE ON IT AS AN ADULT WOMEN WITH AUTISM

"EquiisSavant @apps4autism The article asks some good questions. But here is what I think from research I have done, & personal experience having Autism

EquiisSavant @apps4autism Yes, Autism is largely seen in Caucasians of European and Jewish Middle Eastern descent -- susceptibility genomes

EquiisSavant @apps4autism But, Hispanics / Latinos get undercounted with Autism bcuz of ignorance of Spanish ancestry Autism genomes.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism For the same reasons Asperger's is not being properly identified for gender-biased reasons in women, ...

EquiisSavant @apps4autism ..Autism is not being properly identified in Hispanics & Latinos due2 cultural bias. There simply is NOT enough Autism training

EquiisSavant @apps4autism This results in women with Autism & Hispanics / Latinos with Autism not getting the help & supports we need.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism You ask, what about Autism in black[s] ? Checking racial categories on US Census is VOLUNTARY.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism There have been generations of interracial births now. Is an interracial child more white or more black ?

EquiisSavant @apps4autism This makes a significant difference, bcuz if you take genomes & migration, black Americans may hav EU Caucasian genes / DNA

EquiisSavant @apps4autism Or, Jewish or European Spanish ancestry. So what you see is not necessarily the genome you get.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism Somalis, for example, do hav an Autism problem ! Ashkenazi settlers at the root of it, from what I hav read.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism We call this Country "The Melting Pot of America" - an interracial mix, that includes Caucasian Autism susceptibility genes.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism But the point of ur article raises an alarming trend of Autism diagnoses being missed bcuz of racial, gender, & cultural biases

EquiisSavant @apps4autism This has a disparate impact on minority communities of women, Jewish descendants, Hispanic/Latinos, & black Americans.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism ONCE AGAIN, we see the only real group making out with timely Autism diagnoses & supports r WHITE AFFLUENT MALES

EquiisSavant @apps4autism This is Wrong- discriminates against, disadvantages, & disempowers minorities with Autism by discriminatory failure to diagnose

EquiisSavant @apps4autism Maybe I should write a blog post about this, bcuz I feel the same pain as a women with Autism as blacks & Hispanics / Latinos.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism The common denominator is the Autism genome susceptibility - not the outward appearances.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism ANY child or adult w/Autism who does not get TIMELY EARLY diagnosis & misses out on needed supports, suffers neurological injury

EquiisSavant @apps4autism The neurological Autism injuries inflicted by UNTIMELY diagnoses & supports occurs without regard to race, ethnicity, or gender

EquiisSavant @apps4autism But the problem is, there is a disparate impact of injury on ALL protected minorities EXCEPT WEALTHY WHITE MALES.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism WHERE hav we heard this age-old story BEFORE ? It pervades the history of our Country.

EquiisSavant @apps4autism And, by the way, you left out Asians -- if you read much, you will also note that China has an Autism problem, too !"

I sincerely hope my commentary will inspire the Autism community to draw together to find ways we as Americans can end the Autism diagnosis disparate impact bias that is inflicting additional neurological injuries on so many people with Autism, destroying lives and families, and bankrupting our Country by increasing the cost of lifetime Autism care and so many lost lives and opportunities.

It DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY !~!!!
