I have no idea who those guys are, didn't really watch Startrek. But I can easily name quite a few aliens who are very human-like in behavior despite being completely alien in appearance: Yoda, E.T., Wall-E, etc, etc.
Hell, even the Predator - he behaves in the same way as many people do, and he even laughs.

Maybe I cherry pick or focus in on one thing.

Yoda - Strange prosody he doth have
Wall-E - Mutism
E.T. - Echolalia - "E.T E.T E.T E.T. E.T"
Predator - Echolalia "Over here"

Well, they are aliens after all. But their behavior in other aspects is perfectly NT.

I'll have to agree with you for now until I watch those films again and do a proper armchair diagnosis of them

The condition of the people with Spectrum is like the condition of African Americans after the civil war. Sure we have "rights" but that's not enough. When you have a society of hypocrite bigots who will judge you for being autistic then "rights" are useless. The entire mindset of NT on people with Autism Spectrum or non NT must change.

Hi, Grammar Geek.

Maybe you are a Disability Rights Activist.

Get a grip. On a history book. No one is lynching aspies. There are no special laws enforced against us.

I find your comparison disgusting.

There is individual acts of violence against autistics and filicide against us too often excused. But unlike after civil war against blacks, there is no organized violence supported by governments.

The First KKK

Quote:

The Klan primarily performed heinous crimes against African Americans, especially those running for office in the South. In addition, many white Republicans and sympathizers were also targets of Klan violence. It is estimated that the KKK performed over 3500 racially-motivated lynchings in the South between 1865 and 1900. Furthermore, white Republicans who sympathized with African Americans, decried as “carpetbaggers” and “scalawags,” were frequently attacked.
Democrats relied on the Klan to secure election victories, as Klansmen oftentimes threatened or killed competing Republican candidates. Many southern Republicans actually abandoned their campaigns due to the inability to hold meetings and attract voters while living in constant fear.

Wrong. There is a lot of violence against us.

Wrong. For instance, Canada's immigration law bans immigration of autists and their family members.

Wow, I was unaware of the immigration laws. I had to look that up. That just makes me even angrier.

Does anyone know of any good disability rights organisations on this issue? I'm an autistic living in Melbourne. I'd like to volunteer for activism, but I don't know where to find it.

Canada does not ban aspies. They don't want any immigrants with excessively expensive medical conditions. It's not ASD discrimination.

Individual acts of violence don't compare to the terrorism practiced by the KKK. Lose the hysteria.

I think you are just ass hurt and being whiny no one is giving in to your white guilt and SJW mentality. If you were hoping I'd start thinking like you, too f*****g bad.

Conservatives think I am a "ret*d" and I have "hamburger syndrome" (I've actually been called this) and "assburgers" while liberals think I am a redneck despite how I hate them just as much as SJWs.

Marknis says No one is lynching aspies - Well, okay, not lynching as far as I know - but imprisoning them, attacking them and killing some and driving others to suicide - I was incarcerated in a storeroom all day, every day, at Nursery School and Infants School - and attacked four times a day every day for a week at Junior School until driven to try to kill myself and so being withdrawn by my parents from the state education system for neurotypicals, for my autism was regarded as a witch's curse, and every morning for a Grammar School year after being reinstated in the state education system for neurotypicals.
