Having ASD gives us licence to be inappropriate!
Personally i think its true, i mean their must be some positive aspects to having ASD.
And behaving inappropriately i think is definitely part of the ASD predicament.
So if an ASD person asks you for a cuddle, or for you to show them your titties,
or even asks you extremely bluntly, " do you want to come home to have sex"
I think NT people should be more understanding, as that is how blunt and inept we are
when it comes to flirting, so NT's (and other ASD people) should act cool if it happens to them
and be nice.
This doesn't mean that we as ASD people will be unfaithful, in many cases the complete opposite is true.
But it would help us in-adept folk who do not only do not have the capabilities of gaining such skills,
we will basically will never get such skills no matter how long we live on this planet,
which is a tragedy as many of us are attractive enough and also extremely loyal partners
but are left out, while the NT population spend their time going out with people who aren't loyal,
and who inevitably cheat on their partners...
So my point is to let go of our deficits when having ASD and forgive us for our incompetence with
dating skills, as we, as ASD people may actually be better and more loyal partners than many "normal" NT and douche bag folk!! !
Give us a try even if we mess up to start with, as in time we may prove ourselves to be good.
Yeah, that seems like the way it should work but sadly it doesn't. Aspies have the burden of having to remember to act appropriately at all times, while most NTs - who "know what they're doing" - basically get away with any inappropriate behaviour, when it's against an Aspie of course.
It's like NT behaviour against Aspies (or against anyone different but let's just use Aspie Vs NT here just for simplicity's sake) is "human nature", and that it's OK for a group of NTs to gang up on an Aspie and make his life miserable because, well, that's what apes do to protect themselves and survive, so there you go, that's just NTs being ordinary civilized human beings: picking on someone different just because their ancient ape ancestors did it - even though humans aren't particularly going to die if they don't bully but there you have it, there's your answer. Sometimes Aspies have even been told to understand their bullies. Wait, what?!
But if an Aspie decides to do what our ancient ape ancestors have done for years and bully someone "weaker" to help ourselves survive, oh dear.
That is not appropriate ever, you mean, heartless son of a b***h Aspie, don't you have any consideration for that person? Don't you know how you're making them feel? How do you live with yourself? Go away in the corner and think about what you did, you brutal, savage, inhumane, barbaric, barbarous, brutish, bloodthirsty, murderous, homicidal, vicious, ferocious, fierce, wicked, evil, fiendish, devilish, diabolical, heinous, abominable, monstrous, atrocious, vile, hideous, ghastly, nasty, spiteful, mean motherfucka from hell!
Sorry, there's sarcasm mixed in there, expressing the way I feel about NT Vs autistic double standards.

If it's accidental than yeah.
I think Shona on Corrie has something like 'late onset ASD' lol.
Never known a real name for her diagnosis. Just 'she thinks different now'. And she goes around saying rude things to everyone even though she was NT before the shooting.
Or she's figured out she can get away with it.
People shouldn't do it on purpose.

Bullies annoy me so much.
I got bullied as a kid.
I don't necessarily consider being above them (not all NTs! the bullies!) to be a 'disability'.
But I do consider deafness a disability.
Mum works with a 14 yo boy who gets bullied at his school & the kids were writing on his face and all sorts. Just cos he's deaf. It's horrible.

No, being a transgressive guerilla artist gives one licence to be inappropriate.
I'm not a crazy person screaming on the street car, I'm an artist.

Yeah if some random guy comes up and asks to see my titties I don't think I am going to be nice. That's not dating incompetence that's just a rude freaking thing to say to random women. I don't think autism is an excuse to be rude and blunt and refuse to consider other peoples feelings, especially people you're intending to befriend or start a relationship with. No one is going to want to put up with you being a rude jerk, regardless of what condition you have.
Also its inaccurate to assume neurotypicals are always getting with non-loyal partners and aspies just automatically are more loyal partners than NTs....that seems like nonsense to me. I don't think aspies are immune from messing up in a relationship...

We won't go back.
If someone makes a mistake socially - something everyone is prone to but the more autistic you are the more prone you likely are - that's one thing.
If someone is deliberately being rude I do not care who they are, they need to stop it.
I disagree with the theory that impact is more important than intent.
If someone tends to be brutally honest, though, it's even more important that what's in their heart is good. I manage to be relatively PC AND brutally honest by actually being against certain bigotries.

Hey I have good news because you don't need a license nor ASD for that. You need only not to be afraid of messing around with all the other people who may dislike your behaviour. Some people will ignore you, some have fun with watching you but some may try to stop you or to become a threat for you together with their friends. And don't underestimate the girls because they are quite fast in asking some guys for help who may like to play the hero for them by stopping you.

