I think you're attractive. :wink:


I think you're attractive, also. Not "average looking" at all.

:oops:

You have the short/dark hair combo. I find that extremely attractive on a woman. Oh, and I like your snake! ;)

Thanks :D And, yes, Reticulated Pythons are, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful species of snake. That's one reason why they're my favorite : :D

I don't think that's what the OP was suggesting...

I think the OP was simply asking for people to submit pics of themselves insofar as they compared to typical social norms regarding beauty... and yes, the OP probably wanted pics that defied the stereotypes... but what's wrong with that? I think the whole point was that aspies CAN defy the stereotypes and be beautiful while doing so... while the topic might be a little misleading, I don't see how the entire thread suggests that those stereotypes are "somehow not...beautiful"... I think you're making that part up yourself.


no I was responding to what buryuntime said...
Quote:
I do not understand this thread. How does hand flapping or slouching or twitching exempt someone from being beautiful? Most people can prevent from doing this in a single picture anyway, and most people with autism DO flap their hands and have odd gait.

As for weight, seems to me it's just a common stereotype that computer nerds are either obese or very skinny. Asperger's is seen with, computers.
and it seems the OP specifically wanted pics of aspies who fell into the realm of conventional beauty sterotypes


in response to the original post...

Quote:
So the stereotype is that aspies are wrist-flapping slouching twitchy weirdos, anorexic thin or morbid obese.

But it seems to me the spectrum can't be without some cute but troubled pretty boys with Byronic sharp features or classicaly beautiful young lasses

Post pics of these people and discuss

And what's wrong with that? Like I said, the whole point is that aspies CAN defy the stereotypes of conventional beauty regardless of their situation.... I don't think the OP was meaning to intentionally exclude anyone in particular with the request...

W/r/t your edited post, I think the intention of the OP in the latter part of his/her post was a challenge to transcend the very stereotype that you're describing... It's not an objectification like you're trying to suggest.

I know that there was an Aspie on America's Next Top Model, or something like that.

I started not feeling so sure...

Anywhoo...I don't feel like arguing....Of course aspies can defy the sterotypes...I do...
there are a lot of threads like this one...I just want to hop out of this particular one.

She's really pretty.

As a pretty woman though I don't think AS would affect her much on any substantial romantic level in terms of relationships considering that men are usually expected to make the initial advance.

I do feel that it would vary from person to person.
