I am starting to hate this site.

I said expectations because you brought it up and it seemed that you would maybe understand that better if I used that word instead. I guess I was wrong about that.

And where is it criticism? I asked a question since so far I have met deaf people who write quite well and learning disabled people who get at least sentence structure right despite having multiple spelling errors. Later I made some recommendations to try to aid the issues on hand, however that seemed to be completely disregarded and people then just see me as the person who said something bigoted, when he was actually just curious about whether the person was born and raised in Australia or had just recently (some time in the past five years) emigrated to Australia, as the situation didn't seem to completely add up for me. I cannot use sign language on a web forum.

Wilburforce, how the hell did I insult Berabera for crying out loud? You guys keep bringing up that I insulted people when you do not explain how! And I wasn't being a f*****g bully. Now f*****g explain this s**t to me because it is getting extremely frustrating for me to be constantly accused of things that people will not explain how their accusations can be valid!

I feel like you are being too sensitive to being corrected yourself, like I said nobody likes a grammar nazi!

If the person in question had just said, "yes, I was born and raised in Australia" we could have easily avoided this entire thing but nooooo, you turn it into some kind of ableism issue. Had I gotten a simple answer, I would have considered that their their disabilities may be severe enough to impair their ability to use a language. But to date, I have not received an answer to that damn question.

And I am reacting so intensely, because no other people manage to grind my gears more than aspies and the way aspies tend to act towards others and use their condition as a damn excuse for avoiding improvement, makes me ashamed to use the word aspie as a self description. I had been patient for so long, but there is no point to it when I tell people again and again a solution or hint such without them having to betray their ideals and it is just completely disregarded, because people are more focused on victimizing themselves and others than trying to find actual solutions. This is why so far I only get along well with two auties, who themselves despite being unemployed, still volunteer to bring solutions to issues between society and autistic people. You are not a damn victim and not everyone is going to do everything for you.

When someone says "I didn't notice you were autistic." My response is usually: "Thank you! I worked very hard to improve my ability to socialize even though I hate socializing because I cannot just rely on others."

Oh yeah, go ahead and just say that I am the only one making assumptions. Anagram, you gave me the ultimate reason to leave this site FOREVER

well, then let me, for one, say:

Genuine question, not trying to stir it, just really asking, how do you know that the member on that other thread whose grammar was bad was "avoiding improvement" and using his disabilities as an excuse? We don't even know that for sure; for all any of us know, perhaps he had tried very hard to improve his writing skills and they used to be much worse than what he posted. There's no way of knowing that from the few bits of information he gave. You kind of got mad at him based not on what he can or cannot do properly but on what you assume he never tried to do properly.

I'm getting sh!t from someone else about the concept of assumptions but yeah that was an assumption you made on not much information to go by, that's all I'm thinking, speaking for myself.

BirdInFlight, now you are piecing two separate instances together that do not belong together. Last rant was about how sh***y the aspie communities have felt to me, not just WP but also on FB.

I never said that the poster from the other thread was avoiding improvement. The only thing I had to do with Berabera was a simple question that wasn't answered because other people thought they could speak for him.

I requested this thread to be locked.

I just want to say I posted last before it's locked...nice ASCII finger btw, lol.

edit: and that was sincere, that is a NICE ASCII finger.

^ still on fire!

Thanks Aristophanes. I am an ASCII artist btw who attends demoscene events.

oh i thought you had just copy-pasted it. so you did draw it yourself? i have to agree then, it is nicely done