Yere, I would say that a great deal of human behaviour when examined by clinical psychologists, is nothing more than sadistic bullying.
People bully to get what they want and to ruin other peoples lives. People bully to get jobs, girl friends, boy friends, people also bully to ruin other peoples prospects without a reason, some bully to gain popularity among the lower minded, some bully through prejudice, bigotry, sadism, some do it cause they enjoy watching others suffer. Some will bully simply because they can, because they are bigger and stronger, their are connected to power which they can use to bully others etc. Its all really sick. A sick civilisation that pretty much runs on bullying.
Why people bully, I think that each individual has their own reasons, sometimes the individual doesn't always understand why they do what they do.
I think that what happens in the human world is very similar to what primates do in the wild, again, with the primates also having various motives as to why they bully.
In the human world, I say that some bully for simple reasons.
Human A wants something that Human B has, so Human A bullies Human B. That's simply enough to understand.
Other scenarios may involve more sophisticated forms of manipulation and be motivated by more complex emotions caused by even more complex factors such as upbringing, early life experiences, inherited genetic weakness causing mental illnesses and conditions such as ASD....
I would say however, it is through bullying that some of the least intelligent, criminally minded people whom i have had contact with in life, succeed in business. Through stealing, lying, slandering gang stalking, gang bullying, to steal from their victims and ruin their reputations, while taking advantage of any opportunity or business connection that arises.
Some of the people I know, who ironically live on the same small island that I live on, are capable of inciting people to commit suicide, and I think this group of people have done so many times, but get away with what they do because part of the clique include children of the wealthy elite who live in the island, who's parents are lawyers, judges, owners of some of the businesses. As the old saying goes, money talks.
As for asking someone to see their titties, I wouldn't have said that such a behaviour was bullying, just simply rude.
Although haven grown up in the rave scene, in the 90s, someone saying such a thing wouldn't really have been that out of place, even for people who are NT. For example, if someone said it at a rave, the girl may have even complied or said something rude back. Usually, considered just good old fashioned childish humour rather than anything deeply offensive.
Keep in mind that people who frequented the raves were usually extremely intoxicated, preferably with narcotics as well as alcohol. So someone making such a remark, wouldn't have really been considered an offense, just a rude remark, that would be treated with the contempt it deserves, rather than taking such a minor incident so extremely serious.
But I guess that was the 90s, and due to how toxicically over sensationalized everything is in our politically minded world, every person does now gets overly scrutinised, cross analysed and punished with the 3rd Degree. Witch hunts for everyone but the witches who are pointing the fingers.
One of the biggest flaws of modern society is the acceptance that humans have a human nature, which justifies bad behaviour, and which doesn't require forgiveness.
Also, without a spiritual path, people lose their wisdom as to how to act, as well as their higher nature or higher purpose. A soul without a higher purpose is like a boat without a rudder.
Just using up their life opportunities going from one whim to another, for personal entertainment, without any real purpose.
Personally, if someone with ASD said something risque to me, which was a little rude.
Then i would likely not get offended and forgive it, and if anything put it into perspective
especially if they have the condition, and laugh it off. But that's me I guess.
I guess i would be kind instead, perhaps by giving some discreet advice to the "offender" for their minor misdemeanor rather than use the minor incident as an excuse to get everyone to bully the offender for daring to act in a manner that I personally find offensive.
Which of the two would be a worse act, a person with ASD acting slightly inappropriately or a person using the minor incident to violently assault the individual or subject them to psychological abuse for his / her slightly inappropriate behaviour? (behaviour that sometimes fits certain personality disorders such as histrionic personality disorder and disorders where more manipulative people actually create the grounds for them to then step in and save the day, extremely strange).
Mum works with a 14 yo boy who gets bullied at his school & the kids were writing on his face and all sorts. Just cos he's deaf. It's horrible.
Some kids go through so much s**t at that age, or even from like the age of 5 onwards.
You would have thought the other kids would be more understanding and protective over the 14 year boy.
I wonder if taking up a good martial art would be useful.
When i was a kid, where we lived, myself and two friends got really picked on by this spoilt ginger kid who was very manipulative, who had a friend who was unnaturally big for his age. He was like 6 foot tall at the age of 10.
This was during the mid 80s, and around the time that "The Karate Kid" came out and was at the pictures.
So we, aged 11 went to see the film and loved it.
It inspired us all to start karate, which we did, as my friends dad had a good friend who taught a karate school that was close to where we lived.
I took to it like duck to water, and trained hard for several years.
Interestly enough, karate got really popular around this time, also likely due to the film.
And all the kids in the area that i live in started to turn up at our Dojo/training hall.
But we had a head start, and all the kids that turned up, including the super spoilt rich kids and super sporty kids turned up, but all got beaten and left, due to not liking losing.
Even the ginger kid and his thug mate turned up and I beat the 6 foot thug kid, with a few simply strikes and some well placed blokes.
Now, I know that violence isn't the way to sort out bullying, however, having some skill in a martial art
can at least be used to stop others from hurting you.
Some martial arts also teach people psychological mindset, teaching people how to handle bullies.
The Gracie Jiu Jitsu guys in particular have a program called Bullyproof.
Which they use to teach kids how to respond to bullies, why bullies bully, and martial art techniques that
a kid can use to prevent themselves getting hurt, while at the same time not hurting the bully too much.
Judo, also is a good martial art too (of which I am a level 2 UKCC coach), I believe is also represented in the disabled Olympics. And nothing like being good at Judo to use as a skill to stop bullies.
Judo, like Gracie Jiu Jitsu can be used to tire out bigger opponents using skillfulness, can be used to pin people to the floor while a teacher or police man is found, and can also (if really necessary) to choke someone unconscious or put someone in an arm lock, in order to keep that person controlled, as well as to wear them out.
I also can recommend Kenpo Karate as a possible self defense method, although due to the violent nature of the techniques, it may not the modern societies politically correct way to deal with bullies.
Something that i was also a bit torn about when at school, as when bullied, i always thought it would be wrong for me to beat the other kids up, as I would then become the bully, which is something that i was trying to avoid.
or even asks you extremely bluntly, " do you want to come home to have sex"
For showing you their titties you don't have to ask but being handsome, to act overly selfconfident and to care the girls. Then not even few interested women will rub their boobs against you while passing you.
But be aware that they also do if they have a friend and hope you to fight with him!

Right. It's much more fun to make people intentionally angry on you by ignoring all the common social rules.
But a self-confident Karate fighter shouldn't have problems with ruling all the others, does he?
