I hate seeing here complete normal neutral people but think they can understand everyone and everything while they barely even know the correct definition of Autism and it's spectrum. I've been went through many dark stages and I know how hard is it for someone in the spectrum to fit in society and most of us can't so it's rare for even an Asperger adult to become independent and fully responsible created for a mostly extroverted NT based group.

I haven't posted here many times but I lurked on this forum for a while but I don't see how it's an Asperger community rather teens, adults and some hippies try to convince people with diagnosed Autism that they're autistic and fit in the definition when most do party on the weekends and barely even face with things like social anxiety, depression or judgement by society.

I'm certain that almost no one who posts on WP is "complete normal neutral."

How can you be sure someone is REALLY Autistic when posting on the internet? On this forum, we just take your word for it. I haven't seen to many regular posters who don't claim to be on the spectrum. A few parents, but I feel they are just trying to understand their kid better (that's a good thing).

Was this before or after the cops raided the place and arrested 63 of your mostly black friends? You know, for the very "little" bag of weed that is still presently illegal. We can ignore the cocaine, firearms and the pissed off neighbors near the place y'all rented for the night. Well, it was a party after all :roll:

Did someone actually ask you that? Did you actually go to a party? You don't seem the party type. My parents have been asked if I'm autistic before.

Yes. Nowadays it's a trend for some people to appear unique, because it's cool to claim Aspergers or autistic symptoms to be "different" - This may not be exclusively for Hippies but also Hipster logic.

Some of us don't let our autism get in the way of doing normal, everyday activities. Yeah, we have our problems, but we don't dwell on them.

I'm a weird person. I go onto forums like this one and act all philosophical and omniscient. I guess I don't really fit in anywhere.

You're a butterfly on this forum, and have yet to see you make worse posts than the one you wrote right now.

It's quite shallow to think people are able to control their autism. I don't believe for a second someone diagnosed with Autism have a choice to be anything else than Autistic as his/her motives, acts, thoughts are all influenced by his mental state also it's unlikely for women to be autistic, it's rather a modern aspect of neurology to put some Introverted, outcast individuals from the society into the umbrella definition of Autism.

Wow, did you mean that to be offensive? Because that's how it sounds. If we just tried harder and didn't let our autism get in the way and wallow in self pity :| Maybe I've read it wrong but I've spent my life trying and failing to stop autism f#cking up my normal, everyday activities and I don't need some sanctimonious person suggesting I'm not trying hard enough. :ninja:
