Aspies aren't the selfish ones

ya meltdown never is "right" state of mind. it so happens. u got it better now, good for that.
and ya autistic are about 7%, totally not 20% anywhere (unless its a guild somewhere in a game, made for nd ppl. like by me xD then we might have more than 20% autists, plus other situations, ya). so, we are an elaborate minority, and our needs are, very sadly, under-advertized. i do what i can to educate ppl i meet on that stuff. to make at least 1 pocket of cyberspace more nd-friendly. i can only be as real as i can. and yes, i also can meltdown, and mine are frequent and violent. some people know how to deal with it, how to even stop me. some people can never forgive me, having seen just a pre-phase just once. f**k those people. point is, without mass education nobody can f*****g guess. they see a shy, compliant and clearly insecure person and they think they can push that around. and are never ready for a violent reaction. even if warned, some cases. and it will never end before they are not taught at school, or better kindersgarten, what autism really means. which hardly gonna happen in this century

I know some Aspies who are pretty damn selfish.

Yeah, serpentari, that's why I avoid places but I can't be a recluse. I wouldn't go to a regular theatre unless it was autism friendly night. But a museum isn't highly lit. So without the stupid cameras it would be ok.
I love (specialist interest) my football and can't go anymore because of the lights and light shows. I told the disability woman this and she said she'd get in touch with the epilepsy people and the autism people but she didn't or her voice wasn't heard by those in charge of the stadium.
I've been a recluse for 5 years, never leaving my house except to walk in a field, but it's no way to live.

i'd say recluse is pretty okay way to live ^^ i cand deal with having to go somewhere if i have to, but if i dont, i enjoy my nook. i like it here ^^

True I guess but I moved house so that I didn't have to stay in all the time.
And my version of not staying in all the time is buying groceries, going to museums, stuff like that. And my default as an aspie is doing that stuff. It's just I had social anxiety and didn't want to talk to anyone but mum and my cat. (I had a breakdown because of brain chemicals and also because everyone around me was horrible).

i am buying my groceries, taking my kid to kindersgarten, taking her for strolls, taking her to doctors, museums and alldatstuff. nesessities ya. but left to my devices, thats where i am xd btw, flash photo usually is against rules in most museums ^^
