I wonder what the outcome will be. I bet we will win this one, as we have better knowledge than they do. Plus, we don't commit crimes, because they are not worth it.

If you mean a war then i think the Chavs would win because from the anecdotal evidence ive heard it seems to be the chavs bullying the aspie/auties and not the other way round. I however would be your one saving grace and folk hero amongst you if war were to break out because im a warrior.

I know some people who go to my school who are like full on hard, but they can't be tough enough anyway. If they want to be tough, just make them join the army or something. But hey, they don't have a clue at what an ASBO is.

Here is an interesting read I stumbled across: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4144840.stm

Saying people with AS do not commit crimes is a bit of a stereotype, don't you think?

For the bloody 'Mer'cans here, can anyone say what chavs and townies are?

As far as I know, townies are what college students in college towns call the local residents who have lived in that town all their life.

It's hardly likely for an aspie to be a chav though, is it. Chavs by their nature are loud twats.

There is an urban working class section of the population in many of our Cities who are designated (by some), as 'Chavs'. The term is believed to derive from the expression 'Chatham Average'; Chatham being a small town in Kent in South East England.

They are associated with certain dress style - in this case Leisure/Sports Wear, with brands such as Reebok, Nike, Adidas and son on featuring prominently. They are also associated with excessive (though often cheap) gold jewellery and a certain mock-Tartan called Burberry. All manner of negative stereotypes are applied to them and I suspect that the term arose among some sections of the middle classes, in order to distance themselves from the poorer elements in society.

I think it is basically Class snobbery under a different guise.
