You probably don't see what it looks like when you're in it but that is what it does look like

That's what I'm saying anyway and denying it just makes you part of the problem

And if it walks like a duck...

My limbic system's fancying ideas VS the rational reality.

I understand feeling disappointed; for losing a prospect companion of my developmental road.

My rational mind knew already all about this and respects it -- but the inner child is clingy... :|

'It' doesn't want to be 'alone', wanting the prospect of a companion who gets her, who resonates with her.

I already knew no one will, only that it's luck.
And I already knew the type of people who never will be.

But the inner child doesn't care; it wants this person; who has the been staunch on the opposing views, to have the same thing going.

I kept telling it, no. This person is not whatever you're fancying. Please stop.
Yes, you can be with this person and continue this relationship but please -- stop expecting that this person will get it in ways you expect.

'It' has to reconcile the fact that it'll be just like my mom... :? All that trust, all that expectations this inner child has -- it's not how it goes and I already knew this.

With apologies for further derailing this thread.
Any further responses should be via PM.


Let's see if I've got this right: standing up for oneself is Ok even when that results (as it did here) in the thread being extended by some 10 pages of off-topic trolling, attacks, drama and discussion of banned members - in The Haven.
Even when suspicions about the troll were reported by members - who then continued contributing to the drama.
Even though several posts were reported by alarmed members not taking any part in the thread.

Gotcha.

Malcontents pop up here regularly - some just can't let things go.
Engaging with them validates their trolling and provides fuel to keep it going.
WP members are not obliged to, and should not, provide some sort of imagined service by helping them work through their butthurt - the purpose of troll accounts is... to troll WP.

They're posting nasty things about someone here? Why yes, that's what they do.
Recognize, report, and even label it as trolling if you really must - then let it go.
Don't help provide space on our forums so they can do it some more.

It really can't be made any clearer: do not feed the trolls.
Starve them of publicity.

Most often folks appear to be coming to false conclusions based on insufficient evidence and personal bias.

If people have misperceptions about me and/or my relationships, I am going to set them straight. When former members claim that people are in cliques, they often have ulterior motives in mind. Their goal has been to dismiss and invalidate people's concerns about their poor behavior. Then, when they make public claims, they can lead others to similarly erroneous conclusions. People are free to think what they want to, but if they say or promote such a conclusion about me, they are going to receive pushback because it isn't true.

You mean, besides our shadowy cabal.

Which everyone knows exists because we're friendly and make jokes together and that's all the evidence needed to prove posters are part of a clique. 8)


That's right.

I shall see you in the designated park at 16:00, and we shall start our meeting with a particular handshake. :wink:

Also I think we have to be respectful of the fact that for some people with autism cliques have been a problem for them in life and so they might just naturally be on the look out for them

I think these people need to be made to feel safe and not stupid for thinking that this type of thing is going on

Denying that you're part of a clique or denying that they happen isn't enough to help them feel safe

And this is a support forum for people with autism


These are good points bb.

I think for a lot of autistic folk, being left out and feeling alienated is often the norm', so when potentially alienated members see other members regularly being chummy with each other, whilst they are ignored or even disliked, it might bring back familiar feelings of rejection from real life.

On the topic of socially selective posting.... I rarely respond to Edna, because I have difficulty comprehending her posts for whatever reason. But I do read them sometimes.

Hello, Edna. :heart:

Hello. :twisted:

Tis fine.
Am accustomed to people who may not understand any of my verbal expressions; written or spoken... :lol:


Not because English is my second language (I'm somehow a bit worse writing with my native language) -- but because language itself is my weakness and how I use them always feel unnatural. :P

Doesn't stop me from posting frequently and writing wall of texts tho. :lol:

I always look at your posts as if each ones a little piece of the workings of your brain

Sometimes it's hard to fathom but it's all in working order

I'm just really upset right now. Had a meltdown. I got really mad and started shouting at people. They told me to calm down. I can't just calm down. Then I cried a lot. Now I feel out of it and still revved up. Yet I'm so anxious I.havent moved for 3 hrs. I don't.want to go for a walk! I don't want to leave the house. I don't want to talk about it. Don't call me unreasonable! It's difficult for me. Sure it may be easy for them to regulate emotions cause they can understand them. I only understand happy and sad and angry. I also have mood swings which are unpredictable even to me. I wish they'd understand.

I'm tired of being called immature. I might be but it doesn't help. Also don't tell me to be quiet when I'm talking to myself to process what I'm doing. I'm not doing it for you to hear. It's for me to regulate myself. I want to be alone.
