In my opinion, autistics, specifically aspies, have to unite to reach our maximum potential as leaders of the world. It is our job as aspies to guide the neurotypicals. We are the next stage in evolution, therefore we are superior in every way. The problem is, we cannot reach our status as leaders if we keep fighting over what's right and wrong. So, instead of arguing with me, why don't we all hold the other's hand and fight towards our destiny.

No. Autistic people are hard to get along with and have lots of social problems.

I agree with you 100% on that. But I'm not asking us to socialise, but to simply unite. We contribute to the cause in our own special way, not in a way specified by the majority. We are a diverse community, with members from other communities. But we have to set aside our differences and focus on what we have in common. That is all I'm asking.

Also, on the "social problems" part, I don't really see them as problems.

Society sets the rules on what is considered sociable or not, not nature. I don't get how not conforming to these rules is considered anti-social. And if we're talking about benefits, I believe my "anti-sociability" helps to cultivate individualism and critical thinking, seeing how I don't surround myself with people of the typical cattle mindset.

Individual is the opposite of society.

I'm in favor of political unity for the purposes of erasing stereotypes and stigmas. Perhaps for research funding.

So...

Do you Tiger fans think that they have a chance in the ASEAN games against Indonesia this year?

That is true. I didn't say it wasn't. Society can't exist without the individual and vice versa. Same as how light can't exist without dark, black can't exist without white, and yin can't exist without yang. It's all about finding the right balance to achieve harmony.

Just because aspies have "social problems", doesn't mean they can survive on their own. Who's going to make the food that they buy? Or build the facilities that they use? The same thing applies to neurotypicals. Who's going to guide them to a better future? Who is going to teach them? Will there be a purpose to us, as the evolved, if we have nothing and nobody to lead?

I don't really pay attention to sports

Okay.

But are you really from Kuala Lampur (the capital of Malaysia)?

Or did you just pull that place name at random when you filled out the Wrongplanet membership form ?

yes, I really am from KL. It might seem really un-Malaysian of me to not get involved with sports, but I'm autistic first, Malaysian second (that doesn't mean I don't have national pride though).

That's understandable. Am not into sports much either.

You said we would make good leaders. I don't see why not, but I certainly don't think we would be superior in that way. It would be a challenge to overcome. Autistic supremacy is just as bad as white supremacy.

Tbh I don't see how giving people self-confidence and pride in what they are is bad. In my opinion, it's a fact that aspies and HFAs are superior to neurotypicals and LFAs, due to our trait of having special interests and naturally high intelligence. But, that's just my opinion, and who am I to force it on you? I'll let you do you as long as you let me do me.

Clearly you do not understand the Theory of Evolution: you might think you understand it, but you do not.

A contradiction. It is either your opinion or a fact; and while it may be your opinion that is is a fact, the distinction still needs to be made.

Evidence, please?

Just because you have the right to freely speak you opinions, that does not grant you the right to make up your own "facts". :roll:
