Is this the reality of life for many Aspies?

Socrates has been invited, but obviously it would be challange for him, given the circumstances.

ah, but we live in a multi-demensional continuum. so who knows? I wonder if Professor Simply Double-Barrelled will be there? #2 of the positives of autism is the lack of shame of social disapproval; at public meetings this leads to things being said, that must be said. There's a battle to save lives going on. This isn't a time for philosophers; This is the time for "hitting people" issues.

to all of you taking this seriously; your collective legs, which he's succeeded in pulling...

this is British Humor...which can be a bit snarky at times, (polyshite university?... There may be elements of truth here...but it's just riffing on us.

Mmmm, but I think the Nurse Ludmilla Lurch sounds authentic- grrr!

I think the 99.8% percentile intelligence thing, is going to make things seem a little screwy. It's not difficult to track the real location down. Why doesn't someone invite him over? If he's not having "Hitting People" issues, that is.

And why should this be so, when billions are spent in the UK on health and social care?

Speaking of no money and all that, I just found out that I've lost 20 pounds in the last year from not having much money for food.

LCH, This whole thing is crazy. Something's got to be done. Society's still in the dark ages when it comes to autism.

If it is any consolation, you don't have to be Autie/Aspie to be in poverty.

It is actually. Strangely enough. It would suck if you were the only poor person... in the whole world.

I need to say this. I don't think I've said it yet anywhere. Gotta say it:
Being on welfare long-term is like living in a concentration camp. I feel like I'm trying to dig my way out with a spoon. The army isn't coming.

I wish I could lose weight on welfare. Unfortunately I'm getting fat on junk food because it's cheaper and it keeps me doped up enough to stay sane. Worried about heart disease/stroke.

I can identify with the 99.8%ile IQ bit. I've been a member of a couple of 99.9%ile IQ societies. Except I wouldn't call myself Socrates. Dunno what I'd call myself.

I do think the day-to-day reality is being swept under the carpet by some people in the autistic community, in denial about what it's really like for the majority. I use to be one of them. For which I can only apologize publicly.
