| This is totally disgusting that this is happening, but hardly new news. All we can do is bombard the email addresses of the Autism Speaks people, the Judge Rotenberg Center people, the CAN people, the FEAT people, and all the rest of them with positive emails about autistics, and if you don't have i... |

| The way to teach children charity, or empathy, or forgiveness, or love, or respect, or manners, or tact, is not to try to force the child to have any of that for other people (which is impossible anyway, and bad for the child) but to do the opposite: be charitable towards them, empathize with them, ... |

| Oh, dear. I think he must be in some pain if even his own people are ignoring him. I can probably feel his pain, because I've been ostracised by Aspies too (like at another Aspie site). And my Aspie boyfriend has told me how inappropriate I am and I sometimes feel that he wants to show off how much ... |

| I don't think I thought about that, Aoi. I now have a theory. I think that perhaps those people think they're right because they're the majority and they remember the same thing with their bad memories, even though we're actually right even though we're the minority, because our memories are better ... |

I always wonder if they really think that or if they're just saying that to make me upset and then I think, if it's the latter, is it to make other peo... |

| I hate it when parents and teachers tell a child that he will continue to be punished unless he says ''I'm sorry'' for something he isn't sorry for. It's like they think he's a monster because he doesn't see things the same way they do or have the same opinions or values. He will end up hiding his f... |

| Instead of worrying about infringing on the rights of the people who own, run and support places like the Judge Rotenberg Center, they should storm that place and do whatever it takes to get those students (prisoners) out. They should put the prisoners first. And if the law fails to do it, we should... |

| This phrase bothers me, because it makes it sound like nobody cares about us but our parents, that our parents are all we have because we're too socially inept to make friends or get a boyfriend or girlfriend, let alone get married, and that we definitely don't have children, and that even our sibli... |
