Early early this morning, one of my aspie buddies and I were chatting and we were talking about aspie forums and he said he doesn't go to them because all they do is bitch and moan about their condition and about how bad NTs are to them. I told him they don't do it here because it's not a support forum.
I used to see that a lot when I was 17 and 18 and because I got tired of it, I lost interest in the places and left. I was tired of them making excuses about their condition and refusing to try and cope and change by learning how to adapt by working on skills like flexibility. I even realized they wanted special rules too. I know lot of us here are tired of that.
Anyone agree the aspies forums are still like that?

WP is full of crap like that
From what I've seen, AFF seems to be the worst though
It annoys me
Some people with AS are assholes, some NTs are good people. Blaming NTs for everything is stupid. I used to do that, when I first found out I had AS. Then I realised what a twat I was. Actually, still am, but not as bad :P

I agree. I am just a guilty as they are because I did the same thing when I was in my teens. I wanted special rules, special treatment, thought I could get special rules simply because I saw that a lot growing up and now I was seeing it online about autism. I realize now that bullying isn't an NT thing, it's human but I still play that card just to piss them off even though I know they aren't NT but say it anyway to get them all riled up. I still will point out they are giving me the same crap NTs gave me since so many of them complain about how bad NTs are but they turn around and do it themselves.

Yeah I think a lot of people with AS get like that when they're younger, or when they first get diagnosed. Not all, but quite a lot I've seen. It's probably a reaction to bullying by people who did happen to be NT in school etc. As long as we grow out of that attitude and realise it was wrong though, I don't think it matters. Problem is, a lot of people on those sites carry on with the anti-NT stuff all the time. And never accept that they might be wrong.

I find it acceptable in kids and teens but when grown ups do it, it's disgusting.
Not saying it's okay for kids to use their disability as an excuse, they just don't know any better so a grown up needs to step in and teach them having a disability doesn't give them any excuses. Thats one of the reasons why some parents don't even tell their kids at a young age they have a condition. They might wait till they're in their teens or adult to tell them or some find out on their own and then their parents tell them.

I got tired of a lot of the NT bashing going on in other forums. After awhile it just gets old. Yeah, a little bitching is good for the soul, but to continually blame others for your problems is not the way to solve problems.
-
"Oh poor me I'm an aswipe why can't normal people accept me like I am they are so mean...."
Yeah I know what you mean

Had a kinda funny RL situation shedding light on it all.
While saying goodbye to a band I love, I asked them
to come out to breakfast. They all came, and it
was really sweet. But, I realized that I probably
could have hung out with them before, and
become friends - real friends, if only I hadn't
remained so damned aloof.
We have to make some effort too.

Anyone agree the aspies forums are still like that?
Basically yes.
It's a lot easier to blame other people than to take responsibility for ones own predicament.

Timelord sounds like to be that kind of person. It's easier for him to blame his problems on NTs.

I'm going to bitch about my condition, now.
I have sat in this fucking chair so long this afternoon, that I can't tell where my ass ends and the chair starts. I think that my fucking chair is actually going numb. I'm going to get up, scratch my chair a bit and try to find out what I can do to change this, before my ass also begins to take on the shape of my chair.
Why is it always the crack of the chair that itches the worst?
:GA:
-
You need to oil your chair's crack.

Questioning things leads to greater understanding.

Yes, reasons why I ask questions is because I want to understand something, make sure I understand something, want to hear someone's thought or opinion, want to see what they say, see if they have the right answer, make sure I am right about something. I may even ask questions about someone so I would know more about them. Sometimes I even ask questions I already know the answer too but I just want to see if the other person knows.

Being wrong teaches us something, makes us stronger.
-
Well I hate being wrong. Makes me feel stupid and when I am not sure about something, I never say I am right about it.

Its kind of unavoidable, I mean, no one could know everything. You have things which your good at, and as long as your not as perfect as alex, then your ok. He is so perfect, he may never see what is right in front of him :laugh:
-
You're right but when I am not sure about something I always say 'I think' or "I'm not sure" etc. because I don't want people to think I'm lying or even think I'm dumb. I'm pretty rigid when it comes to facts.

So is my mom, she would argue with me over when a pizza place is open to get a free pizza, but then I use a generalization to shut it down. Generalizations are generally right. :laugh:

Sorry, but I don't want mustard plaster, antifungal, bug balm, deodorant, live culture, herbal extract, yarrow root poultice, mentholated, insecticidal or "whatever the fuck else it is" cum in my mouth.
Thanks for thinking of me though.

No I didn't, you silly sausage. I've already explained this several times but here it is again: Randy was getting his profile altered by someone *coughCoralcough* so we suggested to him that he changed his password. which he did, and promptly forgot. we have offered to reset the password on his old account for him, but he has so far not taken us up on the offer. :toporly:
