| Dear Fellow Aspies, I am finding this a very "cold" social-emotionally time of the year. Does any of you feel the same way? I find people are just cold and unsympathic even apathetic at this time of year. Does any of you feel the same way? I also feel lonely, hopeless and unloved, even in despair at... |

I do-and I am getting very discouraged by it, and it seems resistant to treatment, see my recent post. I not only suffer from insominia, but I suffer from chronic nightmeres too.
I definately believe it has to do in part with my tramatic experiences of how society reponds to me. |

And, call me to live nonviolently with them. This is what keeps me going on this front, despite some of the issues I ha... |

| I just want to comment in defense of what animal rights is trying to accomplish. First, animal rights is ecologically individualistic. Meaning, the lives of individual animals matters. They can't be sacroficed for a greater ecological whole or good. Second, animals are "subjects of a life" meaning a... |

| Do you mean, "Since when, do you think Aspie, do not have equal rights?" Is this what you were asking? If so, in "theory" Aspies have equal rights, but as an Apsie myself, I have not always been treated as a person with equal rights. Over the years I have had to deal with tremendious discrimination,... |
