Ive come across enough trolls and stalkers on YouTube I have to chase off I dont want ones from Twitter and Facebook on me as well!


I don't believe we are talking about trolls but people who are NT's but believe they are Aspie because they think being an aspie makes one special, smart, and hip. Also people that feel sorry for themselves.

I think they might just be trying to conceptualize their identity and put their behaviour into a framework that makes sense. At least some of them. And I'll bet many of them aren't even thinking of the people who will read their tweets. Do you really expect them to be aware of how they're coming across or having a social "image"? Some people on the spectrum can't think that way at all.

I say, let them be. They're probably just monologuing and adding their tweet to their already existent sea of Aspie tweets. :)

Good question, I am not sure, I can't tell anything about them except the behavioural traits that I described. If you are on Twitter I can discretely pass their names on to you to see for yourself.


That won't be necessary. :)

discreetly** ?

Guaranteed, these self obsessed super-autistics are not even diagnosed.

Could even be an elaborate propaganda machine for Autism Awareness Month as all I know.


Okay, so the first one: How are they super autistics? Using twitter to disseminate links to their writing is pretty much like a large number of other people who use twitter.

The second one: Autism Speaks is going to have false flag autistics posting about how cool it is to be autistic as propaganda to drive their "autism is a scourge upon the face of humanity" message?
Huh just cynical sarcasm on my end really. :wink:

I have a twitter account (and facebook) but rarely use them.

Who are these tweeters?

I must confess, I too can get too caught up with Norny's "Special Snowflakes" and create a pit filled up to the top with nothing but Autism and more Autism; it's on Instagram not TWIT-er but, I must add that I do indeed have an account, I only post "normal" things though.

(Speaking of normal, it's usually made up of severed hands, things that can just disgust others)
