Why do apies act so bitter on wrongplanet?

Post Reply New Topic

Wish this site had more positive people on it and why do people say all apies and people autism have savant skills. I am apies and I don't have any savant skills. I want a cure for my disorder.

My irony detector is reading levels way off the charts.

Though I haven't been a member even a whole month yet, it seems to me that WrongPlanet is the one 'safe' place to unburden ourselves of our sadness, bitterness, confusion, embarassment without fear of the dismissive responses that many neurodiverse people are overwhelmed by every day, all the time. We can say what we need to say and be understood as just needing someone to hear us who really understands. No one does understand, though, but other neurodiverse individuals. have you read some of the messages in the Haven? Sylkat

...aspies, not aspies...

Aspies, not apies.....

Then why don't you attend a site where "positive" morons spread their positive illusions about themselves and the universe?

I'm glad there isn't a cure.

We cant express what we truely feel to the outside world. So we fuel all our feelings in the posts on wrongplanet. Its a safe space to express ourselves. Majority of us dont have safe spaces to express ourselves outside. We live tough lives, theres so much anger that builds up from everyday frustrations.

I don't have 'savant skills'. Even the medical community knows idiotic savantism has little correlation with us. Why don't you go to reddit. I am sure you'll find that your assumption about us being nastier is a load of rubbish... unless you're self-deluding...

I think people find WP is a place where they can share and express things they don't have the opportunity to in the rest of their lives. Everyone needs to vent somewhere and it doesn't mean that everyone on WP is miserable... or at least not in every area of their lives.

I read somewhere recently that about 10% of people with autism are meant to have some kind of splinter or savant skill - don't remember where though to verify how accurate that figure is.

Dear Gedrene, I was not aware that the individual Dustin Hoffman based his 'Rainman' character was not actually an autistic, I had read for years that he was/is..can I ask what his diagnosis really is? Sylkat is

Dear Gedrene, thank you very much for the information, I'm pretty new here, and definitely new at knowing much about Asperger's. I appreciate so much when more senior members or people who have been diagnosed longer share things with me that I can look up in order to better understand things. Again, thank you Sylkat

I come in here to learn how to live in a more posative light. I have yet to find much of it. I like your question because it in its self is a source of inspiration that makes me self reflect on just what it is that really makes me happy. To often I forget that I am at my best when I am the source of inspiration for other people.

I have my faults and a lot of cleaning up to do but as long as I keep thinking like this things are going to get better one way or another. Be bold, trust your heart, and don't let people f**k with your dreams.
