Aspergers Right to Respect

We believe that sufferers of Aspergers Syndrome deserve and are entitled to have their perceptions and thought patterns recognised in the Australian Legal System. We object to the decision of April 22, 2004 by Magistrate Phipps in the Australian Federal Magistrates Court to strike out the charge of harassment by Aspergers sufferer Philip Gluyas as frivolous, as we believe as Philip does that such a decision renders the Disability Discrimination Act useless to sufferers of Aspergers Syndrome who have been treated with contempt and have had their needs in the work place ignored. We ask that an Aspergers sufferers view of what constitutes harassment and discrimination be recognised and accepted as a legal definition of such.
