If no one likes you because of your autism then that would mean that everyone with autism would have no fans.

I like you BTW KitLily

Oh no, I meant that no one likes me generally. Only a couple of people even know I've got autism, I don't tell anyone because it isn't important to me.

Thanks, I like you too!

Yeah….Kit is okay!

I like that she’s a good mum

Never get away from being decent just because others aren’t decent. You are above this pettiness.

Yes Babybird. It was in response to what you said. I screw up with the quote thing sometimes.

Nope. It’s because I’m technology-challenged

I find that hard to believe. You come across as having a good nature.

I'd say that in my real life for every one person who does like me there are maybe three who don't. I don't know if that's normal for people in general though.

I don’t mind straight-talking people.

What I dislike is people taking their crap out on me.

That's an interesting thing to say. I'm curious to learn what else other than language we could use to categorise something.

There’s probably nothing else.

Actions sometimes speak louder than verbal language.

I wonder if I'm just in a bad situation in real life, surrounded by horrible people.

I like that quote:
“Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not just surrounded by a55holes.”

:lol:

Some things I do are because of ASD I suppose. But it still doesn't make up entirely who I am. In fact most of the ASD sometimes makes me who I'm not. For example, when I used to have rage outbursts I felt it wasn't me, it was the AS. I can imagine myself being a more laid-back, easygoing person if it wasn't for the AS. I'm not saying all NTs are easygoing and laid-back, but me as an individual I think my personality has a lot of positive qualities but the AS makes me yell out things I don't mean and it makes me look like a bad person when I'm not. AS is like an emotional cancer to me. It's malignant and shouldn't be there. Not speaking for other people on the spectrum though, only myself.

Sounds like you dissociate yourself from the AS. Like as though it is somehow something separate to you. I can understand that.

I think I do a lot of things that a lot of autistic people can probably relate to. Does that mean that these things are typically autistic traits though or does it just mean that autistic people favour a certain way of doing things?
