| Love Your Enemies (Matthew 5:38-40)Not only are Christians supposed to be peaceful , they're also supposed the let others slap the snot out of them and rob them blind. No, we're supposed to be selfless. "Turning the other cheek" is a historical reference to people slapping folks from the side. Turn... |

| You turn the other cheek when it concerns yourself, but take the sword out when questions of faith are at stake. Surprisingly, these are very hard guidelines to follow because it's so much easier to do it the other way around. |

| Precisely once. I put effort into not reacting to it at all, as if it didn't happen to me, and it never continued. Facing explicit disrespect outside and after school has been a normal thing; I've been working on myself to minimise such occurrences. |

Could not obtain topic watch information
Another popular one it seems. This one appears after every post.
Aren't we supported by Autism Speaks? Maybe they could contribute technical assistance to this forum. I kid, I kid. But honestly, these errors really exhaust me as an autistic. |

One of my oldest friends, who had also been the best man at my wedding, had lived the greater part of his life pretending to be st... |

I don't deny that some disposition exists which results in a similar percentage of gay people across the globe, but it seems that there are noticeable fluctuations depending on the environment. Value systems, laws etc. - they all ... |

| If an autistic is too attractive, their appearance could deceive others into thinking they would be a good partner. Possibly a really good thing for many people, but I usually stay away from forming relationships so as not to hurt people, since I'm too concerned about their well-being to connect the... |

| I read the title as "gay abortion". I guess that's one trouble gay people don't have to worry about? There is absolutely no evidence that the sexuality of parents affects the sexuality of children. Otherwise no homosexual children would come from heterosexual parents. It doesn't have to be a 100% gu... |

| If Christ had said nothing of homosexuality, surely he must have been in full agreement about the stance on the subject at the time. Doesn't necessarily mean we should make the same conclusions out of it that modern fundamentalists do. Same for slavery ... subjugation of women as second-class citiz... |

| Be it emailing, instant messaging or phone calls (not to mention visiting someone in person), I always find the initiative to contact people to be terribly hard and would rather not do it at all. Casual emailing can be effortless sometimes, though, but most of the time hardly so. I'm also really loo... |

| Do they ever give you any gifts or money when you don't ask for it? Usually it's a thing that's left unstated that the sides are aware of, or at least expected to be aware. |

I have always sounded very excited when talking about the things I am interested in or enjoy, my intonation is rather rich (partly as a result of some years of training) and I like putting on different voices.
Does this put my aspieness to doubt? Heh, aspieness is a funny word.  |
