"WE"????????????????

Did WE all agree to not use the word "we". I don't remember THAT!

:lol:

I think he means that people say things like, "We all agreed on this", without him actually agreeing on it.

No, it doesn't usually bother me, and I do it too.

Honestly, it only tends to bother me in a place like this in reference to autism. "We need X!" "We don't need Y!" What a load of crap. Don't speak for me. It's made me loathe to even think there is a "we" there and has pushed me even farther away from considering autism part of my identity rather than a sort of tumor that's grown on it.

When someone who just recently found out about Aspergers on the internet, going on about "we" this and "us" that. Usually in a tirade about "NT's". Just seems a tad presumptuous sometimes.


I know, right?
