I Want to Help Aspies!! !!

Some uncalled-for posts from this thread:

I don't want your charity. I am very offended and I think there are too many non-autistics on WP... Non-autistics have other places to hang out right...? And this is THE ONLY place I can hang out online...

If you are not autistic yourself, you should not try and "help" us, because you dont understand us, and how can you if you are neurotypical?

You could read a few books, try and talk to a few aspies (allthough I dont know how you would locate us in real life, as we look just like everyone else), then study alot of s**t, but you still wouldnt have a clue what it is or what it feels like. Even the so-called autism-experts can never be too educated, and they will never "get" us..

Please feel free to post more, but follow the norms and unwritten rules of "The Wrong Planet".

So what I am trying to say is that maybe you should "help" someone else. If not I am not sure I want to be on WP anymore....

O.K., the first one I agree was inappropriate. But only the part about wearing miniskirts and screaming. Violates my own personal tenet of self-determination. What was inappropriate about the others? Is this your opinion? Whose standards determine what is an appropriate response?

Since I am often accused of being judgemental, I know that others feel I impose my standards on them. What I can't understand is if they disagree with them, why take issue? Just ignore them. This is based on my experience of having people accuse me of judging them even before I make a comment about what they are doing or saying.

Hence my disclaimer that my judgement of the inappropriateness of the first comment is based on my own moral code....

After all, who's to say that I'm right?

Although its not very scientific, I must say I really like wierdo-typical.
I wouldn't mind at all if this site was restricted to wierdo-typical folks, but who would be the judge of that? And which WTs, and how much of a WT do I need to be to be considered WT?

Hm. Think I'll go visit the philosophy forum....

The plain fact of the matter is that many people here were rude. And whether you want to rename it "blunt" or not, it still has the same effect. Because usually when I am blunt, it sounds rude. And, frankly, it's not something to be admired. And if I have the awareness of my bluntness, it is better that I try and curb it unless I want to go around pissing everybody else off. Saying "this is the way I am, why do I have to change" is just lazy if I should continue to complain about social difficulties and "mistreatment" by other nonAspies. I can't have it both ways.

I'm just tired of labels being misused as tools of segregation rather than for understanding. People are people and there are more similarites between them than not.

For all her eagerness, Christina was shot down. Perhaps I am even more frustrated by this than she, simply because I find hypocracy abhorrent. Especially where here people complain about being labeled and then treated unfairly because of it and then as revenge they do the same in reverse. Anyone who does this has little right to complain if they want to be taken seriously. And, honestly, I would like to be taken seriously.
