Do you think the national anthem should be done away with? And if so why?

One that was not based on a British drinking song of the Anacreontic Society would be better.

I suppose you're an autistic who takes what's said 100% literally and therefore can't tell when someone is being sarcastic or facetious and doesn't get what a rhetorical question is.

I suppose you are one of those neurotypicals who believe everyone else should automatically know what you mean without any indication from you of your actual intent.

Do you often end your sentences with prepositions?

I'm far from being neurotypical.

Then it would be helpful if you would include some indication of sarcastic intent where apprpriate.

I can't think of anyone on this or any other autism forum I've been on who would've taken me seriously. I get the impression your obstacle was more a result of jumping to conclusions.

Do you often blame and ridicule your victims?

You're too savvy, sardonic and erudite to be a victim in this instance.

His autism is very selective that way, isn't it? It functions as both a sword and shield; when he's being a jerk that's just his blunt style, but when you call him out on it, that's you picking on a poor disabled guy, which is a pretty neat trick if you can get away with it.

	This mess has gone on long enough. Please note that attacks on groups of people are against the rules, so therefore the remarks about autistic people, and likewise those about NTs, are offensive. This is a support site where people can feel at home and discuss things respectfully, not a school playground. Thread locked.
