knowing is a choice you make. I simply point out that it could cause unnecessary drama
i still do not understand why you say "drama." maybe it is because everyone thinks "autistic" is somehow an offensive label and in fact there are no autistics or something. well it is a real disorder, a real problem that i struggle with every day. it's only the truth. it's like saying "i have a cold." except a cold doesn't last a lifetime, and it doesn't affect every aspect of your life. is it inappropriate for us to exist?
I dont bash autism, nor have anything against it. Southperry.net on the other hand doesnt all have mature users and posters. While some are, some are not. If you do believe that you can seek answers here, then by all means go ahead.
you can't empathise with that, because you have never been there. no offense.. it is just true. So, obviously, that is why we want to find more like us (because other autistics HAVE been there). if you became paralysed from the waist down, you'd want to find more people like yourself too. am finding it bizarre that people would say "please don't post about yourselves, we don't want to know about it" when people do it constantly on forums.
Perhaps you should give a bit of faith to mutual respects. You have a condition and I sympathise it doesnt mean I NEED TO BE IN YOUR SHOE to know that you have a condition. Everybody go through difficulties of some degrees and I have mutual understanding and sympathy for each and everyone of them, just like you can always appreciate a good meal yet you dont know how to cook.
(is there some unwritten rule, that autistics alone of all people in the world are not allowed to seek out others like themselves on forums? seems illogical to me, but maybe there is some social nuance that have missed)
again, seek out at your own device. I have alot of faith in the mods here, but as mentioned before, there're also lots of people who arnt mature too
if you are not autistic, no need to post, there is no desire to count you. no offence is intended. i just want to know if there are other autistics around.
as requested, this is my only and last reply
