You've never noticed it for yourself? I noticed at age 10 when I was getting bullied by teachers and students.

I was bullied, abused and teased all through school. Life was unfair for me when I was in the public school system. I'm also a strong believer that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Also, people bully those of us who are on the spectrum because they're a bunch of Pro-Choice perfectionists who think that we shouldn't have been born. If there was a genetic test for autism when we were conceived, we wouldn't be here because they hate autism that much. They hate even just the word, autism so they bully us to see if we will give in and commit suicide so that they wouldn't have to deal with us, anymore. That's why I refuse to die.

Life is unfair when you have an a***hole like David Cameron running your country and you're an honest descent hard-working person on average to low income, or if you lost your job you get s**t from the job centre as though it's your fault that you're out of work. That's all unfair.

It's also unfair when you go to the doctors for treatment for something, and they can't afford to treat you and so you have to suffer, unless you've got lots and lots of money.

It's also unfair when the council won't give you a flat but a group of Poles come to this country and get given free money and houses waiting for them. And no I am not being racist, because it's actually racist not to give British people a first chance IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY!! !


Now that's wait I call unfair.

Just because i don't bully does not mean i am a Saint.I may be selfish,do bad things,many bad things but some things are more extreme.Some things make someone truly evil.Even if someone hates he is not truly evil but someone who does what Hitler did is truly evil.If someone drives another one to suicide just to laugh and he is older than 15 then he is truly evil.That's why we say about morality,crimes,justice,civilized society and all that.

You asked two different question.

"Is life unfair?"

No. Life just is. People can be fair or unfair, but life is just life.

"Are Aspies being treated unfairly?"

Of course. In many cases they are. Few are treated fairly, but it's only because of the vast amount of ignorance about us. People can't be fair about things they don't understand.

But then, people in general are no more unfair to us than they are to many other groups of people. We're just not as well equipped to deal with it as most are in other groups.

Life is unfair from time to time to everybody, on the spectrum or not. Fairness is important to me, and to many Aspies, so maybe we notice it more. You can walk up to any man on the street and ask them to list the unfair things that have happened in thier life and I promise you that you will get a pretty decent size list. Some people, mainly NT's have a better ability to brush it off and roll with the punches. I obsess over unfair treatment and want to expose it, but that's really just too much trouble, and people wouldn't be overly concerned anyway, so I don't.

As for being pro choice, I'm pro choice. At least up to the age of viability. The baby grows inside the woman's body, so she should have a right to abort if she chooses to. I do not like the idea of abortion because of fetal defect, unless it's anacephaly which is where only the brain stem forms and the baby does not have an actual brain and can never live very long or have any quality of life, but I am also against legislation mandating what reasons the woman can abort for. I do believe that if a woman chooses to abort for reasons of fetal defect that she should be required to talk to an expert in the field of whatever the defect is, because many people have misconceptions about them. She should be able to make an informed decision.
