Excuse me ma'am, mister! May I interrupt your BORING conversation. Helen and I have joined Aspies For Freedom. We saw your thread there, morning_after. It was excellent, on how aspies are relaxed and social in aspie support meetups.

Richie ....splutter.....swallow.... My place is in the kitchen!! !! I'll be chasing you around the kitchen with my rolling pin. I won't be able to catch you but I'm a mean shot!! !! !

Not so gentle BenX topic

Sorry, everyone. I did not get back to the cafe right away because my computer crashed. I fixed the problems then I had to go shopping.

Sinsboldly got the word out about BenX in the General Autism Discussion. Thanks, Lemon. Sounds interesting.

i don't know what you mean?

yeah merle, i hadn't noticed myself, cause i had not said it out aloud but i might sound like '(Ik) ben niks' (literaly ik=I, ben=are, niks=niets=nothing)

The rolling pin, Richie, is for me to throw at you because you said my place was in the kitchen!

:oops: It was Morning_after who said a woman's p;ace is in the kitchen! Sorry Richie

....starts throwing rolling pins at Morning_after because she would never catch him!

Dear Lemon: You posted a video about BenX. I watched it and was going to tell others. Then my computer crashed. I fixed it and was going to post but then i had to go shopping.

When I got back Sinsboldly got the word out about this movie. Then today I logged on here and found a whole bunch pff stuff about AFF and then your post that you quoted me and said you did not know what I meant so I am writing back to tell you what I meant!

Whew.

Comprende?

Thank you for posting the video.

Hi Kaleido! Being NT, I find Aspie For Freedom intimidating because of intellectual slant.

Do you know any of the London aspies? My daughter Smelena met some of them in January.

For those of you who are used to living in an aspie type household. I have a secret to share- a household of aspies is exhausting. Two boys have to share stragegies for hours when they are playing Age of Empires, and Ubby3 has to report to me every so often about the latest development. Youngest Liam has long monologues too and HAS to go to the beach NOW!

Helen is changing to aspie before my eyes. SHe has a perseveration at the moment - making alternate movies for U tube to reply to a certain group - a powerful lobby group that SPEAKS for others. Or she is in frenetic activity riding bikes with the boys, rowing with the boys, swimming with the boys .

I have 3 sons but have gained a daughter this holiday .... my mother! Can't she just entertain herself??

This is my first attempt at using Windows MovieMaker .... a bit of Autism Advocacy:

Helen

I'm not proud or anything but have you seen this yet?

You are all surfacing but I must go to bed,

Yea She still talks about meeting you. Lau was the other member. If she had to pay $10 000 she would send her boys to any school that Lau was at .... (she says )

I lurked at AFF for a while - I think it was a couple years back, but the past and I are mere nodding acquaintances. At the time, at least, the tone was a tad strident for me (made the worst NT-bashers around here seem calm and reasonable!). Have they settled down over there? Might give 'em another shot, if so.

Not sure since I only rarely lurked there last year so no idea what they were like before. I will let you know since I am revisiting this week.

AFF have been around for a while. I used to bounce in there now and then, a couple of years (maybe longer?) ago. But there was too much drama, too much angst. I have enough of that IRL, so I kindof quit going there.

Do sometimes still pop in on the IRC channel there, though. Not often.
