I am inspired alright... inspired to pick them up and shake some sense into them.

Hatred and extreme views always seem to have this effect on me.

(I voted Ja because I'm danish, and in danish Ja=Yes)

Anti-NT demagoguery inspires me, alright. It inspires me to speak out against it, to say that meeting hate with hate only causes more hate, and that equality is achieved through promotion of equality, not through expression of hatred.

Why must it be a fight of hate? If they truly want to make change, organize a public, peaceful demonstration. Show the world that you're different, not disabled, and that you are equal, not lesser or better.

As much as I rant about NTs, around a certain time of the month, I do respect most of them, and I think that they can be pretty decent.

Two questions- i) where'd the pic of Will Self go? ii) Are we dealing with sarcasm or irony?

Whatever you want to call it, if a person is perceived by "NT" people as different, he sees certain behaviors from those NT people. I haven't yet grokked the reason why I should not point this out. If that is the face that they want to show me, taking into account the fact that I am better with the written word than they are, then that's the face that I will talk about.

What???

Nobody's gone all Yoda yet???

"Fear leads to anger... anger leads to hate.... hate leads to SUFFERING.."

:lol: :lol:

No it doesn't "inspire" me... but any who doubt the "typical" NT, if part of a CROWD of NT's wouldn't react exactly like the brown monkeys in Heinlein's oft used "Pink Monkey Experiment" then they really don't know NT's all that well.... Savagery is ALWAYS just below the surface. Millions of years of evolution saw to that. When you're dealing with the alpha predator of the planet, you have two options; hide, or be MORE dangerous...

I'd prefer to be more dangerous. Picture a pink monkey with a machete. Mmmm...Works for me. Now pick up thy AK47 and make the world a more autistic friendly place. TSZ.

All that I'm saying is that people should be aware of NT faults and deficiencies. They are painfully aware of what they think is wrong with autistic and ASD people.
