Not everyone respects me or accepts my opinions. Some members seem to prefer that I not be so quick to point out the flaws in other members' methods, reasoning, or data. Some members seem to think that critical thinking has no place in a social website. Others just don't like me because the mods have intervened against them on my behalf. Fortunately, they also seem to be in the minority.
Next time, use your critical thinking skills when you look at the website to figure out how to view what I stated without becoming a member, before bashing people.
If you think that I am "bashing" anyone, then please take it up with the moderatorial staff.

It seems really insulting...

I mean it seems demanding "don't be a" sorry but eye contact is very difficult and I don't get gestures.

Shouldn't we be teaching people it's okay to be different, not that if you're not like every NT person that you're a zombie and need to behave "properly".

The world won't accept us, it never ever will. If you can reach a child young maybe they have a chance, too late for me. Services for adults on the spectrum are nil. You can preach how great it is to be different but guess what? Everybody thinks they're special, even the most socially and otherwise gifted. The definition of different will change, look at how "nerd" has changed, a lot of people call themselves nerds but how many of them were getting called that while they were picked on in grade school? These people are even worse the ostracizers, we live in a generation of narcissists. They don't appreciate my differences, they just raise themselves up on their differences.

Makes me sad that people are making children feel bad about themselves, just for who they are :cry:

It isn't just the children, and it doesn't matter what way they are.

No matter what you do, no matter what you say, no matter how you look, it is inevitable that someone will try to make you feel bad for it; but if there are two ways that you can take what was said, and one of those ways would hurt you, then you would be better off in the long run to believe that it was the other way was intended.

More often than not, some people just need to "grow up and deal with it" when someone else tries to belittle them.

Holy crap, that's awful. And they say WE'RE the ones with no empathy.
