Fluorescents success.

I think we can all agree that no matter who's the puching bag of the week here, we are all still in the same autistic spasticated boat -- and that's not saying much. :|

We all have needs that are special, true true...though some of us even look "special"

The special, must be my sexy body, I have six pack and big muscles.? I am not gay, sorry. I appologize if I misinterpeted you.

[McGiver]

you keep on saying, "i am not gay", like their is something wrong with being gay.

One thing I've noticed in Fluorescent's posts is that he explains things that don't nessessarily need explaining.? Fluorescent, is this a conscious thing, assuming that we might not "get" stuff due to theory of mind or metaphor deficiency, the result of being misunderstood too often in usual conversation, or is this a general tendency?

I should probably add that I don't mean this post as an attack.

(Oh god, now you've got me doing it.  ))

Actually it drives me

Actually I am rather annoyed, because I am not used to dealing with problems like metaphores, which I call structural.  I had no idea this had anything to do with AS untill I came over here.  I am also getting annoyed with  the fact that sometimes people don;t know how they sound.  I am not used to that either.  This triggered my trauma and the trauma blined me.  I came through, and thought about it. These are AS things, and I should not take be an ass to the people that do it.

People here often show deficiency in anticipating how they will sound to others.  And they also show a lack of empathy towards others who show this deficiency.  However this, seems to me, to be because they can't or won't believe that what they say can and does get misinterpreted.

What annoys me is that you feel justified in being annoyed by people who don't know how they sound, as if to imply you have a good handle on that yourself.  When at least due to VOTE it has been shown you are at least partially mistaken as to how you sound.

I can't be sure, but i might be making a case in point on the lack of empathy statement in this post.

[Randy]

I am very much aware of how I sound, its part of the nature of trauma. (Social anxiety do to being maid fun of) I can put truama aside to straighten how I sound and what I think I sounds like. The whole reason I misinterpeted is because of truama and other;s disability.  Sometimes you piss me off, and I purposefully don;t care what I sound like.

[Randy]

I understand people have issues though, so I am starting to have more consideration.

[Nomaken]

I was made fun of from grade 1 to 12.? And I don't know why my friend Gabe hasn't killed his childhood bullies.? None of my friend got through school without getting bulled.? I really don't see how people making fun of you could stunt your communication and interpretation abilities to this degree.

Did they kidnap you and tie you up and lower your head into a cold lake in the middle of the night for minutes at a time?  That could do some stuntin'

[Randy]

Truama is tireing and that can fuck me up.? If I effectively communicate an idea about truama I might trigger something, but I try to edit now.? I had? issues before I went to school.? I? had bipolar disorder, HFA, ADHD, and family issues. Bipolar disorder is a maybe, my clinical social worker's view is muddled by HFA.? I got cancer, so maybe I had internal problems to boot.? I would say I got tag teamed, big time.? I am fighting the mood problem and winning, without meds.
