I clicked that link and I don't get it. It was just a topic of a lot of people being mean. What's their problem? It appears totally pointless to me, but sadly, I see that happen a lot. Not to me because I only post in forums when I've made sure that they’re mainly inhabited by nice people, but it is... |

I've been bullied by more than one teachers. The worst case was in nith grade. My science teacher repeatedly told me I was an idiot. Just because I asked questions he couldn't answer. He said he was a great teacher and I was stupid for not realizing that. And then he said that I had actually realize... |

I'm playing Earthbound right now. I'm in Fourside, and so far, it's great. It's very different from the typical JRPG. I wish they would make another one and actually bring it to Europe. have you gotten to moonside yet? it's one of my favorite pieces of music in the soundtrack...not to mention one o... |

One person I knew insisted on that camels carries water in their humps. I told him they don't really store water in those things. He asked me, speaking to me like I was the idiot, just how did I think they could possibly be able to survive in the desert without water in their humps. He also insisted... |

You mean autistics can only say their name and have flat personalities? That is not true. |

Same thing goes for Aspergers. It's just a severe form of left-handedness. But that analogy assumes that it's not possible that AS is just a pattern of symptoms that can go against natural personality and that it can be disabling the person as a whole no matter whether the environment is ASD friend... |

It's both, but I would put it as a disorder because of the fact that the negatives about it far outweigh the positives. There are problems involved with it, and people who say otherwise just don't want to admit that they have problems. How do you know? They must have had a problem with it to get a ... |

I am 17 and I have very little "sexual urges". I am not completely asexual, but I'm much closer to it than most people. I'm just not very interested in sex, even if I don't think I'd exactly dislike it. I might even enjoy it. I just feel like I don't need it. Many people act like sex is really impor... |

To me, AS is just another way of being. Sure it is a disability sometimes, otherwise we wouldn't get the diagnosis. But I think NT's are just as disabled, most of them don't know about it. Because the world is built so that they aren't handicaps. I mean being left-handed can be a disability if you w... |

No sorry. That's a typo. I was going to write wouldn't. I wouldn't think of myself as superior.
EDIT: Actually, I checked my message. I don't think I misstyped, you just chose to cut out one part, so it looks like I said something else. |

I guess I haven't been around for long enough, so I haven't noticed this yet. But it's horrible if it's true. Well I see AS as a form of autism, but even if I didn't it wouldn't mean I would think of myself as superior to autistics. Because I think that attitude is just stupid. And I really think th... |

"That's because you're male."
Girls like to tell me that about a lot of my autisticness. But I haven't told anyone I'm autistic yet. Not because I'm ashamed but because noone's asked, and I don't want to make it sound like I'm using it as an excuse or something. |

I thought the reason they dubbed disney movies were because they were for kids. If I were to go and watch a Disney movie I would chose to watch the subbed version. Although I guess that's not exactly the same, since I don't need the subs to understand English. Blood pressure rising... Walt Disney's... |

Well, I'd rather read a book than listen to a horrible dub. You have to admit though, that there is a big difference between reading a book and watching a TV show. I'm not saying which is better, but it's different. |

I can't see why anyone would chose to watch the dubs. They're horrible. I mean unless you have some disability that makes reading difficult, then of course I can see why someone would chose to watch the dubs. |
