let trolls hang around
let trolls rejoin
let trolls trap you into answering loaded questions
let trolls take over a thread and change it to suit their own agenda

(Sigh. Please come back, Tallyman, we need you)

Criticize each other and put each other down.

That's what I was thinking. We all have our own issues, likes and dislikes. We also each have our own life histories and stories. Instead of putting each other down, we could learn from one another.

Ok here are 10 things

Post selfies, especially nude selfies
Post 10 reasons why you love Autism Speaks
Answer someone asking for help in the Haven by sharing your own 300 problems
Post any pictures of Kim Kardashian, clothed or not
Go to the PPR forum when you are feeling sad or fragile
Ditto Love and Dating
Post male supremacist stuff in the women's forum
Tell people they "should..." rather than "could"
Ignore a suicidal person

If this site had a Like button, I'd like this response. Those are all very good points. I never really did understand the Kardashians. I also like the point of not going into Love and Dating while feeling sad or fragile.

...tar all NTs with the same brush (assuming they are all dumb, uninteresting and unkind beings)

...think of a random thing about yourself, like having blue eyes, and assuming its to do with having AS

...keep changing the definition of empathy each time a thread comes up about it

I've learned that pretty much like in the NT world, that I should not go on and on about my special interests in every thread that's made. I've also learned that it's a very bad idea to start a thread asking if everyone thinks that my special interests are unusual for WP. I did that two years ago during the Easter long weekend and I still regret it to this day. I've also learned that it's better to be myself than it is to hide behind masks. My two famous masks of the past are The Nerd ad The Punk Rocker. At first, I wanted to impress everyone by proving my intelligence. After a few years, I wanted to show people how tough I could be if things don't go my way. I just be myself now. I have been doing that for five years and I've learned that I have a very rich personality just being myself - Kinks Fan as some old lady said to her friend a couple of summers ago. They were both talking about the changes I've made to suit myself as I walked past them.

I made the mistake of doing that five years ago this spring about some ableist jerk I had to deal with on a Friday the 13th. Most of the people in that thread took the jerk's side and I got no support whatsoever. I haven't started too many threads in The Haven since than.

That is the whole purpose of that forum, if people are getting put down there that should be reported to moderators. Where to post on here when feeling down than anyways? if not the forum specifically for it.

What not to do:
-Make fun of peoples special interests.
-Assume people with autism have no empathy
-Assume all people with autism are the same
-Assume everyone who has only self diagnoses(and even acknowldedges its not official) came to that conclusion based on one article or one document about autism, or because they are slightly socially akward or other silly things.
Not 10 things but figured I'd try and come up with something.

I also like that list. There are too many people who presume these things.

Don't speak so matter-of-factly. For almost every "fact", there's a counter-fact.

- start a cheerleading squad.

feh! all been broken and a good thing too

no literal cheerleading squads but squads of people do often cheer on posters who are in the midst of accomplishing something

group hugs are common in The Haven and that is a good thing

WP itself ranks posters hierarchically (whether by length of time here or post count, I'm not sure which) and assigns bird rankings
