<<<<<<<----------- Commander SpockCat has recently been informed by those very high in the chain of command that Aspergians truly are from another planet. As it turns out, we were the first batch sent away from our home planet as an experiment. However, the chain of command agrees that this was not the most well thought out of experiments. For instance, we were sent to Earth with no Aspie instruction manual for the natives

The chain of command is now preparing another group of Aspienauts to be sent to an entirely different planet. Thus, the chain of command now wants you to write an instruction manual for the new planet - the people there are like the people here - the are likely to often have very little clue as to how to deal in any way with Aspergians, so this time we are going to help them out.

The Instruction Manual is intended to help the natives:
Communicate With Aspies
Accept Aspies into thier culture
Utilize Aspies as functional members of society
and Love Aspies!.

Commander Spockcat extorts you to remember that you are writing for non-Aspergians, they have no shared identity or experiences with you - they know nothing about Aspergians!

He awaits your replies!

Do you possibly mean "exhorts"? Extortion involves bribery and threats.

Just what sort of individual IS Commander Spockcat? Sounds rather nasty to me.

I vote he be sent to the rescue center next time he goes into Pon Farr.

What would these results mean? Been told here I must be a "half pint".

Dumb typo! He only bribes and threatens when it comes to dinner.
By the way, I don't get this Aspies = cats thing,

The chain of command must be sadists.

Instruction manual? 2 years of intensive multimedia training. Or 1 line. GO HOME

Given the evidence of failure in this planetary settlement experiment, wouldn't that dictate that the next selected planet be explicitly devoid of human like forms? Or better yet, any complex life forms.

If you have contact with the chain of command, can you find out if the Aspergian residents of this planet are eligible for application of candidacy for the next experiment? It might be our ticket out of here.

I don't know if a manual for non-Aspergians would be purposeful. We can't communicate in their language, and they don't follow rules anyway. They'd probably just roll it up and belt each other over the head with it.

I think Tony Attwood has written on this subject. I'm not into reinventing wheels.

Hit us over the head with it, ha!
