ok well at least you are a reasonably smart person. i know that NTs pick on us because we do not fit in. thats the point i have been making all along.


We are not the only people who don't fit in..there are NT's who don't fit in as well.....which would be why most people don't like this autism supremacy thing.

I'm not buying it, someone should not have their problems ignored just because they don't have a specific mental condition.

I ask again, how old are you and what experience do you have working with autism anyways?

im 15 and my experience with it is with my own life and i have dealt with enough bs from NTs to know that Autism Supremacy is the only way forward.

I'm glad to hear you are 15 and I was hoping you were around that age because if you were in your 20s, people would find your views extremely disturbing and pathetic. I know where you are coming from because when I was 15 it seemed like I was fighting the world and at odds with everybody, and I didn't have a diagnosis. I was just "------'s brother" (my brother is also younger than me) or "that weird dude". When you get out of high school you will find a lot of your bullies will end up in jail in the next few years after that and that most people will have to mature to fit into an adult society (employment is another story). When you get out of high school, forget much of what they told you about the real world because it's even tougher. You may have marketable skills, but your people skills will be lacking to do business in professional level jobs without extreme difficulty (even if you are working with ASD individuals) and you will find yourself celebrating small victories when networking to advance your career. You will find that you have useful skills, but if you have any sense at all you will quickly learn that you are not superior for it. You will need to work with NT's to help you succeed, and in the process you will help them as well.

My experience is that I grew up with AS undiagnosed until I was 23. I've worked with kids across the whole spectrum currently between 3 and 17 for 4 years now, and I've met about 200 people of all ages in person. Most have no aptitude for a special talent other than having good character. Most will need some sort of support all their life ranging from guidance managing money and personal affairs and activities, all the way down to those that will always need to be fed, bathed, and have their diapers changed. They are good people and they will have a huge positive impact for the better on those that care for them. Some may do well at a highly specialized job, but in reality, Einsteins and Bill Gateses are few and far between.

I don't mean to alarm you, though I want you to know you have time to get help for your people skills and apparent depression before you become an adult. Otherwise, you will crash and burn hard in the adult world and you will be the stereotypical full time keyboard commando in your parents' basement until you make major changes to your life.

i dont think there is anything wrong with your ideas at all,i think your quit bright actualy.its what you do with your ideas.start an organization and get incororated with your local goverment wherever that might be.then you need a business plan to articulate your plan and attract investers.then you need to advertise to attract people to join you.dont worry about whether people here agree with you or not if you want to start a autism supremacy organization do it and do it righ t.at my age i wont deny some of your ideas are a little naive,but you have great potential
