2 of the original cases of medical abuse, exposed when SF began, were by the groups GFCF-Kids-UK and HE-Special-UK advertised in the Jacksons' books. The totally un-aspie vicious group psychology and thought control in those groups, which can still be read about on SF, made lies of all the social ideals for aspies that the Jacksons had been writing about, but the Jacksons were entirely free to make the right moral choice, to disown those groups and have them urgently removed from their books. If they had done that, they would have come out entirely clean, not tainted at all by the groups' hate violations. But they never did. For 5 years now, they have maintained an arrogant cynical ignorement of the problem, exploiting the public and leaving them vulnerable to hate abuse in places claimed to be supportive.
Now, Luke Jackson is proposing to open a forum on his own website, as if there weren't enough forums already - but seems to be lacking in support so is having to spend time inviting notifications of interest first. Anyone wise will ask for a watertight commitment in the forum's legal terms, to tie itself to the same standard of personal fairness as is expressed in SF's introduction, and not to have the same standards and GFCF-Kids-UK and HE-special-UK. This necessarily means taking an absolute committal position to explicitly denounce as a medical wrong those groups' actions.
Because of the history of association with those 2 groups, this simple caring action is what Luke needs to do to make his own forum ethical and emotionally safe for anyone who thinks of joining it. If he chooses to do it, it will show it would never have hurt to do it sooner, at any time in the last 5 years !!
