Not really. He couldn't do perspective at all well.


All the more reason to say autistic.

Isn't there already several threads asking if Hitler was Autistic/Asperger's?

If you asked Hitler he probably would have replied "no."

Sorry if there were already lots of threads about this...I haven't been here in years, so I don't know. I just wanted to know what you guys thought because I recently learned about these experts' opinions.

Ridiculous assertion. I do perspective exceedingly well.

Yes it did. The person, I think, was saying that since Hitler would have killed autistic people, then--had he been autistic himself--he would not have fit into his own idea of perfection.

Not necessarily force, but not necessarily choice either. Sometimes people do not like to choose to leave when they are being attacked.

This is a good point.

Well, duh.
I was saying that "That couldn't possibly be true" and the sentence after it made no sense in the context of arguing against an autism diagnosis. He had power. He and his Party could do practically whatever they wanted (as seen by, well, what they did), including acts of total hypocrisy and the like.
Of course he wouldn't fit into his own "society"; if he weren't the one in power, he definitely wouldn't.

How else would you be attacked if you didn't post in the first place?

Well then you should have said that--instead of saying "duh" to me. I am not a mind reader and I take "this makes no sense" with no further explanation to mean "this makes no sense".

What are you talking about? Not everyone who posts on here deserves to be attacked. I guess since all my opinions suck though, I MUST be asking for it!

I know they don't; if you want to lower your risks of attack, though, you could just avoid posting in controversial threads... like a thread on an ASD forum about whether or not one of the most evil men in recent history had an ASD, for instance. The opinions will basically be split half and half, figuratively speaking; it wouldn't be one of those happy little threads where practically everyone agrees with each other. There will be some words exchanged and some clashing opinions, and thus a very high risk of "attack", whatever that means.

I was NOT the one who posted the controversial comment. I was also NOT the only one who responded to the controversial comment. I was the only one who was repeatedly attacked.

With that mentality, virtually no one will have any sympathy regarding the "attacks" you have received. (I put the term in quotation marks because I have not read through that entire thread and have no real desire to.) If they bother you so much, why do you persist in posting where they're occurring or likely to occur?
