Title: "My bad, I didnt think of it that way"
Post by: ZEGH8578 on June 16, 2011, 01:12:03 PM

it seems one of the most difficult thing to admit, especially on the internet.

just now, on another forum, a forum oldie argued with another autie i know there, telling him the same old arguments: i can work, then so can you. i dont need welfare, so you dont need it either. you should function like i do.
"but you arent autist" i explain

and then i explain these very fundamentalistic basics: everyones different allready, and autists are yet differenter - for the very reason: theyre autists. there IS more struggle, normal things ARE a bit more difficult.
she told me i was right, and that she was wrong in her assumptions.
i was baffled.

it gives me hope in mankind.

i notice that everywhere tho, people are terrified to be deemed as "wrong", because they think it threatenes everything they stand for, which it doesnt.
giving someone else the right, which i have done myself, when deemed appropriate, is a relieving situation, and more people should do it :D

For aspies there is no excuse for even getting a basic job, it is difficult but it can be done. As evidenced here, some even have decent jobs and even their own families. For full on spazzy autistics who are literally retarded, that's another story.

I can admit I'm wrong, but I do admit my ego and arrogance does make it difficult to say. It's mostly due to my argumentative nature and I normally don't stop regardless if I appear like an idiot.

Step 10 of AA
 Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.  

Yep, it means walking and living with one less burden, fear and complication in your life that you don't have to eat, drink or otherwise addict over.
