LFA people on here creeping me out a bit on here

Post Reply New Topic

Right so, because something isn't all rosy it should be sectioned off, so we can pretend it doesn’t exist. Horse s**t isn’t pretty it is still good for growing things in. Those damn incontinent animals always sh*****g all over the place. I can't believe they can't just go to the loo like humans can. It is ridiculous. And what about these 'children' things. Have you noticed that they know less stuff than us adults. What the heck is up with that?

well I just gonna show u guys what i mean by kinda creeped out by a autistic website

Autistic Girls Page

now take alook at that doesnt that look kinda creepy? she has zebras all over the page an weird clapping music th ewhole thing freaked me out

For some of us on here it is a real issue and a real outgrowth of our autism-related perceptual differences.

None of us have said everyone has it, but some of us do. And we've all been clear it's only a problem for some people.

It's degrading to come on and tell us that we ought to go off somewhere else and hide the fact we have trouble with that, just so that you can rest assured that nobody will think you are "like that". Even worse to make it sound like there's something more wrong with having that problem than with having other autism-related problems. And like those of us who do have the problem just ought to shut up about it.

Also -- in general, not just to you -- what is it with people being seemingly obsessed with never hearing about experiences different than their own, because if it was publicly known that some autistic people, say, were savants, or lost abilities in puberty, or could talk, or couldn't go to the bathroom, or couldn't talk... or whatever, then "people would think we're all like that"? What's with "people would think we're all like that" anyway? I don't get it and it's really irritating to hear it all the time just trying to discuss our real lives and people jumping in and going "don't say that, people might think I'm like that too". ERRRRGH. It gets aggravating after awhile, and when accompanied by apparent disgust with the subject matter, also degrading.

So, by the way, is the thing the OP keeps saying about "bettering ourselves", as if we just could do all these things consistently if we wanted to enough, and as if most of us haven't been treated like crap our whole lives by anyone who noticed we couldn't do it.

You are freaked out by that? That is mightyzebra a member on WP. A nice person, quite sensible actually. I'm willing to bet there a people that are freaked out by you. It is human nature to be freaked out by things you don't really understand. However it is possible to overcome this fear.

What I like about this post is it is honest. Mostly people are in denial about being freaked out by things.

That's simply Death Metal

I knew a guy who listened to a lot of that...

though some of the sounds remind me of Dragonforce or 403 Forbiddena

It has been well documented that even very low functioning autistic people have good writing skills on computers, however the same documents suggested it may be socially dangerous to let them use the computer because a lot of them made allegations of abuse. One has to wonder whether they are capable of understanding the whole 'abuse' thing because I used to think abuse was as simple as someone tickling me. I wouldn't be scared of them, instead read books written by people who had LFA as a child and are now classified as HFA, some truly fascinating insights into the minds of the more severely autistic.

I've seen weirder sites and personal pages...looking at some peoples' myspaces...

actually im surprised she don't have horses in there ...well there has lot more weird thinks then that

ya i like dracon force but they have one big minus when they do live gigs..they cant play their own songs in live

The website looks nice.

Non-autistic people build websites like (design, personal, interest orientated and with music) these all the time as well.

Does the term "arcuate fasciculus" sound familiar? The arcuate fasciculus connects Broca's and Wernicke's areas, and damage to it causes difficulty with repetition (because of the disconnect between the area which perceives speech and the area which produces it). The type of aphasia I am familiar with which involves damage to the arcuate fasciculus is conduction aphasia, which is characterized by preserved comprehension and expression but difficulty with repetition. That's all I know about conduction aphasia- it's pretty rare. Obviously you don't speak although you have intact expression through writing, so I don't know how that would relate to conduction aphasia, since the speech of someone with conduction aphasia is supposed to be fluent. But then, you have other conditions which interfere with speech. So I'm not sure if he was referring to conduction aphasia or not, or some other type of aphasia I'm not familiar with (plus I don't really know much about your language abilities anyway).

But I agree that it gets sticky when you start comparing developmental disorders to conditions caused by brain damage. Just look at the research they've done with NLD and white matter- despite Rourke's neat little hypothesis it's not clear at all how white matter damage relates to NLD.

Sorry if I'm being a nerd about this- I just got my Masters in speech language pathology, so this interests me.

I think this is a cool web page.

I think tolerance of others is a good thing and should be exercised on wrong planet!

everyone is different and it is cool to be different you know

this

yeah I'm not getting how that is creepy

IIRC don't they do that? I remember seeing a picture of a 'live' song on wiki. Regardless they use some synthesizers and the like..



doesn't she have Zebras?

Seriously, haven't people here seen peoples' Myspace and some of the stuff they put up there?

I'm sorry you were creeped out (I really don't get why), but I happened to like the page. If you think her page is creepy then I shouldn't show you my myspace page (it's private anyway)
