| Hi ShadesOfMe, I'm sorry you are hurting. I say this next statement just to present a fact. The kids you encountered were feeling insecure. They were simply venting their insecurities. The fact is, they would have responded in that way to anyone who was in your place. Some of them may be feeling jus... |

| Hi again angelgirl, Well, I was commenting using a concept often presented in sci-fi stories; the concept of an alternate reality. In literature, an alternate reality is a place where people's places are reversed as compared to the reality that we ourselves are supposed to know. By the way, I am hap... |

Hi angelgirl,
Perhaps I can clarify the things I have written for you. What exactly have I written that confuses you?
I need you to be more specific.

Hi 2ukenkerl,
Wow! You've rendered me speechless with that one! That is one for the books, my friend.

Hi again guys,
My mistake. When I said "if an NT joined us on this board, it could provide some useful information", the "it" I was referring to was the situation, not an NT person themselves.
Hopefully, I caught this situation before it snowballed.

| Hi guys, I do agree that no one should be made to act like a salesperson when it comes to getting along with NTs in any way, shape or form. But on the other hand, I don't think it works to try to yank their chains when trying to get attention, either. Maybe if an NT joined us on this board, it could... |

| Hi 2ukenkerl, Since most of we AS people are men (as am I), I suppose we just have to keep the faith when it comes to things like dating and marriage. I for one know I will be OK if I never get married. The best thing I know to do with women is to offer them compliments, and not be worried if they d... |

Hi Mw99,
I'm confused by your statement. When you say the human race would have extinguished, do you mean we would have become physically extinct like the dinosaurs?
Or do you mean chaos would have reigned over all living human beings 24/7?

| Hi SeaBright, Thank you for your reply. I think I agree with you that the NT world IS in fact the exact definition of autism. Perhaps that is indeed what I meant. I am not suggesting that all NT people are evil. I am simply saying that when it comes to establishing a world order, they seem to be wan... |

| Hi there, I agree with you. I basically divide TV and movie characters into two groups: The nice ones and the evil ones. In this black-and-white format, I basically say the nice ones are here for us and the evil ones have to be led out. A nice character always lends a listening ear to literally ever... |

| Hi Neuromancer, Thank you for writing back. Maybe you're right. Maybe a whole AS country could get a little out of sorts. I've just posted messages on another site, and it taught me how amazing it is that people can take messages of any type out of context. If NT people can take things out of contex... |

| Hi neuromancer, Thank you for reading. I didn't realize English was spoken in your country of Brazil. I think I have just said something I needed to say for a long time. Sometimes I wonder if we AS people should start a country of our own. I don't dislike NT people. My own two parents are NT people!... |

I think I started this thread because I'm trying to figure out how to tell my mom my plans. I want to go to the Solair Recreation League this summer.... |
