I Love Aspie

Yeah, I think he is AS, have to wait and see. If the local authority dx him as AS, they have to provide funding for his educational needs etc. Sound familiar anyone?

You can have my AS when you pry it from my cold dead hand.

I think it a mutation, when processing power reaches a level, the brain flower starts opening. NTs will breed the troops. The problem is raising them. Most of us became damaged goods on the way up.

A longer childhood, inability to socialize, social demands, self directed learning, will not be the problems they have been in the future.

That is, once we stop flapping our hands and start our own colonies. All Hail Alex! Sixty years and suddenly I know I am not the only one. It would seem there should have been a notice in the newspaper, or a mention in a science fiction story, but no, I went through life alone.

I see a lot of Dinos like me here. One against the humans and they made it. AS was not the main problem, it was family, educational systems, peers, a lot for one person to retrain, but we did it. Aspie Power! I am still overcoming to get to the application phase. I can do things that few can.

My world did not understand me, could not, did not have the tools, and from their point of view there was something wrong with me. Now I watch the kiddies here. They have a very different world. Their families and educational systems were trained. The mutation is becoming more common. They have less problem areas, and so do better with peers. Then there is WP, All Hail Alex!

Survival was my main issue. It has always been in doubt. Somehow I still managed to educate myself. It took forever. We have a much greater range and processing power than the common folk. We do not have to win by numbers. Everything about the future is hard for them, and easy for us. What can one aspie do? Well there is, Gates Syndrome.

When I was young there were times when I wished to be like everyone, just enough to get them to go away. That passed, I have no desire to be mainstream. I want to go away. WP is a great start. Just knowing frees me. A life of, let me out of this, has recently changed to, I want to goto, Wp because it is so addictive, others, for I have never had others, a WP colony where I can be me, without spending half my time holding the world at bay.

Us Dinos carry a lot of scar tissue. The world may have changed, but we remember everything. The fight has been long, and old age comes. We cannot join the kiddie's world. Many of them can live in both worlds, they may find a comfortable place in the world. The needs I feel, a place to retire where I do not have to carry a pipe with me to live in peace in my old age, a place where my life and work can proceed without constant threats, is my goal.

I am driven by the evil of the world, it will not be the first thing I have overcome. Now I dare to dream. What about four chips on the mother board, what about a hundred? Alone, I depended on my strengths, I do have weaknesses. With just a few others the range would be awesome. Others, a new concept for me.

Sixty years does give an overview of what works. Even in small groups we would shake the world. It is ours, it cannot be copied, the world is blind to our talents. We now have a self identity, a group identity, All Hail Alex!

Now we need a colony and an economy. We need a Matrix of our own. Just a few linking will be like my brain. Slow to start, learning the true order of things, putting the puzzle together one piece at a time, slower to mature, but then with a cluster of perfect order. Stored energy, that is then applied to new problems. Now my I/O is very fast. What took years now takes days.

My world within wants a world without, a place with others, where others are not a problem, as they have been, but a help and an inspiration. I will find my isolated place, but I would share it with others. It is not like I would hold hands with you or anything. I want to live in a village of hermits.

There are some connections by function that may seem social. I do publish books and prints, and market to the world. Artists might find me useful. I do support a community tool shop. More export goods, and a place to develop inventions. Aspie identity is new, that there are others is new, and a colony is the next step. I am socially blind, I am sure it goes beyond NTs. Each aspie seems to me a unique creation.

What common themes I see are Dino. Hardly grown and facing retirement. A place that is warm and comfortable for the remaining years. From my own path I would think the best years for being an aspie would be after sixty. I feel I am just starting. Am I alone again in my thinking? Are there others who consider where they will live when they are 70, and think it time for the world to adapt to them.

Yes, it gives you a different perspective on life I think. I enjoy being different and I wouldn't change myself for the world.

Oh! Inventor!

I come along and make my cold scientific dream statements (and giggle a little, because life is fun), and then you turn us into poetry.

I don't read poetry.

I read you.

Where will I be in twenty years? A mystery. One I intend to solve (and play with).

May I join you, alone apart, together in our community of separate hermitages?

All hail Alex!

Maybe we can figure out how to do the physical things mentally.

Pardon me. I was celebrating my own realisation in 'our' differences from the NT world. No offence intended.

Ain't Aspiness Wunnerful ??

Just kidding? Damn, I thought I had a new recruit....

As to the 6 children a year, the post only said less than. That seems reasonable.
