Aspies finding difficult to follow social rules in the real world and it seems to be very similar when it comes to an online community, so in my view it is understandable some of them have been feeling frustrated, and how an aspie or autistic person copes with frustration?

So I think it is understandable the fear from some people that anything they might say it would cause trouble and perhaps getting banned.

In the case of Spokane_girl, it seems to me to be related to a degree of ignorance in some aspects (sexuality) which it might lead to misinterpretating the intention.

I wonder if there is some confusion between the two meanings of the word "adult".

1. There is "adult" as in grown up, no more fart jokes, poop jokes, snot jokes and other childish behavior.

2. Then there is "adult" as in "Adult Book Store" or "Adults Only".

Those two have very different protocols, and it sounds like our friend Spokane_Girl is thinking the second, when the first may be intended.

If Kink is allowed, I would think there would be a section clearly labeled. Otherwise, it's not good to ass-u-me. This is a very public forum with children (and childlike adults) reading. Kink is not universally appropriate subject matter.

Just a thought.

Very good points and that is something I wished I could have articulated when I first became upset about some of the subject matter in the adult forum. There's other websites that cater for kinky stuff so no need to put lots of it in WP. I believed that "adult" stuff was more along the lines of rude jokes and risque items rather than pron and endless descriptions of perverted practices.

I'm also disappointed in the common attitude I'm seeing where apparently very high functioning aspies are criticising others who are struggling in some way with sensory issues, socialisation issues, job issues and so on. There seems just about as much of a gulf between them and the somewhat lower functioning aspies as there is between NTs and us.

In fact, from some people, I notice even lower tolerance and lack of supportiveness towards typical aspie issues such as intolerance to loud noises, to having their items moved by other people in their workplace without their permission, finding it hard to get work, and similar.

Her third question is not permitted because the wrongplanet rules clearly state that discussion of excretory function is prohibited.

The thing that worried me a was about that being an unwritten rule (something that most here would find it hard to get) but if it is something clearly stated in the TOS that everyone can read than there is no problem.

I think there should be a specific posting guide for the Adult Area stating such things. I remember my thread about what you do with boogers. Heheh, that was... eventful.

Spamming and flaming. I apologised to whom I flamed though.

I don't wanna vomit. It's just mildly gross.

It tastes like chicken. When I have a runny nose, I sniff it back and it goes to my throat and I swallow it.

I think the only exception would be how to deal with haemorrhoids or constipation, but even then it'd be in Member's Only.
