I can't speak for Anbuend, but I'd prefer that the book refer to the autistic community as a whole, not just those that are deemed "high functioning".

Ditto. I think this is probably what anbuend meant. There are people on here who identify as LFA, and others who probably would be considered LFA by professionals. Others have PDD-NOS. Why be exclusive? Anyone on the spectrum who wants to contribute should have the possibility of being included.

Again, I wrote this in 2 minutes, I didn't mean to purposefully offend or exclude anyone. Sorry.

This isn't even the final draft. Or the first draft. Just an example, really.

hi, I'm Merle

Judge me by my post count, do you?

I may have only recently joined this particular board, but I sure know what a smiley is (I've been posting on online message boards for almost a decade now). If I hadn't added the winkey to my post, some might have taken my statement seriously.

I don't think chicken soup would do anything for someone with Autism, unless of course, that was their preferred meal (which would then make them comfortable until the next routine fork comes up).

"Soul" is one of those concepts I can't grasp; like "faith", "belief", "theology", etcetera (am I delayed, or am I advanced in this aspect? That's a question worth pondering).

Don't worry, neither do most Nts, they just aren't as honest with themselves about it as you are.

The idea of a chicken soup for the soul book to start with in my mind has always been a smarmy shallow NT sort of thing.
I'd assume that theres not one for aspies yet cuz aspies aren't as frivolous or smarmy.

I dunno, maybe i model myself too much as the model of aspieness. cognicentrism. can't live with it, can't escape it.

hi, I'm Merle

well, I certainly was prepared for your statement to be serious, Axon. Sorry, but even emoticons/smileys are difficult for me to interpret as to any one's meaning. So I wasn 't judging you from your post count, I was confused as to what your winking smiley meant.

I just recieved a reply to the email I sent Chicken Soup:

Quote:

Dear Jonathan Thank you for contacting us. Our company policy has changed. We have stopped the practice of accepting new Chicken Soup for the Soul book title ideas from outside sources. We have found that the titles proposed are usually similar or identical to ones we are already considering or working on in-house. We do appreciate your interest in our books. Sincerely, Chicken Soup for the Soul

Google won't tell me what "Trybl Vortx" is, but I did find something when I typed in "cognicentrism". I got nothing before because I was using dictionary.com. I don't use google for word definitions.

cognicentrism; cogni= thought, centrism as in centered.

Like ethnocentrism.

Meaning the bias created when one assumes others or all things think like one self.

Also, the bias which says ones own way of thinking is superior to some other without rational proof or reason-

Trybl vortx is something i created.

Can we get back to what this thread is about please? Did anyone read the email I got from Chicken Soup for the Soul? I quoted it in a post that's in the middle of the last page. It looks like we'll have to make our own book, which is probably a better idea...

I'm the one who thought of this and started this thread but I don't have the resources to publish a book.
