Those who say people don't have AS just because they have succeeded in their life or they go to parties or go to bars, have a partners, etc. are asses IMO. I think they're just jealous because an aspie is having something they can't have or don't have, so what do they do about it, say "You don't have AS" or "He/she doesn't have AS."
Heather on the top American Super Model show got that crap on WP. She saw all that and mentioned it in her blog. She never replied to any of the posts.

I have an aspie friend who likes going to a bar and drinks and he also loves going to his favorite sport games in his town and another aspie saw the picture he posted with him at the game and told him he wasn't an aspie because no aspie would go to a sports game he said. What a jerk. Glad I stopped talking to him. He was a pain in the ass on the forum we all went to and then he left and the forum was less active because he created dramas and had arguments with one of the mods. I may like them but him, he was hell annoying and I didn't care he had left.

The term for them is "Uber Aspies" or "Aspier-than-thou".  (My invention :green: )  The forum worlds are full of them.  It's the same type of peer pressure and ridicule that we complain about NT's using on us.  I like going to a bar once in a while, of course it's only certain type of bars that I can tolerate.  I liked going to sports games too, that is when time and effort allows.  Anywho I have no tolerance for those who say, "Those who don't act like this are frauds", "People who don't think like us are frauds". 

So what are we complaining about NT's for???   ::)

Very clever and appropriate.

Hey, it's a good thing they have not identified a genetic component or some of us might actually have autistic children.

Then, what the hell would we do?

I wonder who my daughter got it from?

Couldn't be me, since I'm married to her dad.

I couldn't have gotten it from my dad, since he was married to my mom.

 :laugh:


Seriously, Richard, we are all the same in some ways and all different in others.  Just because some of us are married or have children or attend parties, that does not mean that we don't have our own set of challenges to deal with.  Saying that married people can't have AS would be kind of like saying that anyone who has had sex can't have AS and you know that's not true.


I like Ozymandias' invention, "Aspier-than-thou."

I don't want to name names, but there was this guy we knew who said that everyone who was not exactly like him in every way was a "fake aspie."

He was kind of funny, in a way.  I wonder where he got his credentials for diagnosing people with AS, especially over the internet.

hm, yeah i believe you. you dont see me attacking his suposid "arseburgers" he has? your not this dumb and are trying to act dumb. you fail miserably clique boy

I doubt it would hurt your credibility in this matter if you used the actual labels, such as "AS", "Asperger", or simply "autism".

Uhm, well i guess we can continue arguing about how your not trying to act dumb and like your not in the webmonkey click if you want, frankly i think the point is already made though :hahaha:

But, but wait a minute!

I want to be in your clique.

 :eyelash:

If I dis' Odeon by calling him a Swede, would that get me in or do I have to be diagnosed?

*slap*

ok lets get one thing streight here. i dont know HOW many times i have to do this or say this, but this is gonna be the last fuckin time. i am not jelouse of anyone who is higher functioning living with aspergers, frankly i think its cool if people can live sucsessfully with it. but honestly i dont think everyone here has arseburgers. this is my opinion, and since i like feeding off peoples insecurites wich is what your allowing me to do everyone, you would think you would get it. but no! and if you do have arseburgers why do you care what i think? it only makes me moar suspicious of your diagnosis if you argue otherwise




:yawn:

Do you have an actual point hidden somewhere?

Well his idea of the "cliques" thing was funny.

Easy mistake to make seeing people like each other and assuming them in a clique. Especially if you have never have never had any experience of being in a clique......or liked for that matter

 :lol: :asthing:
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

So what are we complaining about NT's for???   ::)

Amuses the shit out of me. perhaps those who fit the narrow list of permitted activities and abilities approved by the ubers should be classed as ATs (Autietypicals) so that those of us who are more variable in our abilities/luck/willingness to stick our necks out aren't so easily confused with Real Aspies/Autistics.  :police:


Anyway, none of you are really autistic. Except me, obviously. *thread officially dead*

But mindless is right. ;D
