Militant, much?

Yes, everyone who disagrees with you is just pretending.

Come to think of it, when did I say I was offended? It's not about being offended, and quite frankly it wouldn't matter if there wasn't asingle NT who came on this site and got offended by it.

THESE ATTITUDES ARE STILL STUPID, WRONG, ARROGANT, IGNORANT AND A WHOLE PLETHORA OF OTHER THINGS.

Pot calling the kettle black? You sound very rude and arrogant.

Why the caps lock? Why such inflammatory language if you aren’t offended? Is it just for effect? Does it make you feel tough? The way you write makes you sound like a typical internet troll.

Sorry Marshall you're the one being incredibly rude, DeanFoley is simply frustrated and stating his opinion, you on the other hand are throwing personal insults. I for one think it is ridiculous to think that in some way people with ASD are in superior ( if you really want me too I WILL troll throught hte posts that demonstrate this opinion) this is not to say that the general population should not be educated about the disorder, the same way that kids today know not to ridicule people with cerebral palsy (when I was a kid they were know a spaco's). The trouble with ASD is that unless it is really pronounced we appear normal to the majority of people (even my partner who works with kids with Intellectual Disabilities knew that something was not quite right with me but did not know what it was until she got some kids that had ASD as well as a low IQ.) Bullying at school and the workplace should be stamped out because bullying is wrong, not because bullying people with aspergers is wrong. Those of us that can bridge the gap between ASD and NT should do so without predujice, remember most people are not able to recognise HFA, can you? Being superior has never helped anyones cause, and will not hel ours.

An opinion can be arrogant; it can be ignorant... but it isn't your place, or anyone else's, to determine whether they are right - and most certainly improper to call another person's opinion stupid. You find their views in stark contrast to your own, which is your right as well. Might I suggest posting your own thoughts instead of attacking others? You might find more effect there. As it stands, you come across as upset, ranting, and offended - this is gleaned from your word choice, pacing, capitalization and repetition of concept. Again - it is not up to you to judge another's opinion. You can be frustrated, upset, but it isn't your decision.

Let's turn the situation around - what about those who would fall under the classification of NT who have superiority or inferiority complexes? I do not seem them targeted with the same venom as those on the spectrum who have the same thought process.



Disagree with that statement, though I can allow that those of a religious persuasion may identify it as a blessing or a curse. Just does not compute for me in that context.



No, although due to the lack of external influences there does seem to be a tendency for logical processes to overrule instincts. This could be perceived, or adopted, as a positive trait. Nothing wrong with turning something into a positive for yourself.



Generalization, in my opinion. Many individuals here have taken their lumps from others who don't understand; in that pain, the identification is like a shotgun instead of a sniper rifle... a lot of collateral damage. As experience is refined, the true culprits do begin to appear.



Given the inclination within society to eliminate those outside of norms, and the historical patterns of both distant cultures and our own medical culture allowing for such selective termination... while I am leery of the term genocide, I do not think that a dose of concern is unwarranted here. The passage "they came for _____, and I did nothing" is coming to mind here. Awareness is not paranoia; all a matter of degree, and some do take it to extremes.



See first answer; on here, I've seen it more as a question than a declarative statement.



Other race? Bah. Is it a different subset within humanity? Sure - as it having blue eyes, or six toes, or hair loss. Any characteristics can be used to define a group; there are those who feel their personal strengths give them an advantage over others... regardless of the veracity of such statements, it is their belief to have. It is not up to you to judge others or change their mind because of their methods of adapting. What works for one will not work for another. The concept advocated of ASD supremacy seems extraordinarily out-there to me... I have some things I can do much better than most; other things I am relatively helpless/clueless as to what to do or how to react. Am I better than other people? In most cases, there will be something I can do better than another; at the same time, I feel confident in my knowledge that there are things others can do far superior to my efforts. Am different, and using those to my advantage instead of my detriment - and on that basis, I'm proud of myself. There are many I've encountered in life who do not make that choice.... so perhaps I allow myself a small sense of superiority in knowing that I have chosen this path instead of allowing it to rule me.



All groups and individuals have aspirations. Religions proclaim to 'save' their worshippers, for example. If you don't buy in, don't join. Optimism isn't a bad thing unless carried to the point of delusion.



See above: A lot of hurt people, and a lot of generalizations that are hard to recognize as such. People fear what they do not understand... is it surprising, given the impact to communication and understanding, that there would be fear, anger and hostility?



Even if not mandatory, the effects of discrimination (insurance, employment) can lead to such a system. At a young age, there may not be the same experience with groups or organizations to develop that sense of caution when such options are proffered.

I'm proud of who I am, what I accomplish, and where I am headed. This includes AS. If you have a problem with that... well, that is exactly what it is - your problem. That other people have disparate viewpoints does not change who I am or what I believe, and if it works for them without hurting others, I'm all for it. Sometimes, we need to see the end of the tunnel, even if we only tell ourselves that it is there, in order to keep our feet moving in progress.

-Asperger Syndrome is a power given from God.

-Asperger Syndrome gives you logical thinking and rationality.

-Most Neurotypical's view us as inferior, sub-human beings.

-Neurotypical's are going to attempt genocide on us.

-Aspies are ''closer to God''.

-Aspies are some ''other'', more evolved race.

-Aspies will save the world somehow, against the ''New World Order'' or something else. ''Vanguards of creation''.

-Neurotypical's are evil, at least that's the vibe I'm getting from people on here...

-A cure will be mandatory.

I think it does. Aspies are highly rational thinkers.

This is way too much of a generalisation and sort of annoys me. I have an interest in logic and like to think I've developed an eye for spotting fallacies, but I've seen plenty of people here make great jumps in logic with little precedent.

A more accurate statement might be that those on the spectrum are more systemic thinkers, logic being one possible system employed. Other irrational systems are also possible; it is the form, not the content, that is the common element. Does this wash clean with you?
