Asperger's Politics....

For creativity reasons, I might because I am fairly good at it, create a speech concerning A.S and society. As an articulate voice I can mimic tones that inspire, make fuzzy feelings or not. Well that is more of a delusion but....

If Aspies were coming together and needed to say something to society, that also had to be agreed upon by 75% of the parents and Asperaliens (aspies) what should be spoken about?

If you are going to reply, try to list things, keep it organized... Though your possible replies might seem easy to organize afterwards it's wont. This topic is the first of a few possible if persons partake at all.

I just like listening to speeches over and over.

Like John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

I can do a English impersonation. I got that from a comedy but I do not watch much T.V.

Respect & Dignities is a core political policy of mine. Yet with politics comes to great of possibilities and unpredictability, so I make it creative and fictional in a way, yet project what others say commonly. A need to better organize it and listen to others constructively is needed.


Imagination & creativity, possibilities create delusion and politics are known for its madnesses.

Anyone may reply with anything they want, do not obey peer pressures. Humility, honesty and genuin desires for betterment are welcome. I do not judge or make fun...

That we're usually Average or Above in Intelligenge and that we learn differently and NOT more slowly. And that we're not like Rain Man, when it comes to our behaviours and actions.

I just posted something similar to this in another thread, but I think it applies here, too:

It's a big world out there with lots of different people. Some are right-handed, some are left-handed, some use their brains differently than others.

Scientists tell us we humans only use maybe 10 percent of our brains...10 percent out of 100. Not everybody uses the same 10 percent. In fact, I would surmise than not very many people use the exact same 10 percent. This is just my premise to justify thinking differently and exemplify the AS experience; I do not have statistical data to back this up, but it is my theory.

That just because we are smart, doesn't mean we don't need help in school or accomidations.
That just because we sometimes talk to you doesn't mean we are social.
That we (for the most part) are very trusting, so please be nice.
That just because I don't look at you doesn't mean I don't see you or what you are doing.
That just because I prefer to have down time and to be alone doesn't mean I don't want a friend.
I may say something that is either silly to you or you consider inappropriate, I may not even know or realize how it sounded or even that I may have hurt you, If you are my friend please talk to me about it, so I can try not to do it again.
That I am still a person, even though I have AS. As is just part of me and you can treat me like other people, not some lesser person.

I don't want our children to have to feel shame or guilt for acting aloof and inwardly focused in situations where they may be expected to socialize but not required. If their actions are not causing distress or maltreatment to those around them, let them live in their natural state and not be forced to dislike themselves. External forces, mainly the media, may exalt a view of normalcy that is unattainable for children with significant neurological differences; I see quality parents and adult role models in the community as vital to encouraging honest self-love while de-emphasizing the importance of unrealistic impositions some in society may make.

It would be nice if there were enough adults out there to assist all aspie children who are experiencing serious difficulties attending school come to an ideal solution. As this is not the case, we will have to make do with the advocates we have out there and hopefully bullying will be strongly discouraged as much as can be done on a practical level, as has become the trend in at least some regions.

Employment is a major factor for so many of us. I don't know of much help we can receive from the government in this area. I hope for certain creative minds to help develop talents that can be utilized for income, while allowing comfortable accomodations. There is much that can be done for those who are able but can't be expected to assimilate into today's rapidly changing work force.

I don't know if this is organized in a way you would like? Just a nutshell of my thoughts on us and society today.
