Since posting 3 chapters of my book on my autism and being scapegoated, I’ve been deluged with questions. And that’s a good
thing.

Some people are not sure, most feel fairly certain they are not on the autism or Asperger’s spectrum; a few feel they may be
and are getting tested. That is good too.

I’m starting the book as “a novice”. No, not a novice at being scapegoated or having autism…have had that all my life (for 60 years).

But I only discovered both through the help of some very experienced professionals; I could never have figured that out on my own; though I was able to finally put all the pieces together with the help of some very insightful professionals with over 100 years experience in this area of work.

So there are plenty of answers of which I don’t have the answers (at this point) though I plan to study it for the rest of my life and learn
as much as possible and I promise to share any and all pertinent information that may be helpful.

Nobody, under any circumstances should endure scapegoating, and to scapegoat a disabled person is absolutely unconscionable facilitated
only by the most nefarious characters among us.

Funny thing. The Brother’s Grimm in the early 1800’s had great insight on scapegoating and/or NPD (narcissism personality disorder). Most of their children’s literature covered such topics. They deemed it important to write it in a format that both parents (reading to their children) and children could understand it, and, if their family dynamics were already in the middle of narcissistic parentel destruction, they could recognize it and get help. The Brothers Grimm knew only a few would, but even if it were only a few, consider the amount of suffering that would be avoided.

Fast forward several centuries. A novice filmmaker named Walt Disney also considered that topic high on the list of important educational topics. One of his first films “Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs” (1937) was based on the same Brothers Grimm book and covered the topic of NPD disorder and in a way that both the layman, the child and the parents could understand it. Knowing most NPD families are in total denial (for a lifetime), Disney also knew this important message may only help but a few suffering families. But to him, a few was a lot better than none. It meant lifetimes of avoiding needless suffering (of children who later became adults).

Here is a list of other popular films from Arthur to Wall Street to A Streetcar Named Desire…that all dealt with NPD disorder and scapegoating.   Another one, highly recommended but not listed on Wiki is “Gaslight” which won numerous awards.  It is creepy though and very difficult to watch, but clearly explains some of the “crazy-making” in more extreme narcissistic/scapegoating cases.

I recommend to rent these films on Netflix or Amazon for a few dollars. They can much more clearly explain scapegoating and NPD disorder than I can. As I stated, as I write this blog I am still new at “knowing” this is my story.

Where does the autism fit in? That’s complicated in that the autistic child (and later adult) already has developmental issues. When parents, siblings and the community scapegoat that autistic child, it can be lethal. Fortunately for me, God was apparently looking after me. I wanted to improve. I longed to improve my life. And I kept my faith.

If I can do that, anyone can. More to come. If you suspect NPD disorder occurred in your family, chances are there are still “Flying Monkeys”
in your stratosphere.

There are now ways (legally if need be) to keep them at bay. I strongly suggest a webinar by the Autistic Network. By clicking the image below that says “IPMG” you can register for free.  It is important, and will educate you on your rights, and make your life a lot easier.  I’m looking very forward to it as is my beloved wife Lee.

And though this webinar is targeted toward persons with autism and/or Asperger’s, it will be helpful to anyone with a disability. One of
the main focuses is going to be knowing your rights (and what to expect from the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) which is part of the
Department Of Justice.

They are not only interested in your disabilities, but your rights if anyone (whether they be family, friends, strangers, groups, lawyers, you
name it, they want to know) if you are being injured,  stalked, or harmed in any way by anyone(s).

If you were raised with an un-diagnosed congenital disability, chances are very good you were scapegoated, still are, and there are “flying monkeys” in your life. Groups like this offer you resources and protection.  You only deserve the best. You’ve seen the parts of life that nobody should have to see.  It’s your turn to enjoy your life with no sociopathic interruptions.  Don’t just “want it”, “Demand It”.  You deserve the best. You always did.
