Is English your second language I assume so by by your comments and lack of good English skills, maybe you are misdiagnosed and not being female do not know how feamle aspies are different you need to read about Temple Grandin and then decide, I score fairly high on the aspie scales maybe Autistic but extremely functional as to the social skills.
It all depends on how you were brought up, personally not into the kinky stuff and well groomed.

i also have pretty normal social skills i understand and use properly facial expressions etc... oh and the hygeine (sp) mine is immpecable. my real aspie friend however his is DEPLORABLE! never cleans his room takes a shower or brushes his teeth and smells like feces oh and he farts in peoples faces and thinks it is acceptable and he asks me why he can't get a gf and i just have to lie through my teeth. which brings me to another point i do indeed have empathy and eye contact and conversational skills i was also told by 2 psychologists and my aspie friend that i don't have it so does this discredit my diagnosis? you tell me! :?:



You walk into a room full of people who all share a disability and start slamming them with bizarre accusations and ridiculous blanket stereotypes, even insinuating that as a direct result of their disability they're all filthy and disgusting animals and you think you have adequate social skills? :roll:

Either you have a serious dysfunction in your ability to know how to behave and communicate appropriately in social groups, or you're a troll.



I found her comments to be quite ignorant myself and even a bit sadistic. I just didn't want to say anything about it at first. What might be a positive difference for some people is a profound disability for others. There's really no "lolz" about it either way. Nobody asked to be born on the spectrum regardless of how blessed some feel because they were. As for the stereotypes....they were about as ridiculous as anything Archie Bunker ever said about blacks, hispanics, women, etc...

Making a mockery of the inborn or unwillingly aquired characteristics of others has to be one of the dumbest, most pointless and contemptible behaviors there is. It really suggests some very ugly things about those who engage in it. This sort of mean-spiritedness is common enough among sadistic sociopaths and perhaps it would now be fair to wonder if the OP is one. After all...the OP's implication IS that everyone with AS is a filthy and disgusting animal. So I guess EVERYONE who takes mild amusement in the misfortunes of others is a sadistic sociopath eh?
