Ignored.

Pitied, hated or disrespected suggest that someone is thinking about me or judging me. I don't like the idea of being the focus of someone else's attention to the extent that they form an opinion about me, especially people who hardly know me. I much prefer being ignored.

mightyzebra, I totally agree with that order.

Pitied
Ignored
Hated
Disrespected

I would probably prefer to be ignored, but I'll add one thing more--I would rather be hated, pitied, ignored or disrespected for what I am, and not what you think I am. Which implies you have to understand me first before you should hate, pity, ignore or disrespect me.

I voted "ignored", but, come to think of it, being pitied might have its advantages.

I would always rather be ignored so I can do my own thing.

I dunno, but I just had to say that I find your avatar to be quite creative.

I sometimes feel disrespected here on WP.

I'd rather escape from Aspie, and am so happy I have - http://unlearningasperger.blogspot.com/ - maybe you could too?
Very best JC

What have you said that led people here on WP to act in such a way that seemed as though they were being disrespectful to you?

The only time I don't care for being ignored is when I am directly addressing someone. Otherwise, the option is MUCH preferable to any of the other options listed. Mostly I prefer people don't contemplate me much at all.

If I'm being hated, pitied or disrespected, I would rather be ignored.

Ignored. it doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather go through real life without drawing attention to myself.

You might be understood by other aspies, but I'm not sure you'll ever be fully understood by NTs.

Well if you're pitied people are at least nice to you... right?
