It's a quote from Thomas Jefferson, one of the Founding Fathers. I felt it expressed my political views well.

The quote about success in my sig is something I read not long after my bad horseback riding accident.
I broke 7-10 ribs and 3 vertebrae in my back. I was sure I was never riding again. Then I saw that.

The other part is self-explanatory.

I state that my son has autism. Otherwise, people would wonder why I visit these forums.

I put my website down because I want people to visit my website.

My signature and ranking also shows everyone what my true colours and I shouldn't have to try to prove my true colours to anybody on WP. People should just believe what those two things about me instead of thinking that Mick Avory is getting in their way of knowing me. My signature and ranking speak the honest truth about my true nature and appearance. Maybe people will stop attacking me now realizing that I truly am a gentle and sensitive, brown-eyed member.

Mine is a line from George Michael's song "Careless Whisper" that has been slightly modified. The original line is "I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm."

I came up with this one the same day I made an account; I thought it was pretty clever. It's also pretty accurate, my brain has perfect rhythm but my feet just can't seem to translate it.

The first line I came up with after I tried to join a social group for young people with Asperger's in Fall 2007. This is the short version. The group was advertised as a place where People with Asperger's could make friends and have fun. But it turned out to be about four so-called "social skills" that the group focused on. They were all really about conforming, but the one that bothered me the most was "ability to let go." I thought about all the times that my teachers had injusticed me, my parents' continuing supression of all emotion in the family, terrible things I'd read in the news that were happening in the world, and therapists who'd quashed me when they were supposed to be advocating for me. Now, I could easily let go of my anger and resign myself to a lifetime of this crud.
...Or I could come up with the courage to do something about it, and demand that it stop. I could confront my parents, write letters to legislators, start or join a relevant organization, and do public speaking. I want to do that stuff someday.

The second line is closely related to the first. Instead of the people of this world who are psychologically abusing the kids they are supposed to look out for, putting chemical additives in everything despite little evidence of their safety, forcing workers into long hours, starting wars for no good reason, and building cell phone towers and high-tension power lines right over our homes being singled out as "mentally ill," I am being scapegoated as "mentally ill" by society for worrying about these things and reacting to them!

(Mods, please watch this thread and if it does well, consider giving it a sticky.)

i wrote a blog with a story that's based on real events, things that actually happened to me, except it's happening to a girl in a fictional town where everyone are intolerant and demands everyone acts the same and join the crowd or else, and the girl's parents give her hell for being different. they try to force her to make friends and mock her and get on her nerves.
also, there's this macho cop's teenage son who climbs on the hills surrounding the ignorant town and finds a bunch of ETs with blank faces, dull voices and a zillion confusing rules that contradict each other.
he must befriend them in order to study them, so he'll find out if they're a menace to society and he must report them to the authorities. a jealous and hotheaded alien girl falls in love with him and he keeps getting in trouble for not understanding the aliens' ways and offending them unintentionlly.
i put the first pages of the story in the blog.

Just a few quotes I enjoy and find very relevant or inspiring

Some lyrics from Moody Blues: Melancholy man. I love this song in general, and it somehow reflect to how see the world. I really think that we are growing, all of us, learning to understand each others, and I'm being kind of positive about everything, yet melancholic. Seeing things others don't see. Also like the word AStounds :D All the world really astounds me. Everyday is an adventure if you're having asperger.

And there is also a disclaimer due to my horrible English. XD

Mine are from songs. Right now, it's a line from "Hand in my Pocket" by Alannise Morrisette. It's a good song, very optimistic, gets me in a good mood.

I've seen and heard the quote all my life, but it applies to the way my mind works. I went through a phase of self discovery in recent years and found out that I am a simple person. I can't handle a lot of details or complexity, I always take the simple, straightforward approach to things. Like, with "yes or no" questions, I don't want the reasons why the answer is one or the other, I just want the friggin' answer. There is much more to it than that, it's so simple, it's complicated. :lol:
