2. Some WP members are content with their social lives. Others are not. Can we accept both as facts? |

| I'm not controlled by my parents but my parents live 2 streets away from me and my NT mum's greatest misery was leaving her home town & her greatest happiness about the last couple years is coming back to the same county as her dad. She lives with him two nights a week. I think what is missing ... |

| It is already happening. How? Stats dont look too good many ASD are very isolated and underemployed When you say "stick together" do you mean in person or simply communicating on issues and share a similar strategy in approaching situations? I'm guessing he moreso means supporting each ot... |

| Btw if this would happen it would create its own culture and probably around hobbies you consider 'weird'. Who cares if they're 'weird' if they bring other people happiness? All cultures do things which would be considered weird by other culture's standards. There would be new norms, aspie norms. N... |

| For someone who doesn't like licking NT boot you sure as f**k don't understand that those kinds of studies are done on NTs. Autistic people are self contained. It's not my fault if your family don't love you enough to be enough for you. Enjoy the super spreader events you're planning. I am talking ... |

| I love the idea of ASD folk sticking together, but it's not going to work in the physical sense, those few of us interested in the idea would be too thin in the ground. Banding together through the internet would be more realistic. What I've noticed on WP though is that we tend to be highly individ... |

| While 7 out of 10 days I am happy to be diagnosed (knowing why I'm odd, that it is OK, and that there are others like me), about 3 out of every 10 days I find it depressing. I discussed why with my therapist and I told her I always thought there would be something in my life (enough academic or car... |
