Exposing the Aspergers Scam - read it and weep!

Post Reply New Topic

For just about every state of human existence that is (gasp) different from the narrow accepted norms handed down from centuries past, there is always a vociferous legion of detractors, usually taking the "ex-whatever" form. Ex-gay, ex-autistic, ex-transsexual, ex-whatever - these people are usually co-opted in cult-life fashion by very clever, stealth, predatory "leaders" whom they will often quote as demigods. If one steps back, it is not hard to see how this can happen - living with, or discovering that a loved one is a member of one of these totally not understood and despised minorities IS shocking, and in many cases, the is a genuine sense of loss to others. These people, vulnerable in their grieving, can easily entrench in their state of denial when fed this ex-whatever drivel by exploitative leaders. There seems to be a particular disproportionate representation in the American fundamentalist Christian crowd, resulting in oddly un-God-like behaviour, often manifested in hatred and judgment, by the very people who claim their lives are lived according the word of God. Strangely, all of these pure and holy leaders are highly visible, wealthy at the expense of the vulnerable, and all in all pretty screwed up themselves.

As a rule, I give people all the time they need to come around. Reasonable people eventually will, or will genuinely try. Many will be unable to overcome the prejudices instilled in them. There will always be unreasonable people. They are detrimental to my well-being, and I simply sever my relationships with them.

It is the troll and this "ex" business that is the scam, not the extensive, scientifically-backed community of autistic people who collectively add unimaginably to society.

Holy... A lot of amusing reading, thanks for sharing this "article".
Sorry if we're not responding in the way you hoped.

Have you pm'ed a moderator about this thread?

That gets much quicker action as they monitor their PMs more than the getting mod attention thread, so for urgent action it's best to PM, you can check who is likely to be on soonest from one of the threads in the wrongplanet.netdiscussion sub-forum.

oh dear.

Anyone know the link to this article? I can't see it for looking?

I didn't read the whole original post, but, I read enough to know that it is nothing but crap, and posted only to cause pointless arguement.

Hey, lets all just say pointless stuff now because this thread ain't going anywhere...

AR** BUISCUITS...

Sorry. Got Tourettes... no really...

Go fix your head.

Who you saying that to? Me... or the original poster... If your saying it to me then yeah, I do need my head fixing... I'm insane...

No, no, to the OP

Oh ok. Yeah, might bang my head with a hammer some more then...

Sounds like you lied you a$$ off to a bunch of doctors for attention and most likely benifits so you could sit on your a$$ and do what you wanted exactly as you describe. You don't suddenly become NT.



I run a successful business I built from the ground up and have worked my butt off my entire life to get there. No 'L' on my forehead mate (you must have been looking in a mirror).



I'm not asking for help or in need of help. Having someone explain why I am the way I am and how to work around it was all the help I needed (Thank You Dr Attwood). Many others do need a bit of help from time to time. The only unfair thing is what I see around me, lying, cheating, dishonesty... and these are not from AS people. Only thing I deserve is alittle understanding and patience because I did't get your subtle body gestures and expressions (...well I didn't until I memorised a few books on what to look for and what it means).



I don't lack them, I just had to learn them by rote and repetition unlike your NT a$$.



Yeap! I still feel like a child! Do I want to grow up? NO! I like the way I am. My 'abilities' far outway being able to read your mood and body language. I can live with the tics and horrid sounds and smells and everything else.
Isn't fulfullment of needs and wants a basic human desire? Just because my needs and wants are not the same as yours, it doesn't make me any less human or adult. If anything my needs and wants are much simpler to gratify... and don't hurt anyone else in the process.



Do I seek friends and companionship? Bloody oath I do, as does everyone. It's just the amount of it that varies. If a NT person has a social need the size of a bucket, mine is the size of a shot glass by comparison. Do I tell others I'm AS? No... they generally work it out for themselves I'm quite eccentric but don't know why.



How can you know how somebody else feels when you can't feel it yourself? I'm not in their head, I don't know what they are thinking. They are sure as hell not going to tell me how they are feeling either.



Subhuman? Now that's just plain nasty. Would be like me calling you sub-intelligent.



Sorry, so wrong. I'm creative and take joy in creating. Do I want to take part in society as a whole? No way! Most of the NTs I've known lie to themselves and to others... and keep a straight face doing it and have no conscience or remorse in doing it. I relive over and over in my head everything that I feel I have done to inflict pain or hurt on another person. Unsettled until the situation is resolved.



I think you played the system mate, nothing else to it. You were never AS as you cannot know inside why it's different to a NT. The only real truth here is what were your motives?

I'm not going to assume he doesn't have AS. He could have gone in denial or genuinely thinks he doesn't have it.

I only assume he is just plain stupid.

Just someone who has discovered the world.

Then was told that the enlightened super vision was called Asperger's Syndrome.

I read around the blog, lots of problems and no answers.

We are fairly hopeless when it comes to all the world problems.

The only person you can change is yourself.

St. Benard Parish was a very isolated place. I think it was 1933 when the first road was built connecting it to the world. It was settled by Islanos, people brought from the Canary Islands by the Spanish after 1500. When the Spanish came they found a white people with an old written language, so old none could read it. They could be killed but not controlled, so the Spanish deported them to the New World.

After a few generations the Spansh gave up, they could not be changed.

As a culture they have shown classic autistic traits for a long time. Herds of horses and cattle were driven from Texas for the Islanos were known to have a very special connection to animals, and could train them better than anyone else.

Their Language, name, was Guanche, the Spanish forbid them to speak it, but it continued in songs, dances, and through south Amercia they are Gacho, who work with horses and cattle.

Leaving St Benard Parish causes them stress, they do not connect with the modern world.

An Asperger's level of autism is common in the culture, it works when they are together.

They are my best model of what a Asperger's community would be like.

it is difficult for me to determine the nature of his post (OP).

he puts a lot of effort into crafting his words to have maximum effect, which shows a desire to make an impression.

he reminds me also of a type of person i see on that jerry springer show (inbred looking rednecks (like who drive old pick up trucks and smoke their corn cob pipes through missing teeth with their sisters by their side chanting KKK slogans etc)) . their words for the show are obviously scripted to arouse maximum contention among the audience.

i can not tell whether he is wanting to appear "brutal" to elicit admiration from people who like that kind of thing, or whether he really believes what he says.

he did obviously put some thought into his post, but he may be manic as i suspect from looking at his blog, so this post is possibly just another "babble spray" that they are prone to.

maybe he is a social thrill seeker.

i care not and i am off to see if there are any other threads that i have any idea about.

*coughcough*TROLL*coughcough*
it's so obvious and that article is probably not serious anyway
