I troll by accident. I say something I think is logical and fine, then I get hated for it.

I don't think Aspies are into it any more or less than NT's, But it seems to be such a broad word, trolling.

Apparently defending my having Asperger's and other people with it in general makes me a troll. Saying there is nothing wrong with someone my age having interests in toys, video games, and "kid's" cartoons makes me a troll. Being offended by hate speech, sexism. racism, eating, sleeping, breathing, telling the truth and being honest makes me a troll.

So where's my bridge?

What sort of trolling?

I have trolled nothing beyond a bit of satire/sarcasm, or trolling trolls however.

That is the very definition of doing something for a reaction. That's all trolling is - stirring people up for the cruel enjoyment of seeing them get upset.

Frankly, I can't imagine why autistic people with little concern for common emotional drama would enjoy doing something like that. Trolling is the behavior of a sociopath.

Sarcasm, OTOH, I do not consider trolling. Sarcasm is a form of humor, though it might be misinterpreted as trolling sometimes, by those who don't recognize that its just a joke.

Ridiculous assertion. Aspies are no more or less inclined to troll than any other human being.

Quite the contrary, I'm most interested in fostering consensus!
