Sorry but you can't just come on this website and posting general statements that are definitely not true for everyone. You can't just assume that everyone with AS/autism is a failure in life and that they aren't happy with themselves or capable of doing anything worthwhile. I mean, we all have moments where we screw up and we aren't happy with ourselves, but my point is that you can't come on here and post stuff like this without getting hate from everyone.

I am happy with who I am and I wouldn't want to be NT or be anyone else thank you very much.

I find it ironic that your interests are "helping" people on the spectrum but you're just pissing a lot of us off.

Whelp, if----IF----the OP is a troll / someone bent on getting you all wound-up, the OP succeeded.

The OP's original post, and indeed the comments that she or he has subsequently made, are out of place, ill-informed and unwelcome on this site. No one with a genuine desire to 'help' would have even dreamt of making such tactless and hurtful remarks; even the username is injurious. Little wonder that they have been promptly labelled a troll.

As for doing it on religious (and thus perhaps 'compassionate' grounds), there is no religion on earth that would countenance such behaviour. Whoever their God is, He does not approve.

I hate having Asperger's. I'd rather be given a neurotypical brain any day. It's just so much easier to be in the majority. And there are so many jobs out there that I cannot do but want to do.

I can't work in retail because of my social anxiety with interacting with customers, and I hate the general public anyway. I know I could apply for a self-filler or warehouse assistant, but some retail places swap you around and they might force me to go on the tills, and when I explain that it makes me anxious I just know I will get told these cliches: ''if you don't like it there's the door'', ''it's part of your job, you can't pick and choose what you want to do'', ''we all have certain parts of our jobs we hate but we have to do it...''

It's like nobody understands how crippling anxiety and depression can be. That is what makes jobs so hard for me, and if I'm supposed to follow those 3 annoying cliches then there's no point in me working at all. But I cannot apply for any benefits because I am ''too capable''. If more people understood people with emotional disorders (to me AS is an emotional disability), then my life would be easier. :(

I have a job and I live alone, independently. Albert Einstein was and Bill Gates are aspies. Many aspies are married, with children. Some go to college and are the best students. And you cant 'beat autism.' if you're born with it, you die with it. it has its good and bad sides, its strenghs and weaknesses. it has its gifts.

Troll or not, you are an imbecile!

I will now dissect everything you've slurred out of that thing you call your brain!

"They will have a very hard time enjoying life." Please come to terms you'll only amount to the intelligence of a Neanderthal. We can't all be perfectly autistic!

"Your brain is basically not functioning the way it is supposed to be."

You who has minute thinking and learning capacity of a worm shouldn't make such tremendous allegations!

"I can only Imagine the complete cluelessness and Extreme difficulty you will have interacting with people (including even your own family members)..."

No, you can not imagine, because your not capable of higher intelligence, just accept it and move forward, sheep!

"...and the social isolation and depression that results."

I understand it's hard for you to comprehend the joy and wonder of higher intelligence, as stated before, learn to accept it!

"I can only Imagine how hard it would be for you to manage having a Job, A social life, and maybe even a girlfriend/boyfriend."

Again, and let me speak very slowly. You can not imagine it. Because. Your. A. Poor. Simple. Neurotypical.


"When your brain cannot even comprehend "Normal Reality". I can only Imagine how Desperately you wish you were normal."

Again, I'll speak slowly. It. Is. You. Who. Can. Not. Comprehend. And for this I pity you.

"How you desperately wants friends, a girlfriend, how you desperately wish you could be normal even just for a single day."

Desperation is fear and only those with lower intelligence are fearful. Come to terms with your fear, pathetic imbecile.


"I can only Imagine the embarressment in life."

No, imbecile, that is where your mistaken, the embarrassment is knowing we're of the same species.

"I can only Imagine the extreme ego that may result as a defence mechanism of the condistion. And its not any of your faults."

THERE'S A SPELL CHECK BUTTON ON YOUR COMPUTER/PHONE...use it Neanderthal! Condistion LOL is spelled CONDITION. Remember that spell check was created just for you. It's your friend. Don't be afraid. No one's at fault here, it's ok to be scared of what you couldn't possibly comprehend.

"You are "forced"into being that way, if i could I would relieve all of you of your suffering. If i could i would take all of your autism and give you my Neurotypical Brain. I am truly hurting for you."

How could a worm hurt for a mighty crow? Please don't make such ignoramus threats.


Try your best to understand the unknown. We'll teach you if you're a willing student.

I agree, and it sounds like to me this guy is manipulating everyone here, just for his own entertainment. I am thinking this guy is a prankster. :jester:

Troll or not while many here who are familiar with the information I will present there are some autistics here who
may find the following information useful

Saying "they" "you guys" is offensive enough without all the other negative assumptions

OTHERING 101: WHAT IS “OTHERING”?

Quote:
By “othering”, we mean any action by which an individual or group becomes mentally classified in somebody’s mind as “not one of us”. Rather than always remembering that every person is a complex bundle of emotions, ideas, motivations, reflexes, priorities, and many other subtle aspects, it’s sometimes easier to dismiss them as being in some way less human, and less worthy of respect and dignity, than we are.


Many of our problems are not the result of autism but the widespread attitudes that are the same or similar to and variations of yours. And no you don't beat autism

Quite right, KK. We should all know better and ignore such individuals. But surely a moderator could simply close down the original post? There have been quite a few like this recently.
