10 things not to do on wp

Post Reply New Topic

Rag relentlessly on people of a certain group.
Overreact when there is a misunderstanding. It amazes me that we realize most here are autistic, but at the same time we don't really register that.

Make an account just to ask everyone else to help you understand you Aspie boyfriend, when the issue doesn't relate to autism at all...

Join here and post about the abuse your parents did and blame it on autism

Post here about your kid doing domestic violence to your child and to you and how she won;t let you leave the room and how you both have to lock yourselves in a bedroom and she pounds on the door trying to knock it down to get to you guys and blame it on autism and call them meltdowns and doing child abuse by refusing to put that kid in a hospital to protect your other kid (seriously I have wondered if this person is a troll so that is another reason why I don't read her threads anymore and I have thought about asking the mods to check into it to see if this person is genuine but I haven't bothered Now that person has posted about her kid being sexually abused by another aspie. Whatever.)

Post rape jokes

Say most women like to be forced to have sex to justify rape and forcing women to have it

Ban members for what they post on other forums

Expect members to follow WP rules on other forums as a mod and then ban them

Join here and post your negative view on aspies

Create different accounts just to mess with the mods and pretend to be obtuse about how you broke the rules here

Generalize aspies

Keep on spamming the forum with the same posts over and over with "welcome to WP" or "Sweet pea hugs"

Keep on posting cat threads asking dumb questions like "Does your cat play tennis"

Posting a thread called "if you became Hitler"

Posting a poll asking who you think has the mildest Asperger's here and then putting in members names in the poll

Posting another poll asking who you think has the most severe Asperger's here and putting members names in the poll

Spamming the board with posting old news from a few years ago or months back and old videos too about news

Bumping old threads from years back with "bump"

Posting a thread questioning Amanda Bagg's autism

Posting a thread here saying accepting autism is like a traffic jam and calling it brain damage

Question other peoples diagnoses

PMing a mod asking if you can call gay members here f**g**s and ask if you can tell them they are going to hell and then end up befriending them on the forum

Do popularity threads

Responding to posts/threads you think are done by trolls

Don?t disclose too much personal info (like name, phone number, where you live etc)

Don?t use the names of anyone else on here when you post, unless they have said directly that it is okay, and don?t use the real names of people you know or have known IRL either.

Remember that just because you don?t like something doesn?t make it abuse or bullying.

Don?t mock people's special interests or obsessions.

Don?t assume other aspies to be exactly like yourself, and don?t assume all aspies have the same traits or problems.

Don?t question the diagnosis of other people.

Don?t tell aspies who don?t like their diagnosis that they?re special and that it?s the will of god!

Don?t make moronic claims like aspies are aliens, or AS is caused by aliens or satan, or other ludicrous ?theory?.

Don?t assume all aspies are the same.

Don?t make assumptions about self-diagnosed people.

Cry for attention and do stupid things when you don't get it.

Don't become too emotional with posts, try to be as objective as possible. Mistakes I made in the past but learned from. Also don't disclose too much about your personal life.

Posting huge blocks/walls of text.
Failing to be concise.
