Yes I know that but I never understood why would an aspie pick on other apsies. I take that as white people picking on other white people, and black people picking on other black people. Maybe those apsies aren't picking on other aspies just because they are AS. But to target a certain group of your own kind, I don't understand it. That's what fickle pickle sounded like when she said it. Pick on them because they have AS.

Looking at her posts, she has some major self-esteem issues and tries to make herself feel better about her problems by making fun of the problems of others.

I don't take pride in being Aspie. I take pride in being myself, and I am proud of my strengths. Some strengths are probably related to autism, so that's why.

a while back, i heard this snatch of conversation-

person #1- "you shouldn't feel sorry for yourself, blahblahblah etc."
person #2- "but if I didn't feel sorry for me, then who would?"

I simply learned that when humans make statements like this, they're either furries, or Aspies... and I don't yiff.

I am proud I'm not a furry, so perhaps I am proud to be an Aspie, though I'd say the correct term is amused to find out that I am one.

Incidentally, bullying your peers is a sign of a deep self hatred, lashing out at what you see of yourself in others when you don't like what you see reflected back at you.

Sad, really, generally a sign of weakness in many other areas, but perhaps you'll go through puberty one day, young Mr. Fickle, and finally stop feeling like you have to lash out at the world in a typical angsty pre-teen fashion.

Actually it's MISS Fickle, and I'm already through with puberty. And yes it is a sign of self-hatred. Forgive me for actually showing shame.

My bad, I tend to expect more of women, and am always somewhat surprised when they turn out to be just as big as*holes as guys... though experience should temper that, it does not.

That isn't showing shame, showing shame does not involve lashing out at others.

Yeah, and perhaps it is my weird definition of shame.

Shame is what you would feel after lashing out and realizing it was unjustified.

I lack shame these days, I got tired of it and realized I didn't need it, I just needed to avoid certain actions to make life easier.

I was showing shame, but channeling it differently. And I was trying to emulate those popular mean girls.

Fishing for sympathy would work a little better if you didn't say how fun bullying other Aspies was a few posts before.

I'm not fishing for sympathy. Sympathy annoys me. I just wanted someone to know that there is an Aspie who hates herself and other Aspies, even being jealous of some.

Well, pride goeth before a fall... and aspies fall a lot because they're clumsy... and the frequent falling functions as some sort of stim?

Just a theory...

Who says that Aspies DO 'take pride' in being Aspie?

and if 'they' do, are you suggesting that

1. A majority do?
2. A sizable minority do?
3. 'Some do?
4. More than 2, to you knowledge do?

I edited this post as I included a quote (by mistake) in my original post.

This post was intended as a response to the thread question.

Apologies for any confusion, especially to the person that I quoted by mistake.
