Okay, I have to ask......

What does it mean when the Aspie in your life tells you you are over-thinking things?

Well, if you ask me, I have to ask…

What does it say about the Aspie in your life when he tells you you are over-thinking things?

Goals.
Okay, I’ll try to make this clear, as it is so hard to know the mind of another, especially for some of us.
My goal is to have fun, to enjoy myself, and to do what I can to minimize my suffering and the suffering of others. Along the way, others will attribute all kinds of noble and nefarious motivations to me, all reflections of themselves. All I can do is be the best possible version of me that I can figure out how to be.
:jester:

I was not asking you a question, simply pointing out how you had shifted ground. Secondly, how does the above apply to the current project? Are you at all concerned with reducing the likely suffering entailed to the consumer of the proposed calendar?

Oh, well I'm glad I'm not the only one who's not clear around here, or the only one who misunderstands.

Well, one of my objectives in producing a calendar or even just discussing was that I thought it might be fun.

I'm not sure what that means.

That means boredom and annoyance! That means product gathering dust. That means:
How do we plan on engaging our audience? Indeed, just who is our target market to begin with?

Oh. Okay. Let's try this.
Membership, let's brainstorm a list of ideas to address AA's questions. Please try to keep it short.

We hold up potential customers at gunpoint and demand that they buy a calender. A potential customer is anyone who's in a room by themselves. It's the perfect business model!

1. We could print the calender on rolling paper so users could roll
Cheech & Chong sized joints.

2. We could include a coupon for for FUNYUNS Onion Flavored Rings.

3. We could print serial number cracks of popular software on it.

4. We could make it Scratch & Sniff with smells each aspie hates.

5. We could make it into a text book and bribe a congressman to require
it for all 6th graders.

6. We can print cutout marks and fold marks on it allowing the user to fashion a
make shift tent for camping.

7. We can have a lame contest where you can win $1,000,000

8. We could print phoney SSN cards on it so illegals could get jobs.

9. We could include a map pointing all aspie to goto an island off the
coast of Africa.

10. We could atomize aluminium on the back side allowing the user
to fashion a small solar oven.

These appeals remain somewhat extrinsic when not actually coercive. Corruption in particular, presents certain often daunting social challenges.

You see Aaron, this was why I thought an editorial committee was a good idea. A committee might more reasonably be expected to take this seriously, whereas involving the entire membership at that level may get us nothing more than a good laugh, which might not be such a bad thing. (Like I’m and good judge of what can reasonably be expected!)

Point taken, But only assuming that a committee will deal with issues seriously. And how often does that happen? Unless we are careful, this will only amount to removing the same problem into isolation from transparent public view.

Depends on the character of the committee members.

So that's what Funyuns are!

I've been wondering about that, ever since The Onion had a little headline that went "Funyuns Still Outselling Responsibilityuns".

Perhaps what is more important is an agenda and procedure in pursuit thereof.

The committee’s first responsibility will be to develop submission guidelines. I’d like to suggest something along the lines of “representative of the diversity and capability of aspies and auties and other people with atypical neurology.”

A decision will also have to be made as to who will benefit form the proceeds. If necessary, I’m sure we can start our own foundation.

...but maybe your idea is better.
