I Am Sick And Tired of People saying...

Post Reply New Topic

"You're not autistic." "You can talk, read and write, so you can't be autistic."
I've had people give me hate mail on Youtube saying that I'm not autistic. And if that wasn't bad enough, these are 35-year olds. 35 YEAR OLDS!! They are ranting and whining about "You don't know what it's like to have autism", like they are 19-year old sexually dysfunctional males living in their parents' basement watching porn that can't get laid. What I don't get is they say, "Don't pass judgment on me," when they point fingers at us on who and who's not autistic. Freaking hypocrites. These are the same parents that admit wanting their children better off dead. I've warned them that an autistic person might have hung themselves over that comment and they could go to jail for "bullycide." These are middle-aged parents that nothing better to do than bully people on line like their middle-schoolers. I'm tired of being called a fake. It hurts me more than a knife. I'm freaking tired of it!

yeah a lot of people certainly just dont get how varied the autism spectrum is, it's not something that can just be shoehorned into a tiny little box,just because someone doesnt have the extreme problem's does not mean they dont still have problems.

story of my life,ha ha

I stopped posting comments on youtube because people there is too hurtful. If you dare think different than they do they will insult you and call you names. Its like it is fill eith angry people. Please just avoid yourself the pain, or just allow comments of people you know. Dont allow that bunch of ignorant people hurt ou. You know who you are.

a vast majority of NTs are just like that. they are trying to tear the autism community apart. don't let it happen. we must support our lower functioning bretheren even when people try to turn us against them.

My message to those people is that high functioning AS children like mine DO share more with their children than they do with NT children, in how they think and experience the world, even if it isn't obvious. If they listen to children like mine - or adults like you - they will gain INVALUABLE insights into what their child needs.

I also tell them that we can't begin to understand what they are going through and what their worries are, and we aren't trying to. We are just saying, "listen to us, those with Aspergers can be a bridge for your family. USE that resource." "I won't talk to you about some of your choices I may not be thrilled about, because without having walked in your exact shoes I cannot understand what drove you to them, but I will talk to you about how I think your child might want to be parented, because I honestly think you need to know."

Practice a response along those lines, and see if you can get these people talking to you.

It seems so clear to me, as a parent, reading this forum, what traits and needs are universal across all levels of functioning. If the opposing groups can just learn to hear each other, so much good could result.

that f****d up

lets you know just how little is known to most people

people see a movie and think to themselves, "oh that must be what all people on the spectrum do"

The thing is, HFAs learn how to hide their shortcomings and mimic NT behavior. But NTs don't see how HFAs think & feel inside, and how difficult it is to try and exist in the NT world.

@aspie48,
Are you generalizing NT's into a box again? Stop trying to think that the whole world is after you. I know that some NT's would give anything to have me dead, but I don't point out to all of them. Please, don't start fights on my threads. If you can't say anything nice in a thread, keep them to yourself.
