Hello, everybody! I'm Back! I registered last year, but I disappeared after a while. During that time I've learned a lot for I am now fully self-aware and can now at least try to really understand the world around me. However, something has been troubling me lately. PREJUDICE!! I have no understanding toward prejudice on any level whatsoever. Whether it be gender, race, religion or whatever. The one prejudice that REALLY bothers me is the one against people who have disabilities, especially us on the autistic spectrum. Not to mention the fact they seem to lump us all together like we are all the same even though we know that is not true.

Welcome to the club. I recognize prejudice (usually) but do not understand why anyone would be prejudice myself (I think I am at least a fairly to very tolerant individual). When I sound otherwise it is usually unintentional due to issues w/ expressing myself. I sympathize most w/ those who are disabled, but have seen other forms of prejudice. I HATE any prejudice!

I checked around and I think you have me confused with someone else, but thanks anyway.

I feel that way about it too. I know what I want but I have difficulty expressing it.
