wow....i really apologize marshall and to everyone else i might have offended.........i am a very positive person and boy it didnt come easy, i was probably the most negative person here when i was young.one thing i learned about being negative, IT DONT DO A DAM BIT OF GOOD, life can be better lived if one has positive direction no matter how bad it sucks

a little about me;

for the last 20 years i have counseled people on financial matters....i have made such a difference in so many peoples lives as they have done for me................who could ever have thought i would be interacting with so many people in a career..........it was darn hard at first trying to figure people out, then i finally saw that people are fairly simple, nice folks and not too difficult to figure

people have more personal and financial problems than you would ever believe.i have seen everything and every type of person you could imagine.people have opened up to me and told me things that would make a sailor blush, lol..............one gift i have is my beautiful, soothing monotoned voice that puts people at ease and comfort, and it was all learned, but it was inside a little bit too

for the past few years i have been counseling parents of autistics and special needs children..........the emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual burdens of these families are so deep and bewildering. then comes the financial burdens...........OMG, not only do these families suffer from what i said above, but they have to bear BONE CRUSHING FINANCIAL BURDENS that make you cry................f****, i pay $3000 per month in therapy and medical bills for my autistic son...........luckily, i can handle that.but i see so many families headed to bankruptcy...IN A COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT AUTISTICS AND THEIR FAMILIES....AND I AM DAMN F****N MAD ABOUT IT



as far as my op, like i said, half the people on this earth are beautiful towards us, the other half ain't

we must learn to deal with them, learn from them, pity them, and make them look like fools in a gentlemenly way

they ain't goin away, we can do better

all my posts here are only out of love and concern............may you only have pleasant dreams and i thank you

where in my post did i say anything about people with asd's? why do you assume that i was referring only to people with asd's?

when i referred to people i meant people. everybody equally and all of the time. i personally know only 3 self-admitted aspies. all of the rest of the people i know i assume to be nt's unless otherwise informed. even then nobody gets any special treatment unless it is required to compensate for their disability.

are people with asd's disabled? not the ones that i know personally.

the truth is often awful to bear for those who do not accept it.

Since your comments appeared to be barbs directed in response to something written by someone claiming to have an ASD it could easily be assumed that you were addressing that person in a somewhat veiled manner. I can't see any other purpose in the stuff you said in the context of this thread. And I'm the one that's supposed to lack "theory of mind". Since you claim to be NT I'll assume that you were indeed trying to offend and now you're merely attempting to backpedal.


That attitude expressed right there is precisely the reason for all the bitterness around here. The idea that everyone has to work in a way that fits into a neat a little box and anything else is "special treatment". That we should always operate on the social Darwinist model of weeding people out for minor flaws that could easily be accommodated for while ignoring their obvious strengths and abilities. Nobody should do jack sh*t, ever, unless they are forced to by law. And the price of all this is constant mediocrity.

mark and marshal.my thread was not intended for a peeing contest......i thank you for your consideration in advance

Tit for tat serves no other purpose other than to spread hate.

Is your name 'An Autistic mind' a reference to the movie 'a Beautiful Mind' per chance?

this necrothread is 12 years old. but otherwise it is fine.

Yes but nothing like a bit of necromancy to brighten up an otherwise boring day!

indubitably
