PROUD?

I am sick and tired of all these, poor me, I'm disabled, no one understands me posts. We are better then NTs! http://www.neurotypical.com/page1/page1.html Our ranks include https://www.disabled-world.com/artman/p ... 2086.shtml . The only thing I hate about that site is that it is labeled " disabled world. " We are not disabled! For example, over and over and over again I read, " I have autism. I don't know why women don't like me." I have autism! Yes! Social rules are confusing. Why? Because they are arbitrary, dishonest and you have to obey them to get an NT to like you. However, we are aspies and if we trust ourselves we win! Women love the fact that we are honest and don't give a damn about social conventions. Probably because we don't understand them! LOL

I mean I agree, but some of the problems I've experienced in life have been pretty noticeably "disabled". I don't quite think it's a disability, more of a difference, but when the disability part shows it really changes the way we think about ourselves. It's hard to see yourself as a normal and successful person when you become the target of 30 other "normal successful people".

We're not better than NTs.

You are no better or worse than any other, unless you wish to be worse.

Don't be proud.

Just be you.

And I'm sick of all this autism supremacy BS

Maybe aspies aren't disabled idk. But I know my autism is a significant disability. I don't see anything about it to be proud of (or ashamed of for that matter). I don't see how I am superior to those without autism (or inferior to them for that matter). I'm dependent upon "NT's" I know that much. Other than that we are all just people as far as I'm concerned.

I have to disagree. We are not better than NTs and actually, I do find aspects of being autistic disabling. It has limited my life and there is very little positive (for me personally) about it.

There is no such thing as 'better' or 'worse', between neurologies.

There is only 'human'.

It is not a matter of bieng better or worse it is a matter that we are a very small minority that is different in the way people care about most social communication. This puts us at a strong to severe DISADVANTAGE.

As for disabled everybody even if not clinacally disabled is disabled is some way. For most if not all Executive Fuctioning issues I have a hard time comprehending how they would not be disabling even in the most Autistic friendly society. But Executive Dysfunctions are not considered an Autism "trait" but a "co morbid" (SMH).

As far as pride I see no logical reason to be proud or ashamed for my brain wiring. It is a matter of what you do with your Autistic brain.

In many ways I agree. I think I have a preference for Aspies, but it's because I can easily understand them and their intentions. Also, I like our focus and preoccupations. I think we're neat and interesting.

However, I think you're generalizing when you say we are not experiencing disabilities. Perhaps you think only of the high functioning Aspies. Because I think some of us are most certainly having a lot a trouble just getting by day to day.

I had a rough time growing up, with socializing, but I wouldn't say it was a disability. It was just weird? Idk

This thread seems like petty bickering over what works best for your self esteem.

IMO no-one here needs their opinion changing , the only opinion I see that needs changing are the narrow minded people who don't fully understand how autism & comorbids affect people differently.
