Aspies For Freedom
« on: April 01, 2007, 04:35:14 PM »
 I regigstered at AFF recently, and unlike othe forums I've been at, I hardly recognize any names there.

Is there anyone else well known registered there ??

I'm registered there, but, it's been a while since I last posted.  In fact I'v pretty much turfed it to my daughter to go to.  She likes the #AFF chat forum once in a while.  I don't recall many people from wp on AFF.  Most of the members came from AI and AspergianPride originally.  There's a lot of bad feeling between Amy and Gareth against Alex, that goes back to the beginnings of wp.  It's pretty much in the distant past as far as internet forums go.

I think that was the place I discovered first when I was googling the spectrum after my diagnosis. I decided they were all rabid self-obsessed fanatics and I wanted nothing to do with them.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

meh, i just don't have the patience to be regulated for my behaviour.

i have learned to be comfortable with myself.  i don't need others telling me that i am bad, and punishing me for it.

I'm there - though with a different username. Haven't been active for some time, though. I've lost interest; it has stagnated, few things of interest being discussed anymore (save for in revived threads years of age), much of the old community having left, and the new largely being pretty different, which has gradually made AFF an uninteresting place.

They need to get hobbies besides their autism. Autism this, autism that, blah, blah, blah...

Hokay, it's not witty, but hey: I'm retired.

Amy is quite an expert in knitting from all the stuff I have read and spoken with her about.  She was quite fascinated when I told her that my wife was an expert knitter and seamstress and that Amber was getting proficient in knitting as well.  MAybe it's enough of a stim like thing that makes it attractive for some aspies.

So I've gathered. I don't mind her knitting, quite the contrary, but Callaway's remark was perfectly timed.
