Do you think that Elitism is a problem in the WP community?

You had a rough child hood but you are obviously intelligent, probably good looking and you have, at least, one person who cares about you. That's more than what a lot of people have.

come on everyone lets just get along.

This is a support site, so lets support each other.

autism is a spectrum disorder and some of us are more capable then others.

some of us have businesses and some of us are on disability.

I'm so happy for the people who can run a business! But be nice to the little people.

Someones problem may seem small to you but you do not know what they are going through.

There is a quote I live by, "even the very wise cannot see all ends".

My point is we need to treat each other with dignity and respect.

so lets all get along.

After all this site is a wonderful place. Can we keep it that way?

Sometimes people on the spectrum appear to be rather harsh on others because autistics in general are pretty thick skinned and insults or ridicule really don't bother us very much so we aren't aware of how sensitive and emotional normal people can be.

Actually, this really isn't a support site. It's a site where people like Wander Man and TheDoctor82 get together and try to make it sound like they are great and people with problems bring it all on themselves. That is not "support".
It is a support site sometimes, I'll give it that.

I partially understand, but don't forget...I was once considered one of the "little people", and if I can lift myself up further than that, so can all of you, which I keep trying to explain.


And personally, I think you're more likely to do it than most NTs can

Gee, where's a platitude when I need one?

Hey now that's unfair! I am totally here to support, didn't you read ANY of my other posts?

I agree with Doctor that sometimes it is important to push ourselves. Feeling sorry for ourselves can become a self defeating trap.

BUT I didn't say that I don't understand your point. I get what ou're saying. Some people are born with different problems than others. Just because Dr for example is able to achieve what he wants does not mean that some one in a different situation could do the same thing. it's a difficult balancing act. we all want to live up to our potential, but we're not sure what that potential is.

I very much want this site to be a place for support, I hope you won't be so quick to judge me.

Honestly, I don't disclose many specific encounters and experiences in print for a reason. I've had it backfire on me, more than I would have liked. And honestly, I'm starting to regret that I even posted the few things that I have. I'll just go back to my solitary (vague) abyss and find mental solace in relating to symptoms posted here.

Like others have said, I have other things going on to worry about. And you probably just don't know me.

Well thank you I am trying . I have gotten out of an abusive home and am pulling myself up slowly.

The response you gave me was very supportive! If you can respond to others that way I think you'll get a much better reaction.

Its up to each of us to support each other.

If you feel a member is being rude then tell a mod.

I'm so sorry that you have had encounters that made you feel bullied, I hope you have a better time on this site in the future.

Okay you talked me into it I'm going to be blunt and honest. Judging by this thread and a few others, you have to be really careful about what you post on here. How can this be called a support site when what you post gets used against you. I would be extremely wary of what I posted here...and have been. With good reason, looks like.

Yeah, you're right. When I first came a here a few weeks ago, I was looking for a support site. I WANT this to be a support site where people try to focus on finding solutions to their problems.

But so far, there seem to be a lot of jerks lurking who are jsut waiting for a chance ot insult people. not cool.

btw, again I really hope you do not see me as one of the bullies. i do not understand how that happened.

I was trying to demonstrate the common ground between you and doctor. You both had good points to make, although he was being kinda rude about it.

I little birdie just reminded me that some people posting into this thread a few others opened tonight have never bothered to properly introduce themselves in the Getting to know each other section or posted a picture or a vid in the pic and vid sections and that seems very rude to just come barging in when we don't know you very well yet.

No hard feelings, Wander Man, it's cool.

So you are seconding the motion?

Which is it, that the OP is a JERK for calling everyone elitist Nazis who harrass and ridicule everyone that comes to this site?

Or mentioning that even here, when people come in with such hateful rants they will be called on it?

The only problem I see with the OP is in launching an attack on this site.

I am trying to help them, and their sock puppet.

What we have here is two accounts that have not been very active, launching an attack. Isn't the word for that Trolling?

"When Inventor called the OP a "loser" that wasn't constructive at all. That's pointless and rude, and won't help him or any of us overcome our challenges. "

Now where in my above quoted post do I call the OP a loser?

It must be the elitist nazis showing harassment and ridiclue to point out your manipulation.

It must be my lack of compassion, or perhaps I just like to unravel socks.

So if you are seeking truth, dignity, respect, it is not to late, give it a try.
